That Gadzhi guy was ass. His undefeated record means jack****, it was padded as hell. Muradov has very good tdd. Even against gerald he defended like 7-8 takedowns

Caio also only notched one takedown in the Gadzhi fight and his other takedowns are against Armen petrosyan who has absolutely 0 takedown defense. Caio stands a very good chance at winning this but I’m just saying muradov is not an easy guy to takedown. Just because Gerald did it doesn’t mean Caio is gonna be able to

Lmao most undefeated russians are **** with padded records, and the ones that aren't are really good with padded records. Also there's Renat Khavalov who went "hmm nah I'll take out a bunch of my own kind" and has fought like three 7-0 guys in a row. Anyway after watching a bit of tape on Muradov, yeah he's way better than Omargadzhiev

Ya Ik, just Gadzhi is a complete fraud. No undefeated Russian with a wrestling background gets ****d that badly for three rounds. He looked like an amatuer in there 

Muradov last fight was horrible but let’s not forget he’s one of the best unranked 185ers there is. Leaning Caio atm but that may change

Eh I mean he didn't get "****d" by just any random ass bum, Caio is something special. I assume most people would get outgrappled by him

I feel like Caio is gonna get exposed eventually. He’s a beast but someone will find a way to beat him, I think someone like Dricus or Robocop sleeps him

@drchaotic no, I know, Caio is very good but you dont get beaten like that unless there is a SERIOUS disparity in skill level. Aaron Jeffery is a very solid fighter, probably could be around top 25-30 in ufcs 185 division and he put up a good fight. Hell, armen petrosyan has zero ground game and put up a better performance than gadzhi did. Gadzhi is a very bad fighter tbh and Caio is good, but he gets very hyped up because of that performance. Im sure muradov would have sparked gadzhi in under a minute if they fought

@JR Opinions differ, I think Dricus’s defensive grappling and striking would win him a tough fight. When they do fight down the line it’s gonna be sick though

Dricus got into the rankings with the Tavares win. It’s gonna only be tough fights from here, it’s hard to say if he makes it much farther but one thing about Dricus is that he is very mentally tough

It’s what is gonna help him when he’s got guys in front of him who are technically superior like Caio

Out of all the guys at LW, I think Gamrot has the best chance of beating Islam one day in the near future.  Gamrot proved in his last fight that he can hang with those Caucasus boys when it comes to wrestling.  He also has a great gas tank to go 5 rounds and has power in his hands as well as good BJJ.  

I think Islam wins here against Oliveira but Gamrot should be the one to dethrone him if/when they ever fight in the next two years for the belt.  Gamrot should win here against Dariush and he is technically undefeated, I watched that fight with Guram, it was one of those special "decisions" that we see often.

Wrong. Very close fight. imo Guram absolutely deserved that decision (as well as the Ismagulov one). Doesn't mean he's better than Gamrot but definitely on the same level. Same with Ismagulov and Tsarukyan. To say any of the 4 is better is ignoring the evidence. Gamrot/Tsarukyan was closer than Guram/Ismagulov I thought. Either could've won but Gamrot seemed to finish stronger. But the main reason you're wrong is clearly you're ASSUMING Islam will beat Charles or not lose to someone else. Never forget Adriano Martins (who Cowboy KOed)
