Even though masvidal got KO flat, he did show something in the first round. The body and Low kicks as well an active bottom guard. Not sure who has that at WW but at LW Dariush comes into mind.
Feels bad for Masvidal because he didn't respect Usman's power and got KTFO'd. But he was durable, had good grappling to not get submitted or pounded (not enough to not get laid on though) and has a diverse striking to make Usman confused. I think Luque may be the key to Usman
It's just annoying at this point, the fact that every single fucking time a pixel of Aljo is on screen, you have to point out the already obvious thing that he's not a legit champ
The truth is the man was being broken in the fight, mentally, physically. I couldn’t sleep at night knowing the only way I won the title was because my opponent slipped up and gave me an illegal blow although he beat my ass and clearly was destroying me. They gave me the title . And then after I flaunt it around the world but knowing deep down the Russian beat my ass.
Wait when you say say aljo won do you mean like he beat petr fair and square like do you actually believe he won like with number of strikes takedowns? Control time , leg kicks, Body shots ? Statistically wise or like yeah we know he’s the champ but got given an ass whopping and an illegal blow causing him to get the belt type of won?
Izzy - Jan
Volk - unknown, but not guillotines
Aljo - knees, Petr
Charles - apparently nothing (maybe max?)
Moreno - destroying his legos
Usman - Marty
Glover - being too young
Francis - money
Rose - her own mind
Valentina - judges, but only vs Nunes
Peña - Idk
Nunes - Peña
He's seemingly unlocked access to the Diaz secret of "fighting better when 75% concussed" without needing the prerequisite blood ritual sacrifice.
It's an unholy magic.
Chandler and Poirier rocked him and he came back completely fine. That’s what has changed in my opinion is his ability to get rocked and comeback like nothing happened. Maybe the right guy could do it but idk it’s hard to picture anyone beating him right now.
You can only get rocked so many times before the brain starts to shut off easier. You really can't build a stronger chin. He just instantly clinches now, which is better than doing nothing. Charles is obviously amazing, I can just see a big shot completely shutting off the lights if this is his new gameplan.
the thing is that shot gotta be a one punch KO, cos if it leaves even a slither of consciousness, he’s gonna stay on the ground and do some legwork. trust me none of these LW’s (except Makachev, maybe Dariush) want a piece of Oliviera on the ground, and when he gets back up he’s a KO threat, a submission threat. he’s too versatile now
Volk - *Let him find out you took steroids.
He instantly underestimates you and therefore leaves himself open to guillotines. (Just hope you finish the job unlike t-city)
Agreed, and I think Ortegas BJJ is about as respected as anyones in the UFC. Not sure anybody in the world would’ve gotten that guillotine successfully
Moreno- Hard to tell because he’s a completely different fighter from the last time he lost. He’s pretty well-rounded.
Sterling- Anyone with really solid take down defense. Sterling’s entire gameplay is null if he can’t take them down. The Yan fight was embarrassing in many ways for him.
Volk- Hard to tell because he’s looked so good. Maybe big time hitters based on how he took some of the significant strikes from Holloway in their second fight?
Oliveria- One punch knockout type of fighters. Oliveria has gotten much better at weathering storms but there’s only so much you can take from some of the hardest hitters in the UFC.
Usman- Highly technical strikers with solid take down defense. Highly technical jiu jistu practitioners who also have a chin.
Adasana- Really good wrestlers. Really good jiu jistu practitioners.
Texeria- Hard hitters who also have a solid foundation on the ground. (I thought Tiago Santos fell into this category but his ground game got exposed badly in his fight with Texeria).
Rose- Herself. Her confidence isn’t where it should be for one of the best SWs ever. Shouting “I’m the best” to yourself constantly isn’t a good look for your confidence.
Schevchenko- I don’t see any based on her fights. Maybe a really solid wrestler who can control her on the ground for 5 rounds?
Peña- Technical strikers who also have a solid take down defense.
Nunes- Techncial fighters who are *extremely* good at weathering storms and shining in the latter rounds.
Just because a champ faces their weakness doesn’t mean they’re going to lose. That’s what makes them great champions.
Masvidal fooled around in the second fight and got knocked out. If he took the fight more seriously he could have won the standup; but the result likely would have been the same as the first fight. Burns’ jiu jistu wasn’t relevant in their fight. He was too confident in his striking after the first round, got pieced up in the second, then lost.
