Anything MMA, except thumb wrestling

[Unforgiven]

Its not even a size thing, its a striking skill thing.

Eh...

I don't want to sound like I'm knocking Jones. The guy is talented as hell, but his size gives him the ability to utilize it like he does. If he didn't have a 8-9 inch reach advantage on guys he would be a much different fighters.

He's really really talented though.

That guy isn't losing until he moves to HW.

Not sure what the hell that was at the end. But Evans had nothing for Jones. Who's next?

Lol @ the guard pull

That guy isn't losing until he moves to HW.

Pretty much, he's just too big for anyone to do anything with in this weight class.

From a size standpoint it almost seems unfair, matched with his amazing skill it's brutal.

The LHW division parity run finally ends.

40-36

Rashad is done unless he gets a miraculous finish

Reach definitely has something to do with it too, especially in this fight. Rashad has great hands but he can't get inside those gigantic arms and legs.

Rashad has great hands against non strikers, everytime he's faced another good striker he's gets hurt.

How would he be as a heavyweight? Would he be able to put on the weight and keep his skills?

How people think he's cocky I'll never understand.

The power from guys like JDS would be an issue. He's tough but he wouldn't be able to walk those bigger guys back like he does right now, at least I think so.

I'd love to see it.

Me either, people are just hating

He came off humble in that interview but that's not how he always acts.

Who said it, an unnamed scout.

How would he be as a heavyweight? Would he be able to put on the weight and keep his skills?

He's said in the past when he moves, he'll fight around 240-245lbs. He would have to figure out a way to add some muscle to his legs.

He'll still have the reach advantage over every fighter, and a quickness advantage. The only difference is how does his wrestling & chin hold up against bigger guys. I'd pick him over most of the HW's today. I'd only pick JDS & Cain to beat him right now.

He does some unorthodox stuff in the octagon, but I don't think it's ever to try to embarrass his opponent. He's more just trying to gain a competitive advantage. Create things no one else can.
