Half of the Caucasus region of males between the ages 20-35 that could make 185 would probably beat Israel in a fight. The UFC market whoever the fuck they want.
He has not fought a single high level offensive grappler in his career and Yoel and Bobby Knuckles don’t have takedowns for shit.
I’d say Alex Periera’s MMA career is a scam. He was given the fastest track of fast-tracks to fight Israel in the UFC. There’s also a lot of talk of getting him in superfights with other champion strikers at LHW and skipping the line entirely.
Cite for me a list of “Caucasus region” MW’s who have gone 5-0 or 6-0 in the UFC MW division to even get close to a fight with Adesanya while he has gone 13-1 in the MW division.
You think the ACA MW champ, 18-2 Gasanov is the favorite to beat Adesanya?
“Caucasus region” MW’s are in the UFC, why are they not going 13-1?
Russian MW’s in the UFC just lost to Park, Borralho and Strickland. Looking forward to see what the guy who just beat Hawes can do though.
It’s a known fact that nearly every male in Dagestan and other parts of the Caucasus are taught to grapple from a young age. Most at a high level.
Just because they are underrepresented by promotions and are absolute nobodies in the international MMA scene doesn’t mean they wouldn’t beat the piss out of a guy who got taken down by Alex Pereiera and grapplefucked by Jan Blachovich.
I don’t think Pereira’s career is a scam. He won world titles in kickboxing to get fast tracked in the UFC. Even in the UFC, he beat Bruno Silva who was 17-1 in the ten years prior to fighting Pereira and was 3-0 with three finishes in the UFC before the Pereira fight. Pereira then beat Strickland who had a six fight win streak going. Strickland in his last fight even managed to beat one of those invincible, superhuman Dagestani fighters that Jack worships. Pereira then went and did it, beat the fighter nobody was beating. Not a scam, just a winner.
You want to talk about a scam…look at the WFW division, Bellator just signed two losing UFC BW’s who are 40 and 42 and now they are ranked #1 and #2 in Bellator’s 145 lb “division” that has only seven fighters in their “top 10”. Now Cyborg is gonna walk around with her 145 lb world title and defend it in that “division”. Oh and another scam that blew up, the WLW division that failed after PFL built it for Kayla so she didn’t have to cut weight like everyone else in the sport.
1st you do nothing but troll the UG, I’m not making any bets with you.
2nd you never asked me about Chimaev vs Adesanya. I’m still waiting on Chimaev’s return to MW. I’m hoping for a Chimaev vs Nickal title fight and thats what I’ve thought is highly likely down the line. Made a thread about it months ago before Chimaev got inactive for so long.
I’m not even an Adesanya fan but I objectively acknowledge his 13-1 run through the MW division.
I also objectively asked you why that Caucus fighters lost to Park, Borralho and Strickland and why none of them signed to the UFC have been able to go at least 6-0 over the past few years to even get close to Adesanya.
If you know so much about these Caucus region fighters, perhaps share your thoughts with the UG about the top five MW’s from the region and explain what makes them stand above the rest.
Have a good one, Jack. Try not to let Adesanya upset you too bad. You can’t let a weird guy who wears strange clothes and makeup and looks kinda like Grace Jones in Conan get to you.
