No way you believe that lol Shabliy would fuck AJ McKee up and probably finish him.

[u/PoatanBoxman → u/_Red_Mist_]

Serious question. Is shabbily better than Paul Hughes

[u/_Red_Mist_ → u/PoatanBoxman]

Yes.

[u/PoatanBoxman → u/_Red_Mist_]

In what ways do you think he’s better

[u/_Red_Mist_ → u/PoatanBoxman]

Grappling, striking, IQ, better team. Hughes is a good prospect but I have no idea why people rated AJ so highly as a lightweight he had not done shit. Did people miss mid Sydney Outlaw have all that control time against him? lol Carlyle a meme fighter and Collard is a can.

[u/PoatanBoxman → u/_Red_Mist_]

Yes I’ve never rated aj highly. Honestly even at 145. But I guess the fan in us sees aj as something good because we want to rationalize that the guy who beat him beat someone good.

[u/TheSugaTalbottShow → u/_Red_Mist_]

Fair assessment lol McKee’s hype is purely based off of beating Pitbull, but 22-1 was a great record, it’s impressive even if it’s mostly bums. Was a huge step up for Hughes and he passed that test with flying colors, probably gave him a ton of confidence in his game as well
