In the UFC levels of competition, you don't see them as much. |
I wish he would fight in UFC. He's probably one of the best strikers in MMA today. It's not every day you see a striker of his caliber. |
I would like to see him try his hand in it as well.

I think he would surprise the hell out of them.

I'm not sure he would surprise them at all. Threre's lots of video on him so they would know what to expect. They would have plenty to go on in order to build a strategy. I'm not saying he wouldn't do well, just that his skill level wouldn't surprise anyone.

His skill wouldn't surprise anyone? I disagree, but we may never see it.

All I'm saying is that it's well known that he's very skilled. So his skill shouldn't be a surprise.

OK, I see what you're saying. I just mean there aren't many fighting in MMA with his coordination and skill. His kicks look as effortless as his punches.

I just wonder about his ground game. He has great takedowns, but does he have any ground fighting training? Since he has been in some level of MMA competitions, I imagine that he has some, but I wonder how much?

I heard someone say he has a wrestling background and has been training BJJ for a few years now. He seems like a guy who's hard to take down. I think he'd do really well.

If that is the case, then I think he could hold his own. I am not sure if he would be able to compete for the title immediately, but I think he could get in there and make some waves.

Yeah, I think he would need to fight some warm up fights in UFC before he takes on any champions. He's still new to MMA, but it would be fun to see.
