Machida and Silva both did their best work at 185lbs. They are not big guys cutting to 205. If I weigh in at 205 the day before per mma standards and fight the next night I am going to be 215 by the next night in the cage. Those guys are not that big. Again I do not believe being in the UFC makes them that much better than other fighters. Add in their age and style and size and yeah I have a good chance. I have real advantages over both of them. I would beat either of them easy on a wrestling grappling match I am the bigger stronger wrestler I can take them down and hold them. Can I take a punch if needed in the process I think I can. Now if I get crane kicked in the face that is different but again you guys said I was slow and plodding I was deliberate and careful I am not going to run into a flying kick to the face
Dude, you wouldn’t be able to beat machida’s dad right now who is around 70 years old or older
You have no shot at anyone in the UFC, whether current fighters, retired fighters, fighters past their prime, none , zero chance, and that includes grappling, wrestling, stand up, absolutely none
