Eblen and Whittaker the most well rounded elite middleweights

Eblen destroys every middleweight in the UFC?  No... he would get destroyed by both Khamzat and Whittaker.  Marvin Vettori could beat him too.  If he can't execute his wrestling then he is screwed.

If the fight goes to round 3 Eblen probably KOs khamzat

Eblen's better than Vettori in every aspect.

Khamzat would **** Eblen lmfao get real guys. Eblen is defiitely a top 10 middleweight worldwide, but he gets ****d by Whittaker, destroyed by Khamzat, and probably KO'ed by Adesanya or Pereira, though tbh that matchup is more 50/50 (which is insane considering they're the 2 "top guys" right now)

I think he’s competitive with all the guys mentioned except Vettori maybe.

I would pick Khamzat but it’d get rough after 2 rounds

Eblen is fast and athletic enough that he could hang with any of them. I give him at least a shot at beating anyone. He has wrestling, fast hands, striking defense, cardio... we haven't seen him on his back, but hes wrestling is right up there with the best mws

Are you saying he destroys Vettori or are you the only person on Earth that thinks Vettori is somehow his kryptonite?

Vettori 10-7s him in every round… kidding obviously. I think Vettori is a tier below the top guys.
