[The Infamous]

I just find it so funny how every1 is sipping the UFC promo kool aid and actually thinking Rumble Johnson is some big heavy puncher and knock out machine. he headbutt Gus, that wasn't some big 1 shot knock out.

When i look at Johnson's record I dont see 1 impressive knock out. half his fights he was fighting guys at 170, and at lhw hes knocked out who, old man nog? mike kyle? oh yeah i forgot dj linderman. This is just dana and the ufc trying to hype up someone to fight Bones and make some money as really after Gus there is no1 at lhw at this moment that can really challenge for the belt.

The punch caused the knockdown.

Rumble has the best KO power in the LHW division. If he's hype, then name better KO artists in his division.

The Gus KO is impressive. Rumble handed Lil Nog his second finish ever (27 fight career, without getting KO'd by likes of Overeem x2, Shogun & Hendo). Yes, Lil Nog was on the decline, but that's still a pretty good accomplishment for Rumble imo And Lil Nog was fresh off a win against Rashad.

DC has KO power. he's KO'd guys at HW

Not better than Rumble.

So in anthony johnson's whole career his most impressive KO is over a guy past his prime who never was a champ in lil nog. I'm not saying DC is some amazing KO king, but ko'ing a true heavyweight in big foot is still more impressive imo.

Gus got a headbutt, i'm not sure if any of you guys have taken a headbutt before, but it would leave you more vulnerable/susceptible for a KO. Anthony Johnson is not some big KO guy, sorry. mike kyle and old man lil nog are not something to brag about.

easy, old man dan henderson. hendo has dropped more fighters and better fighters than johnson ever has facts. Wandy in his prime alone is better than any KO on johnsons record. if u wanna say old man lil nog, then i say a past prime fedor or even a past prime shogun.

Better KO power right now. Let's see the list.
And all you could up with is 1 name?

His most impressive KO is Gus. The punch clearly landed before the head butt and caused the majority of the damage. The punch started it all.

Rumble's KO power > DC's

Rumble has a much better KO percentage than DC (68% vs 40%).

DC has 1 good KO, that's it. His next best KO is coffee shop employee of the month Patrick Cummins. KOs over Lil Nog & Gus > a KO over Bigfoot

From memory, Cormier had no issue getting inside on Jones.

I'm not gonna lie, I didn't expect him to get inside on Jones like how he did. Shows you how good he is.

That's what I'm saying. Usually Jones is very good at keeping distance, but DC just waltzed inside like it was nothing.

Rumble has some sick kicks too Arguably the best in the LHW division.

That left head kick by Rumble.

Wasn't super clean on Gus, but still

That left head kick by Rumble.

He landed it on Gus too, but I can't find a gif for some reason.

I don't know which head kick you're talking about, so I made a gif of all three:

Does Rumble throw any right high kicks?

fukking pity he didn't keep it up. Those uppercuts had me flying off my seat until he faded.
He would've been a dominant champ too

Eduardo sees Shogun vs. Bisping on stage in Brazil

The manager and coach also spoke about the prospects for the return of Demian Maia in the Octagon - the interview was granted before the fight announcement between Demian and Ryan LaFlare in Rio de Janeiro - the expectation for the TUF Brazil 4, which will Shogun and Anderson Silva as coaches, and revealed he would like the final of reality had both on the main card, including suggesting a clash in married weight between Shogun and Michael Bisping.
