185 is deep. I'd have him at #9 with a fight set up against Strickland. Yes he's a title contender if the chips fall his way. I don't think he can beat Imavov but can beat Driscus.

Yes he is. I took mspart's statement as in a career.

Jon Jones if you accept the Dominick Reyes decision and former champ Khabib if you accept the Gleison Tibau decision.

I think Bo has been properly labeled as a high level prospect. That outcome can go both ways. As for RDR I think he's properly rated. Outside the noise and spectacle of the last fight he was and still is considered a legit contender for the title. He's up there in age so the window is small.

I guess you didn't get the memo. It's not 2011 anymore. The fighters are far better now

For sure. He looked bad. Like really bad

What I am saying is Bo has more talent to become a better skillful striker with his hands like Cain Velasquez. Neither Gaethje or Chandler have that talent nor did they ever possess that. Poirier pieced them both up because both of them have the same blueprint; head down, move forward, swing. Their hand skills are average. And yes, Gaethje has an awesome leg kick. His KO of Poirier in the rematch was nuts

At this stage is his career he's more talented than both of them in striking. Michael Chandler just learned head movement a couple years ago and Gaethje has no real boxing skills. He just puts his head down and swings. Luckily he has hammers for fists

Saw one clip where he showed humility and said RDR is just a better, more experienced and skilled fighter. He followed with the generic, "I have to get better".

I don't think Bo knew what to do in that fight. RDR has experience, is 6' 4" (height & length), big (fought at heavier weights), has world class submissions, and is a competent striker (dutch thai boxing). It was a perfect storm. As for Bo's style in general I haven't been able to figure it out. He's been head and shoulders above his competition so far that I think he's still trying to figure it out. My opinion is Cain Velasquez's style would be a great blue print for Bo. Nickal has decent hands. I hope he doesn't go the Gaethje/Chandler route. He's far more talented than those two. He has potential but I really think AKA would be the right move.

Bo should be training with Cormier (AKA) and the Dagestani's when they're in the US. ATT is a great team but I don't think they have the right playbook for someone like Bo.

@scourge165 ... Vid has gotten blurrier over time but one of my favorite vids of Sat

Satiev was around 6 feet and spent his career at 74. Wrestled once at Euro's up at 86

The two best to ever do it (Medved & Satiev) were tall and had length

Yes!

WKN, I don't think thoughtful & well balanced takes are appropriated for this forum. Just the vibes I get

Most recent article I could find High School Wrestler Melvin Miller Commits to Wrestle for Either The Melvins or Steve Miller Band Johnstown, PA — After weeks of speculation and mounting pressure from the classic rock and sludge metal communities, two-time state qualifier and high school wrestling phenom Melvin Miller shocked fans Tuesday morning by announcing he will be committing to wrestle for either the Steve Miller Band or The Melvins. “I’ve narrowed it down to the two musical groups that best align with my wrestling philosophy: chaos and cosmic flight,” said Miller, wearing a dual-logo hoodie featuring both a psychedelic horse and a screaming sludge goblin. “The Steve Miller Band has the air of a ‘space cowboy’ I vibe with. But The Melvins bring that raw, unshowered mat energy. I’m torn.” Sources say both bands have offered Miller full ride backstage passes and exclusive rights to body slam roadies during sound checks. “We think Melvin could bring a new layer of theatricality to our shows,” said Buzz Osborne of The Melvins, mid-way through deadlifting an amplifier. “We’ve been looking for a wrestler who screams Midwestern menace.” Meanwhile, Steve Miller himself expressed cautious optimism. “We’re more of a mellow groove, but if Melvin can souffle someone into the fifth dimension during ‘Fly Like an Eagle,’ I say let the kid cook.” Miller’s coach, Bill "Biceps" Bassett, said the decision was ultimately about style. “Melvin doesn’t just pin opponents—he performs. One time he hit a guy with a flying squirrel and shouted ‘Abracadabra’ mid-air. That’s not normal. That’s showmanship.” While the final decision is expected at a press conference scheduled next school year, industry insiders say Miller is also weighing a surprise third offer from the WWF-era Macho Man tribute band Ooh Yeah! At press time, Miller was seen bench-pressing a fog machine while muttering lyrics from both “Stoner Witch” and “Jungle Love” in what analysts are calling a “deeply conflicted groove state.”

Most pressing matter is changing reversals from 2 points to 3 and it's not even up for review? Shame

Ok. Stepping in. Pistols at 7am the 11th of July at Weehawken Dueling Grounds. Coordinates: 40.77022529857003, -74.01695724679742