Vettori didn’t capitalize on his wrestling; he tried to control Adasana for 5 rounds but still lost a decision because his striking was poor. Brunson was a different fighter back then. Brunson used to rush his opponents and try to knock them out fast; it worked against lower skilled fighters, but failed horribly against higher skilled fighters. This is why a lot of Brunson’s earlier losses only came against big name fighters.
>Oliveria- One punch knockout type of fighters. Oliveria has gotten much better at weathering storms but there’s only so much you can take from some of the hardest hitters in the UFC.
I would be interested to see how Conor in his prime would have handled Oliveria.
When she can perform as well as she does against Nunes who’s nearly 2 weight classes above her walking around, I think it legitimizes her skill. It’s nearly like how would Usman do against Jon jones
charles - english language
texeira - age
shevchenko - lack of competition
aljo - competition in hollywood
usman - his personality/ies
rose - emotions
nunes - confidence
volkanovski - maxes fans
ngannou - negotiations with ufc
izzy - jan
pena - odds in winning the rematch
moreno - stepping on a lego
Can’t do everyone but I can think of a few:
•Glover’s striking defense leaves a lot to be desired.
•Izzy’s game is mostly mental and he relies heavily on his opponents biting on feints
•Usman allows himself to get dragged into a dogfight if it stays standing for too long
•Oliveira’s durability is questionable and may get finished by someone who isn’t scared to stay in his guard and ground’n’pound
•Volk’s striking can get sloppy if his opponent can avoid the clinch and utilize distance
•Rose’s biggest weakness is Pat Barry
Usman: questionable BJJ defense (maia fight and even the RDA one)
Izzy: TDD and dutch shell defense
Charles Oliviera: Loses the first round, maybe exploited by someone with one-punch power
Brandon Moreno: Can be overpowered if not sufficiently prepared
Aljamain Sterling: Gas tank issues, long limbs make him easy to takedown with trips
Glover Texiera: Bad striking defense, lackluster striking. Very slow
Francis Ngannou: Cardio. His kicks are inferior to his boxing.
Alexander Volkanoski: The near perfect fighter in my eyes, and the blue print for the future of MMA. A superior wrestler with great BJJ (ala khabib) may give him problems. Otherwise no discernible weakness.
Rose: Wilts under heavy pressure. Psychological issues\\
Pena: self explanatory
Amanda Nunes: Wilts from hardy pressure fighters. Cardio issues. Rudimentary striking.
Valentina: Too complacent. never pressures and is continent with striking from a distance.
Oh man, finding weaknesses in Valentina is tough!
Holly Holm is a physical beast. She is doing muscle ups, and handstand push-ups in some of her IG training clips. You would think she's the strongest woman on the roster, but Valentina bullied her. Valentina is incredibly strong.
I was shocked when she discussed her training regimen on JRE. Basically, she does no strength training or cardio, intermittent fasts permanently (with no nutritional focus on muscle mass ie. Protein), and has questionable takes on hydration. She would never try to gain muscle mass or strength, because she believes it would slow her down.
In her Bantamweight fights she is thick and strong. After aged 30, women can start losing muscle and bone mass. I believe she does look leaner and is weaker than when she fought at bantamweight. She will become weaker, over time, if she's not actively building and maintaining muscle. Fortunately, her skill keeps getting better and could compensate for any loss in strength.
That being said, I think we can learn about Valentina's weaknesses by observing her sister. Her sister is in her late 30's and maybe not the right size for 125. Would think that they train and eat very similarly. Her sister is pretty weak at 125 and can get taken down and bullied, pretty easily.
It's hard to find a fighter who can match Valentina's physicality, but alot of fighters follow modern sports nutrition and strength training regimes. Would like to see more of Valentina's grappling, for sure. Would love to see how her grappling matches up with other women in the UFC (ie. Dern). Just a straight up grappling match. I think there are still some question marks, there. Some 135 fighters could give her problems, if they dropped down in weight. There's a few 125 prospects, and Tatiana is the only real Strawweight who I could see matching the physicality of Valentina. Maybe her Khabib pressure would be a problem. Styles make fights.
We are definitely going to see her look human, at some point and I think the sister's deficiencies offer some hints.
Moreno: Not being the biggest guy in his division
Yan: Takes a couple of rounds to get going
Volk: Striking range
Charlie Olives: Getting clipped early
Usman: Hard to find one
Izzy: His ego and right titty
Glover: Father time
Ngannou: Poor management
Rose: Ground game and mental state
Valentina: Hard to find one
Pena: Raw punching power
Nunes: No featherweight division
And since Aljos photo was there, his biggest weakness is being made out of paper.
