I can't believe you actually managed to find a weakness for Anthony 'Lionheart' Smith. This dude is hands down one of the greatest to ever do it (on paper). No notable flaws, individually though if you take away his skills, he's not that good but when he mixes his martial arts is he a true problem.
I believe that Khamzat just needs to slow his pace down. The pace at which he starts is unbelievable. This is not wrestling, it’s not just a 7 minute match. He is starting with an intense pace that he cannot keep up. This is just a theory. I don’t think he has the Conor effect where his body type/fast twitch fiber is the issue. But again, it is just a theory
Title Fight Showdown: Marty Louis vs. Israel Adesanya The stage is set for an unprecedented matchup between the boxing world champion Marty Louis and the UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya. The bout is a special exhibition match, blending the rules of both sports. The fight takes place in a custom-designed arena where a boxing ring is surrounded by a modified octagon. Round 1: The Feeling Out Process Marty Louis, known for his lightning-fast jabs and impeccable footwork, starts the round cautiously, trying to gauge Adesanya's movements. Adesanya, a master of striking in MMA, utilizes his diverse skill set, throwing a mix of kicks and punches. Louis, however, adapts quickly, using his boxing experience to slip and counter effectively. Round 2: Louis's Precision Striking As the rounds progress, Marty Louis capitalizes on his boxing expertise. His precision and timing allow him to land crisp combinations, exploiting the limitations of Adesanya's striking defense. Louis connects with powerful hooks and uppercuts, keeping Adesanya on the back foot. Round 3: Adesanya's Adaptation Adesanya, known for his adaptability in the octagon, starts adjusting his strategy. He begins incorporating his grappling skills, attempting takedowns and clinches to nullify Louis's boxing advantage. However, Louis's extensive training in preparation for this unique fight pays off, as he displays surprising defensive wrestling skills. Round 4: Louis's Defensive Mastery Marty Louis continues to control the stand-up exchanges, but Adesanya's versatility keeps the crowd on edge. Louis's defensive prowess shines as he skillfully avoids Adesanya's takedown attempts and maintains the distance. Adesanya, frustrated by the inability to take the fight to the ground, faces a challenge in finding an effective range. Round 5: The Grand Finale In the final round, both fighters showcase their resilience and determination. Adesanya, realizing he needs a decisive move, attempts a spectacular spinning kick. However, Marty Louis anticipates the move, ducks under, and delivers a thunderous overhand right, catching Adesanya off guard. The UFC champion is rocked, and Louis seizes the opportunity, unleashing a series of devastating hooks that ultimately lead to a knockout. The Aftermath Marty Louis is declared the winner in this unique crossover matchup, showcasing the supremacy of his boxing skills in a hybrid setting. The crowd erupts in awe, appreciating the extraordinary display of talent from both fighters.
That almost brought tears to my eyes thinking about Marty’s greatness and how they tried to erase him from history. RIP to the Late Great Marty Louis. That’s exactly how he’d beat Izzy too
@@San-oe1xv all three judges gave the nod to round 1 to Izzy 10-9 because Izzy controlled the pace more and landed the heavier shots. The second round would of went to Alex because of the leg kicks he landed that wobbled Izzy but he still got Knocked out with a left hook, straight combination then followed up with another straight, left hook then a heavy hammer fist to leave no doubt of him recovering. That was not what Cheick Congo did.
@@SPACEGAME-tf7drizzy was never good got slept by periera and until 1 lucky shot periera was dominated and barley got touched all sean did was follow alexs game plan only difference was izzy didnt fluke a ko this time
I Like you assessment of mma fighters, im an amateur mma fighter if i sent you my fights could you assess my weak points, id love to hear your opinion💯
Conor is apparently a black belt now. I don’t believe that Conor is that bad at grappling and I’ve always said that it just like everything else. Depends on how tired he is. If he starts getting any fatigue at all he completely forgets what he’s doing and can’t think and process so then he gets rag dolled. And I also agree that it’s because when things get hard he gives up. And wrestling is the hardest thing you will ever do in your life.
