Gokhan has no gas tank. He has to knock him out in the 1st or he is done.

I think he can still do it early second but you aint wrong...he fades with any grappling at all and at end of 5 minuter rounds

but man can he crack...what a wild man

He has gas. He said after his debut he was surprised at how he gassed but it's because he uses different muscle group in his movements compared to kickboxing and how he was gonna improve that. I believe him. Saki is a killing machine. I will bet on this fight, and I may attend the card if it is in europe

The ufc got bitched alot for this tweet the first time they announced this

Its probably true regardless because roundtrees grappling needs so much work id assume saki is better in the floor. The ufc is carefully picking matches for saki which i kinda like especially since his last fight he looked like he gassed hard prior to his ko win and i dont think he could have went 10+ more minutes. Roundtree gasses hard too and is alot slower

Saki ko rd2

Well what now? That fight fucked it up.

Is saki destined to be the next Joe shilling and get his ass kicked a few times or will he find a determination to succeed?

Can kickboxers transition. Aside from Mirko Dirk dirk

The weird thing is that he's technically 1-2. They have to give him an easy fight, because if he loses again, he'll be 1-3, and I don't think they'd want to announce him again.

Maybe they can feed him that Logan Paul guy? What's his weight class?

I'm sure that would be illegal. If not it should be

Yeah, but I think that is one of those things where law enforcement could all just turn a blind eye and let it happen for the greater good of society.

Kickboxing has a very thin talent pool. With that said, there are examples of sucessful transitions like Cro Cop, Mark Hunt and Adesanya so far. In most cases though I don't think it's bound to work. The things that make a striker great in kickboxing don't translate to mma.

There's no guessing to what a pure striker is going to do.. then the total fighter can close that striking gap by making the fight happen on their terms.. When a guy is worried about getting strangled he doesn't open up like he would in his natural environment.