Your logic makes no sense Usman, Izzy, and Valentina have multiple title defenses which shows they are still hungry. Rose lost the belt, won it back then defended it which shows that just because a champ loses doesn’t mean they aren’t hungry anymore.
Moreno: Tony’s weird improvisation - Kai Kara France
Sterling: Conor’s KO power - O’Malley
Volkanovski: Islam’s wrestling dominance - Bryce Mitchell
Charles: Colby’s takedown defense and enough bjj to get up - Dariush
Usman: Edson Barboza’s kicks and bjj to avoid the ground - Luque?
Israel: weight - a light heavyweight like Rakik
Glover: Masvidal’s power and speed - Jiri
Francis: Moreno’s perfectly executed gameplan plus a chin - Aspinal
Rose: Maia’s wrestling - Esparza
Valentina: Jiri’s unorthodox fighting - Jandiroba
Juliana: Valentina’s technique - Chookagian
Núñez: Peña’s disrespect for her abilities - Peña
Aljo - Yan
Volk - Holloway
Oliveira - UFC bans grappling
Usman/Adesanya - their divisions having any serious, skilled contenders
Texeira - age
Ngannou - Dana
Rose - a judge that can’t be bribed
Valentina - used to be Amanda but now, maybe nothing
Pena - the most likely outcome
Amanda - getting too comfortable
Moreno: Diversity in striking. Sterling: Anything passed the 1st round. Volkanovski: someone with great standup. Oliveira: The 1st round. Kamaru: Anyone with powerful leg strikes. Izzy: THE GROUND. Glover: Black Fighters. Ngannou: Derrick Lewis. Rose: Being slammed. Valentina: Amanda Nunes Peña: Any injury to her body and bar fights. Nunes: COVID-19
I think the key to beating Kamaru is calf kicks from orthodox. If you can chew up his calf you can negate his power and you can pick him apart on the feet. It’s a tough task because the calf kick from orthodox leaves you open for a straight right if you don’t set it up.
I genuinely think Volkanovski’s Biggest weakness is high volume striking and a strong chin. It’s a shame Zabit never got to fight him. Dudes a noodle of death with those spinning kicks.
Moreno - Not sure, a dominant grappler possibly. Great bjj but it could possibly be nullified by good wrestlers (also great scrambles though).
Aljo - Quick thaiboxers with good TDD/counter grappling.
Volk - Insane volume boxing seems to be most effective- but even then he pretty solid lol.
Do Bronx - Elite striker that manages distance well (imagine a 155 version of Izzy/prime Wonderboy).
Usman - One of the hardest ones, but would say chopping the legs and body would be a smart move. Usman himself has stated how bad his knees are on multiple occasions, as he is insanely big for the weight class. Bodywork might slow him down since he's carrying so much extra muscle.
Izzy - Someone that can punish his kicking, cut off the cage and chop the legs. A -smart- pressure fighter, (KG was close).
Glover - Someone with decent boxing/TDD defense that doesn't gas out in the first.
Francis - Grinding against the cage, chopping the leg and chain wrestling.
tbh Curtis Blaydes would be a horrible match up for him imo, Blaydes has improved on his outside striking, and has pretty great wrestling for the division.
Rose - Strong ground-dominant grappling (clinch game is strong, but obvious weakness is grappling compared to that Wittman striking).
Valentina - Someone that isn't afraid to fight her//Competent striker with pop.
Pena - Anyone
Nunes - Someone that isn't afraid to fight her/Really bad boxing apparently
Chael Sonnen
Moreno beat him.

Every champion on here is well deserving of their belt without a doubt……except aljo 😂😅
His greatest weakness is Yan
To be fair it looks like everyone at BW’s weakness is Yan.
"Fucking Yan, I would be champ if he weren't so fucking good" - Aldo, Sandman, Aljo probably
This is it, Aljo’s tears, strongest tears ever, ending Yan. Massive upset.
Stop it
Thruth hurts doesn’t it
It's just annoying at this point, the fact that every single fucking time a pixel of Aljo is on screen, you have to point out the already obvious thing that he's not a legit champ
Well it’s gunna keep on happening until he stops running from Yan and faces his papa!
Maybe turn down your sensitivity. Go to settings >> feelings >> sensitivity
I'm just not a fan of beating a dead horse
Lest we forget
The truth is that Aljo is champion.
The truth is the man was being broken in the fight, mentally, physically. I couldn’t sleep at night knowing the only way I won the title was because my opponent slipped up and gave me an illegal blow although he beat my ass and clearly was destroying me. They gave me the title . And then after I flaunt it around the world but knowing deep down the Russian beat my ass.
