but it takes a good amount of skill to do all of this at the highest levels given what opponents can do to counterattack. I don't think he'll ever beat Usman to become champion unless he adds some submissions into his gameplan since it appears he doesn't have serious striking power, but he does have talent. As much as I personally can't stand his persona, you have to separate the persona from the actual skills he brings to fighting, or at least I do on some level.