Yeah tiredness makes cowards of us all. His skill set is similar level to most top LWs but that’s not enough when some of them seemingly don’t get tired, or just have a scary and rare ability to maintain their mental fortitude even when exhausted. Off the top of my head, I’ve seen Poirier look wiped out a few times mid fight but just keep on going undeterred. Fighting him again once he was a seasoned LW was a huge miscalculation by Conor, he’s never winning that matchup no matter how many times they run it back.
If you’ve ever grappled you’ll understand the amount of energy wrestling the way khamzat does, he sprints when he fights and exhausts himself but for that first round he’s unbeatable, I wonder if a change in style would help him but I’m not sureb
Agreed, I don’t think a lot of people realize how taxing it is to wrestle at that pace and control someone for a whole 4 minutes. Especially someone like kamaru. That alone is all the proof needed of how solid of a grappler khamzat is.
Saying Conor has no grit after the Mendes fight, Khabib fight and both Diaz fights is crazy. Especially after he’s planning on coming back from snapping his leg in half
He didn’t say he can’t box he said his weakness is boxing, actually listen to the video bruh. Straightforward boxing with pressure always fucks him up, Jan Whittaker and Sean all just hit him with 1-2’s. It’s because he’s too cerebral, he cant brawl so when he fights people who don’t respect his kickboxing and don’t care about the feints and traps he has issues
Nah Bro That Arnold Allen one was wrong. His cardio looked bad before the Max fight but in the Max fight it looked pretty good but offcourse he won’t keep up with Max but he’d keep up with Topuria
Lucas why adesanya wasnt a dominant champion? He basically lapped the division. Beat vettori 2x, beat whittaker TWICE (koed him), he 50-45ed cannonier. I get that he can be boring, but he always controlled his opponents,, so why do you have to be this much of a hater bro. Still wondering wherre his "robberies wins" have been. Hope you make a video about it
I disagree on Arnold Allen being bad in 5 rounders. I think he's was starstruck by max holloway and mentally didn't give himself a chance to win until the end when he gave up restraint as a hail mary. He cried immediately because he knew he definitely didn't do everything he could have to win that night.
His cardio looked fine to me. He slowed down because he was wearing max's volume the same as every single one of max's opponents have. Had he thrown more volume, he would have forced max to defend more and would have gotten hit less as a result.
I love Anthony Smith but he’s just SO inconsistent. He can beat the best of ‘em on a good day. On a bad? Dude can’t fight his way out of a paper bag. Just makes no sense.
Congrats Adesanya for his amazing boxing and leg kicks defense, Conor for his grit, Smith for his leg kick defense, Khamzat for his cardio, Gaehtje for his Jiu Jitsu, Marvin Vetorri for his adjustments, Abus for his cardio, Omalley for his solid bones, Fiziev for his patience and cardio and Arnold for his excellent capability to fight 5 rounds
Lucas showing how he’s a “crafty veteran” of mma content with this new video, always coming up with creative vid ideas. I honestly think he’d have to “slip on a banana peel” to make a bad video 😂😂. Easily my favorite mma content creator, I love your content man, thank you
This type of content is something I appreciate more than most mma fans, as I am still fairly new to the sport (3 years now). In that time, however, I have developed understanding for it in so many ways. It’s content like this that adds to my library of knowledge , so I appreciate this tenfold Lucas. Extremely informative, balanced, and decisive without unnecessary telltale gimmicks. Quality content👌🏾 PS: what was the song playing in the background between the Gaethje - Vetorri segment?
Other fighter Achilles heels I’d like to include Kamaru Usman: Bad knees Colby Covington: His lack of power Gilbert Burns: Chinny to jabs Israel Adesanya: Boxing Cyril Gane: 0 Wrestling
Bro you are stupid lol, but I fucking love it, you have a funny tone to you…there’s a way you explain those strikes that just makes me laugh all day, keep it up bro…I see you being a big RU-vidr…people can actually listen to just you talk for 1hr and not skip a min…