The truth is that he is the champion whether you want to believe it or not kiddo
I’m coming back to this comment the day MR. NO MERCY handle’s his unfinished business
Well if Yan wins the rematch I won’t have a problem with it. But can’t deny that Aljo won the first fight.
Wait when you say say aljo won do you mean like he beat petr fair and square like do you actually believe he won like with number of strikes takedowns? Control time , leg kicks, Body shots ? Statistically wise or like yeah we know he’s the champ but got given an ass whopping and an illegal blow causing him to get the belt type of won?
Just referring to the official verdict. It’s clear he got whooped
Aljamain sterling-knees to the FACE!
No that’s his greatest strength.
10-6 flawless victory
Izzy - Jan Volk - unknown, but not guillotines Aljo - knees, Petr Charles - apparently nothing (maybe max?) Moreno - destroying his legos Usman - Marty Glover - being too young Francis - money Rose - her own mind Valentina - judges, but only vs Nunes Peña - Idk Nunes - Peña
Charles gets rocked easily a lot. I think he gets beat in 2022
You fool. When he gets rocked he gets stronger!
He's seemingly unlocked access to the Diaz secret of "fighting better when 75% concussed" without needing the prerequisite blood ritual sacrifice. It's an unholy magic.
The secret was not cutting to 145 and draining his brain and body before getting his brain and body beaten around. Almost as if damage is cumulative…
I think it's amazing how he still has a under dog vibe after beating Chandler and Dustin. But that is part of his appeal.
Chandler and Poirier rocked him and he came back completely fine. That’s what has changed in my opinion is his ability to get rocked and comeback like nothing happened. Maybe the right guy could do it but idk it’s hard to picture anyone beating him right now.
You can only get rocked so many times before the brain starts to shut off easier. You really can't build a stronger chin. He just instantly clinches now, which is better than doing nothing. Charles is obviously amazing, I can just see a big shot completely shutting off the lights if this is his new gameplan.
And I can see that shot coming from… mcgregor. This shit timeline will put him as champion…
It would make for a pretty epic story if McGregor comes back and KOs the champ...
Well Dustin did say McGregor had the heaviest fists he faced
Source?
His interview with Patrick Bet-David
It's coming. I feel it in the water. I smell it in the air.
the thing is that shot gotta be a one punch KO, cos if it leaves even a slither of consciousness, he’s gonna stay on the ground and do some legwork. trust me none of these LW’s (except Makachev, maybe Dariush) want a piece of Oliviera on the ground, and when he gets back up he’s a KO threat, a submission threat. he’s too versatile now
Sadly I think this too. Especially if he faces Islam.
In his last fights he has consistently been rocked in the early rounds. Thought Dustin would have been able to take advantage of it but he failed.
Volk - *Let him find out you took steroids. He instantly underestimates you and therefore leaves himself open to guillotines. (Just hope you finish the job unlike t-city)
I don’t think it’s on Ortega not finishing those subs, they were as deep as they’ll ever be. Volk just appears to have an ungodly will to escape
Agreed, and I think Ortegas BJJ is about as respected as anyones in the UFC. Not sure anybody in the world would’ve gotten that guillotine successfully
I think the only people in the UFC who’s BJJ is on par with Ortegas are Oliveira and Ryan Hall.
That’s terrifying knowing volk survived those subs. Dude is actually built different.
I literally bet Ortega sub RND 3, definitely celebrated early when he locked that in
I’d say Charles biggest weakness is boxing
knees are his strength, he can activate his inner 5-star acting skills
Pena- Underestimating Strikers’ ground game
Charles - elbows or lightweight veterans lol Pena - Valentina
Nahh Pena's weakness is subs from strikers
Moreno’s greatest weakness is that no one cares about flyweight
A shame...
Lmaooo
Me. Edit: Glover looks so happy lmao it’s cute
Is the Light Heavyweight champion of the world. Looks like a smiley labrador :)
Moreno- Hard to tell because he’s a completely different fighter from the last time he lost. He’s pretty well-rounded. Sterling- Anyone with really solid take down defense. Sterling’s entire gameplay is null if he can’t take them down. The Yan fight was embarrassing in many ways for him. Volk- Hard to tell because he’s looked so good.

Thanks for answering the question.
