Sorry for the late comment. I was on the road travelling.

@BerryBoiii and @CanadianOracle

I would say the same for Alvarez though. He might not be chinny as Gaethje (for now), but he could recover from fights from getting stanky-legged.

I honestly don't want Jackson-Wink to stop keeping old timers like Overeem alive because now JW camp is like a place where old fighters go to get some second wind. That ain't good for their reputation really as old dighters are gonna lose most of the time.. cough cough.. Hendricks, Arlovski.

About the Kung Fu argument from Bisping vs Gastelum for CanadianOracle:

It's all about time and situation really. Chinese styles were more about weapons and while Chinese style didn't evolve in CQC aspects with grappling, Japanese improved their ground fighting game because of the difference between soldiers used in wars. Chinese soldiers are mostly peasants with very little formal training while Japanese soldiers are mostly breeded specifically for wars with shoguns. Shoguns were well equipped and armoured so when in CQC they will take people down and joint-lock or pin them down to stab. And no they did not fight using Katanas like in movies, those were just for 1 on 1 duels. Japan also outlawed weapon usage at some point in the past that also helped their evolution of their hand to hand styles.

Ok man. MMA can beat other styles unless you play their game like Mac did with Mayweather. Not to mention, karate guys, especially Kyokushin stylists are tough as nails and they can kick your head from punch/clinch range.. so yeah don't get too cocky I guess.
