He had a real coach who trained him from a young age, built him up and would adjust his gameplan and training strategy for every fight. Robert Follis committed suicide 18 months ago.
He's 26 my guy. He 100% does not have a top flight MMA coach, not even close. How long he's been taught by X doesn't matter. You cannot get by on 1 or 1.5 skills in 2019, just not gonna happen. If you're talking about Cooper or anyone at current XCT then it's not just the facts. Which sucks because you can clearly see the talent with their fighters. And yeah, Follis was a huge hit, just look at Sam Stout and co, shits rough.
If he ain't done it yet, after 15 UFC fights, after being so close to championship opportunities, im not sure why anybody would think he'd ever have that discipline. Athleticism goes quicker than you think sometimes.
Eh, you can't say that as you can clearly see the talent in his fights, he just can't put it all together. He needs a top flight coach, he's 100% being hindered. Look at his contender fights, this and Ferguson, he looked great in both, but the same things happened in both. Dude needs a big change, he needs a Tito or Bobby Knuckles type change to bring his strengths out vs just relying on what he's got.
Also he needs to take some fucking time off and acclimate to 155 100%, dunno wtf he's thinking running at 170, he has no future there at the highest level.