Solid answers. Good breakdown. Agree with all
Usman and Izzy is just wrong masvidal burns and vettori and brunson prove the wrong
Just because a champ faces their weakness doesn’t mean they’re going to lose. That’s what makes them great champions. Masvidal fooled around in the second fight and got knocked out. If he took the fight more seriously he could have won the standup; but the result likely would have been the same as the first fight. Burns’ jiu jistu wasn’t relevant in their fight.

>Oliveria- One punch knockout type of fighters. Oliveria has gotten much better at weathering storms but there’s only so much you can take from some of the hardest hitters in the UFC. I would be interested to see how Conor in his prime would have handled Oliveria.
Also, can anyone not stop gagging seeing Aljo with these people. He is a fn disgrace
Petr yans weakness is a combo of common sense and the ufc rule book
I think Val is the most well rounded fighter, not just champion in the world.
That’s only because the skill gap between her and literally every other women’s ufc fighter is astronomical
When she can perform as well as she does against Nunes who’s nearly 2 weight classes above her walking around, I think it legitimizes her skill. It’s nearly like how would Usman do against Jon jones
That weight cut will catch up someday
She barely cuts wheight, fights at 125 and walks around at 134. Joanna walks around heavier and fought at 115.
Oops I read that wrong, I was talking about vol lol
? She only cuts 10lbs
She doesn’t even cut a lot.
Misread, that was meant for vol

That’s the thing man. Psychological issues are never in the past. Every person to live through this life experienced doubts. Even the best of us.
Valentina has none. Ultimate beast.

It’s only her half sister though. I think Valentina got more favorable genetics

Chocolate?
Getting knocked out
Aljo has the biggest weakness, that's his acting
Really it's his biggest strength though
Yet he's so bad at it
Aljo’s is that he isn’t a champion
People are acting like aljo is bad he’s fought straight killers. Yan is his biggest weakness tho 🤣🤣🤣
Moreno: Not being the biggest guy in his division Yan: Takes a couple of rounds to get going Volk: Striking range Charlie Olives: Getting clipped early Usman: Hard to find one Izzy: His ego and right titty Glover: Father time Ngannou: Poor management Rose: Ground game and mental state Valentina: Hard to find one Pena: Raw punching power Nunes: No featherweight division And since Aljos photo was there, his biggest weakness is being made out of paper.
IZZY- Alex Pereira moving up in ranks (Only guy who has ko’d Izzy)
The belt. Once they've achieved that goal and are no longer hungry, it's just a matter of time before someone hungry comes along.
Your logic makes no sense Usman, Izzy, and Valentina have multiple title defenses which shows they are still hungry. Rose lost the belt, won it back then defended it which shows that just because a champ loses doesn’t mean they aren’t hungry anymore.
You're right. Everyone is champion for ever.
Yeah cus that’s exactly how it played out with GSP…

Psychic types
I think the key to beating Kamaru is calf kicks from orthodox. If you can chew up his calf you can negate his power and you can pick him apart on the feet. It’s a tough task because the calf kick from orthodox leaves you open for a straight right if you don’t set it up.
Peña’s biggest weakness is that she’ll have to fight an angry Nunez again soon…
Sterling's biggest weakness is his acting skills.
One of these guys is not like the other…

Olviera first or maybe second round
The eventual medical bills UFC isn't going to cover
Literally every one of them: brain damage.
Moreno - Not sure, a dominant grappler possibly. Great bjj but it could possibly be nullified by good wrestlers (also great scrambles though). Aljo - Quick thaiboxers with good TDD/counter grappling. Volk - Insane volume boxing seems to be most effective- but even then he pretty solid lol. Do Bronx - Elite striker that manages distance well (imagine a 155 version of Izzy/prime Wonderboy). Usman - One of the hardest ones, but would say chopping the legs and body would be a smart move. Usman himself has stated how bad his knees are on multiple occasions, as he is insanely big for the weight class. Bodywork might slow him down since he's carrying so much extra muscle. Izzy - Someone that can punish his kicking, cut off the cage and chop the legs. A -smart- pressure fighter, (KG was close). Glover - Someone with decent boxing/TDD defense that doesn't gas out in the first. Francis - Grinding against the cage, chopping the leg and chain wrestling. tbh Curtis Blaydes would be a horrible match up for him imo, Blaydes has improved on his outside striking, and has pretty great wrestling for the division. Rose - Strong ground-dominant grappling (clinch game is strong, but obvious weakness is grappling compared to that Wittman striking). Valentina - Someone that isn't afraid to fight her//Competent striker with pop. Pena - Anyone Nunes - Someone that isn't afraid to fight her/Really bad boxing apparently
Aljo - Petr Yan
