So, let's hear the excuses
No excuses, feel sorry for him to be honest, in the same way I feel sorry for marquez after the pbf fight.
He looks outsized against most heavyweights these days, and MMA has evolved so much in recent years that even the biggest guys now have serious skillsets to complement their extraordinary size.
His overall skill level in all disciplines isnt as high as it needs to be to compete at the top level.
A few years ago, it was possible to keep winning with a mono-faceted game; its just not the case anymore.
He's still one of the best kickboxers the world has seen, and certainly one of the best every to fight MMA.
He's still one of my favourite fighters of all time. Amazing attitude to fighting, never afraid of a challenge, and one of the reasons I fell in love with combat sports.
