  1. If you ever wondered what Bruce Lee was talking about when he mentioned expressing yourself honestly as a martial artist, or what Cub Swanson meant by "Beautiful Destruction", take a good look at the Mullarkey fight.

  2. Would be, if you don't know what yer looking at.

  3. Bobby could surprise us, which wouldn't surprise us.

  4. He will grow into his ranking. I see the cardio you are talking about but as he relaxes into his UFC status his striking will flow easier, hes still rushing somethings & over throwing his shots. Once he relaxes into his UFC status, gets over the "impostor syndrome" that Paul Craig talked about, he will relax into his ranking n start flowing, Anderson Silva style, like water.

  7.  @crustywaffles1110  Id say you could easily compare his style to the big Cuban HW who got cut by the UFC & is now doing well in Karate Combat.

  10. He doesn't rest on his laurels, he's adding to n tweaking his style from fight to fight, a VERY dangerous & excellent trait to have. Like early McG, it makes him very difficult for an opponent to prepare for. Also like McG, he needs to manage his energy systems better. He is a very talented MMA boxer, he's taking bits n pieces from various boxers & MMAsts n made em his own. Like Lomachenko is an eclectic amalgamation of guys like Roberto Duran, Roy Jones & Mike Tyson, Ruffy is also an amalgamation of guys like Cub Swanson, McG, Anderson Silva, with shades of Canelo in his boxing. He is very talented but he is going to have to learn how to go through his power gears better & learn to switch it up from power to speed to volume & back to power again. He should start looking at boxers like Leo Santa Cruz, Marco Antonio Barrera & Julio Cesar Chavez, less spectacular boxers but excellent at managing their energy. Sometimes you gotta dig in for the long haul & you need that stamina base so you can then go through your power gears, which he clearly has. He has a lotta potential & that Fighting Nerds team has a very talented crop of fighters at the moment, its quite possible they could hold every title from FW to MW all at once & for a few years in a row.

  11. We're about to find out.

  12. If MMA was run under a similar model to boxing, Poirier would be one of the 4 major title holders, no doubt about it. Theres only one Poirier in the top ten & there's only 2 fighters at Poiriers level in the top 5. What yer basically saying is that if you put Ruffy against a world champ right now, he would lose. Let the guy pay his dues, like Poirier did, then give him a top 15 guy, or two, then a top 10 guy, or two, before you start talking about him vs top 5 ranked contenders.

  13. Bobby is skilled & experienced enough to beat almost anyone at LW, but I don't see where he schools Ruffy, if he beats him hes gonna have to go into the trenches n scrap for a win. Green had a very tough fight vs Vanata first time out & Vanata is similarly styled to Ruffy but he diesnt "use the ring" as well.
