MMA Fighters With Zero Stand Up Skills

i cant recall seeing anyone worse then him..

saw his fight on a wec card, against some jj fighter, he was gettting blasted when standing, but the jj guy just lacked a little power and stamina to win..

impressive he won rosholt, but that is by far, the worst ive seen in from any fighter, when talking higher level of mma..

 

If you understand BJJ or submissions then Royce Gracie isnt boring to watch, I think he actually makes the best of his slight frame, he is never gonna be a hard striker even if he started when he was 3, he is not built for striking, thank Royce & his family we have MMA as it is today.

 

Paulo Filho doesn't have great striking neither does Wallid Ismail.

 

He aint built for striking??

There are a million skinny or not so built guys who can punch very hard..

Watch abit of boxing from the past 100years and u will witness it.

 

Why would he "attempt a little standup"?

The fact that Royce didn't need any striking says more about the value of striking and the mentality of people like you than it does about Royce.

Which fights of Roycea were boring? Almost all of his early fights ended fairly quickly and with a submission; the only boring one really was Shamrock 2, which was really only boring because Ken knew there was a time limit and fought for the draw.

 

Akebono.

Giant Silva.

Matt Hughes.

 

Yea but Ismail hasn't fought in like 8 or 9 years. He was fighting in a period where stand-up was just starting to evolve, plus he holds victories over Royce, Renzo , Ryan and another one of those Gracies in straight BJJ tournament matches under Gracie rules. So I like the guy, hahaha.


Royce getting choked out cold!

Not only did Wallid not have standup, he didn't have anywhere near as good of a guard as the rest of his game.

Pretty amazing, he did all he did with basically just a world class top game.
