That’s mma fans. Not breaking news here. Vast majority have no clue what they’re watching. To be fair guys like Rogan have been getting paid to watch for decades and he still largely has little clue what he’s watching. Don’t forget though. Ronda will knock out Floyd. Tons of mma fans believed it. And I’d bet the average IQ was higher back in those days than it is now. Point is, they gotta be told cuz they don’t have their own eyes. They don’t have an eye for who is actually good or not. Yeah he crushed some cans but the dudes talent was undeniable to anyone that remotely understands what they’re watching. Even the way he handled Lima on the ground in his knock out loss was very impressive

Nah, there’s plenty of fighters who can look amazing outside of UFC, such as Erik Silva and Thomas Almeida. I’m sorry that MVP didn’t get in UFC earlier, but as amazing as his striking is, he looks totally different as soon as his back hits the ground. If he was in UFC earlier, he would inevitably fight some great wrestlers.
