Yeah and we have all see how good all these new breeds are all around. JDS for example hates grappling and someone like Brock just hates getting punched. Has Cain even got ONE submission win? MMA has devolved intro jab wrestlers.
A younger, hungrier, faster, more powerful, younger James Toney would have been better. Credentials in MMA or in Judo? If a 7-2 isnt good then many UFC fighters wont be good fighters. Also look at two of his submission losses, getting submitted against those two isnt shameful. Wrestle jabbers with no cardio and little ringmanship prefer the cage.
The modern mma fighters is harder all roudn to beat but alot are lacking in the core skills that the k1, olympic guys had so if you have a tgood all around game the more well rounded guy is actually and easier fight imo.
I don't care how young Toney would have been. A win over him means next to nothing in mma, because he has done nothing in mma. Let's look at Ogawa's resume. Out of Ogawa's 7 victories, 6 of those opponents combine for a record of 3-21. The other win was against Gary Goodridge. So I'm sticking with my opinion of Ogawa not doing much in mma. For a quick comparison, your boy Brock's 5 wins came over opponent's that combine for a record of 78-40. In fact, Lesnar's debut was against a guy that was 3-7. Hell, that guy has as many wins as 6 of Ogawa's 7 opponents with only 1/3rd of the losses.
