⁠⁠@@GojimaruWe’re talking about mma striking though.. of course it’s linked to other parts of a fighter’s skill set. That’s how it’s being used, and that’s how it should be judged. What’s the point of having a discussion of ‘if it’s boxing only’ or ‘if it’s submission grappling only’? It’s called mixed martial arts, not split martial arts.. I’m not saying Makhachev is the best striker in his division.. but at least keep the parameters of the discussion meaningful, please..

@Gojimaru Ай бұрын

@@saifaldin_ He's an average striker in mma. In pure striking he's an amateur. His main striking advantage is that he's a southpaw and that nobody wants to wrestle with him. That's about it. Does it work for him? Sure. He keeps it simple, which is a good thing. His good defensive stats come from people trying to keep distance and counter him.

the hardest part about prognosticating is you never know what most of fighters will do. will they do the thing they should? or the thing they want to? some guys you know absolutely some you just think you do. will islam try to strike with dustin? will dustin try to defend takedowns rather than pull gilly? if you knew those answers for certain you could bet your house pretty safely on this fight.

@1acarrillo75 Ай бұрын

Excellent commentary!👍In my opinion, the reason why Dustin Poirier is not able to work on mat wrestling/grappling defense against someone like Makhachev is due to Dustin Poirier having major hip mobility issues. Because of Dustin's previous hip injury. Also, it is Makhachev's overall physicality and ground control pressure that is a bad matchup for Dustin Poirier. The only way anyone else will be able to beat Makhachev is if they match Makhachev's overall physicality and pressure, have slightly better stand-up skills, and are a more elite mat wrestler than Makhachev. That type of fighter still does not exist in the division. But someone will eventually come along to beat Makhachev. It is only a matter of time.

But I just don't think Arman has the finishing ability as far as submissions or striking to beat Makhachev. Plus, Makhachev's striking has improved since Arman and him last fought. Honestly, I can't stand Makhachev. I have been wanting him to loss for a while now. Unfortunately, I just don't think there is any fighter in that division that can beat Makhachev right now. Like I said, "Eventually someone will come along and beat Makhachev." But I just don't think it's going to be Dustin or Arman.
