It's too bad for Kron that he's so focused only on his BJJ, he has toughness: Gracie can take body shots like nothing (in Swanson's words, he couldn't believe how Kron took so many body shots in their fight without losing the pace). ) and he has a really good jaw (he was caught multiple times without stance and don't be rocked), but his striking is nothing, his wrestling is nothing and don't have a really good fight IQ his chance is to get top position at the start of the fight and impose his BJJ elite.
Kron never bothered to make the transition to MMA as for example if he tried to do Rodolfo Vieira, it is also well known that Kron (and a large part of the Gracie family) has a very particular character (not to say cretinous and stubborn) so that it is notorious that his little growth as MMA Fighters is something of his own. The truth is that I liked the way Kron fought in Rizin and his first victory against Caceres was an excellent debut, but he is only to blame for his 2-fight losing streak in the UFC.
