Also makes 0 sense to call someone who is at the beginning of their pro career a can crusher.. you think they're going to feed you the best from the start? What a dumb claim 😴

his opponents as a pro are a combined 18-16-2 lol thats pretty ****** comp. I could name many other guys who are 5-0 fighting better competition. Yeah barberena has 0 ground game but who's gonna say weeks can attack grappling for three rounds on 5 days notice? Hes a finisher so who knows how his cardio holds up (amateur fights dont count because of 3 minute rounds). Plus hes never fought a striker as credentialed as barberena

We'll see. Barberna is the real can crusher. All them pro bouts and not one mentionable name.

How is barberna a credentialed striker when he absorbs just as much as he throws? Lol.

yeah but just look at his experience alone. Barberena reminds me of smolka in that he cant beat anyone good but loses to good guys (not including Witt)

I mean his striking is better than anyone weeks has faced thus far. Hes got a positive striking differential so I dont know where this notion of getting hit as much as he puts out comes from.

Weeks isn't a can crusher. He fought some of the best amateur prospects in IMMAF. Surprised they signed him this early but he's legit.

yeah but amateur prospect and legit fighter is a very different things. Just because someone has potential doesn't mean they're legit yet. And like I said, amateur is very different from fighting professionals; yeah, it helps with experience and helping develop your skill set, but you're not fighting professional fighters

plus its the amateurs, Taylor Guardado has a win over Raquel Pennington in amateurs, but would she beat her in the ufc? No.

Amateurs is not the professional game of course I agree with that but to say he's a can crusher which alludes to the fact he hasn't been tested is wrong. Has he been tested as much as an LFA champ? Nah but he's gotten in there with fighters at his skill level and experienced losses and adversity which can crushers have not. I personally picked him, thought Bam Bam looked real rough last time out.

Weeks has faced professional boxers.. lol , barberna isn't a crisp boxer , his stand up is lobbed hooks and no guard. We'll see. You guys are giving barberna way too much credit. Lmao

I agree that he looked **** but I just cant reasonably pick an unproven guy taking a short notice fight when his last fight was against a fighter with a losing record

Barberna has 6/10 stand up and a 2/10 wrestling. Darian will out work em and barberna will be cut from the UFC.
