Niko Price
Vicente Luque
Geoff Neal
Meh. They're bangers. But, if they disappeared tomorrow, they'll get replaced by more bangers. Thompson, Adesanya, and Mcgregor are a special class of striker. Thompson and Adesanya have been in boring fights, but that's trumped but what they can do.

Man, Mcgregor is too mainstream for you MMA hipsters?
@flyingYeh, like I guess Forrest and Bonnar was "entertaining". That's unfair for Neal and Luque, I guess. Neals got the crisp boxing, and Luque is tough with his "catch and pitch" style. Niko is Forrest level. But...Like I said. Adesanya, Thompson, Mcgregor are talents you might see a few times each generation.

You have a point jm I rather enjoy the arguments.
Sadly cant compare anyone to Forrest he was a big, goofy guy, no power, no chin, amazing cardio and recovery.
Vin has power chin, he is a brawler if you are just over generalizing.
Niko is just fun he doesn't seem very skilled to me lanky spaz
I await more data on Neal he is very highly touted on here though.
Stephen is Way too 1 dimensional, top tier striker but karate not a safe method.
I want to see Ray Daniels fight real competition he is maybe the best Karate guy in mma. "or alive"

I'd say Forrest is to Luque, as Silva is to Adesanya. But, to each his own. I like my bloodsport less bloody.
BTW, to all Adesanya haters. Got some bad news! Unless something has changed again.

Well Dana’s gotta protect that golden-goose and not put Adesanya at a disadvantage with the Apex octagon.
Funny how he plays favorites.

Some up Cerrone's career in three words
Not Good Enough
***********ing drunk has bellator written all over him for ten years now. Why does the ufc keep him you ask? Because he's a "company" man who takes a dive when he's told too. Hope price kills him in the ring and his grandma has a heart attack in the stands and his wife drops the baby.
**** I hate that guy. Pretends to be a nice guy but he's an arrogant ******* in real life. Just look up fighters telling stories about him and you'll see.
