I kept reading the whole āDustin doesnāt have that dogā for some reason
Isnāt that what his entire career is based on? He has faced a lot of guys who have been better than him on the ground, more technical on the feet, etcā¦. He still found a way to get to the super elite and fight for a championship 2x. There is no way he gets there without bringing the violence that he has. His durability and ability to overcome adversity is his number one asset.
^^^^ Dustin reminds me of Bisping in that way. He has great boxing and can knock guys out, but he isnāt really āspecialā in any one discipline. He is good everywhere, but heās able to beat guys because he has an insane work ethic and keeps going when most guys would have quit.
Bisping would break guys with his pace and volume, Dustin breaks guys with his ability to suck guys into a fire fight, his durability, and heart.
Honestlyā¦i really wasnāt the biggest Rashad fanā¦i can think of lots of fights i wanted him to loseā¦SN is from his UFC tonight days on Fuel TV when he had a shit eating grin on his face the whole hourā¦it used to crack me up and make my cheeks hurt (facial cheeks) at the same time
And I actually hated Jones (still do), so I wanted Rashad to beat him. I didnāt care for him then especially disliked Rashad after the Chuck KO, but he won me over against Forrest the next fight. After that I have always been a fan.
How do you feel about your boy now? Dustin was overconfident from early on
And kid got put down
Never was good, beating addict conor doesnt make you good
Have a good day
Yep. It what was one of those rare fights where I am a huge fan of both guys and while I was pulling for Dustin I was happy for Gaethje. I donāt think Gaethje beats Islam but I would love to see the fight and for him to get another opportunity at the belt.
Always a fan of The Diamond, win lose or draw. One of the most exciting fighters in the sport and has fought a whoās who of names. One of the most skilled guys in there. Always looking for a finish.
Gaethje landed a beautiful head kick. I did not expect that, if he did stop Dustin, I thought it would be a accumulation of punches. Both guys have a great chin, Justin set it up masterfully, great finish. Iām a big fan of his too.
