Sorry Ayy. Barnaoui is absolute trash.

His striking is horrible. And his grappling is nothing special. He looks awful to me

He wins this fight because Primus quit. But his striking is school yard level. Could barely land on a completely gassed Primus. Missing almost every shot he threw. God awful

Also Barnaoui. Zero leg or body kicks. Zero body punches.

He used to have giggler sweeps that he’d hit on everyone. No clue why he’s only hit one. He was hitting them on islam with ease

Barnoui is getting some holes exposed for sure. Primus also looks better than he ever has!

Yes, against Islam and Mateus on the clinch Mansour looked on point, here looks like a guy who lost a lot of momentum due to the 4 years layoff.

I think I have rarely been this dissapointed in someone not living up to the hype. But it's Bellator. Should have known

Watching Barnaoui waste the potential ko on the feet and choose to go to the ground, only to end up being a mattress for Primus, might be the craziest choice I've seen since Gane's sub attempt in rd5.
