naw...you might be overrating his power a little bit. it's good but not great.. he still hasn't evolved past being the brit with a good left hook. How old is this guy anyway?

And his chin.....maybe it's cause the first time I watched him was the diaz fight but :snoop:

Lombard can easily wrestlefukk daley if things get bad for him

Condit is too technical for him

Robbie would KO him no questions asked he's stood in front of guys with more power

26 out of his 35 wins (74%) have come via KO. That's higher than Rumble's and bunch of other fighter's percentages (not saying he has more power). His left hook is his signature strike, but he has power in both hands. Plus, he has solid knees. He does rely a little too heavily on his left hook though.

Daley's 31 and hasn't taken much damage. Still in his prime.

In 50 fights, he's been (t)KO'd only once. The other fight he lost via TKO was because he dislocated his thumb and the doctor called the fight off. He has a great chin.

I think he has a decent chance against Lombard. Like I said, I would take Condit over him, but it would closer than you think.

Who has Robbie faced with more power? Manhoef is one. Ellenberger is arguable. Brown is arguable (although I would take Daley). I would take Daley over Hendricks in terms of power too.

I'd definitely favor Robbie in a fight, all I'm saying is that Daley has the power to pull off a major upset.

He's been fighting B and C tier competition most of his career so lets chill with the statistics

Hold up you think Daley has more power than Hendricks? Ellenberger and Brown are argueable but Hendricks aint?:bryan: idk what you basing this off

Before re-joining the UFC, you could've said the same about Rumble. You could say the same for practically any non-UFC fighter.

Any way you look at it, a 74% KO rate is impressive.

Hendricks power is just from his looping overhand left. Ellenberger, Daley, and to a lesser extent Brown are more versatile, technical and consistent with their power in my opinion.

no. we're comparing UFC fighters vs Daley who built those stats up on non UFC fighters. The divide is wide....I mean he was never even strikeforce champ. Rumble is a bad example cause his career was fukked up from weight cutting and side issues

.power is power you either got it or you don't. How well they can deliver on that power comes down to their technique. Ellenberger has average power. brown solidly above average. Daley is at good somewhat less than Robbie.

but guys like Henderick has elite tier power for his division, comparable to Hendo, Big Country, JDS, chuck, rampage



everything you said is true in its own way tho

Some notes from the post-fight pressor:

- Anderson is seriously considering retirement.
- Gus and Cormier both have fights lined up. Not against each other though.
- Rashad is injured.
- Dana said that Vitor was hitting up his phone a lot looking to still fight on the 184 card. Dana then offered him Machida for an interm title fight (Machida agreed), but Vitor turned down the fight.
