Damn, these are some of the best breakdowns I have ever seen. I love BJJ, don't get me wrong. But a lot of the channels don't delve on the MMA-wrestling scrambles like this. This guy needs to work for a big network so they actually have more people who can break it down like this. Hearing the likes of Stephen A, Skip, or Cowherd try and talk about MMA is just painful.
lol Brunson is short and all the other wrestlers he’s fought against are nowhere near a weidman or rockhold. He’ll get toy’d with on the ground. He’s a kickboxing SPECIALIST and specialists always end up getting beat eventually.
You can also tell Luke doesn’t know much about wrestling lol
What if he fights yoel I don't think he'll have any problem taking him down
The kid is phenomenal… Absolutely phenomenal. Go back and check out his kick boxing highlights. I don't know what would happen if he faces an extremely great wrestler… But if he can finish any fight on his feet, that's where he excels…. Striking and kicking. If he loses any match to a great wrestler, then at least hes not eating a head kick or punch while suffering the knockout that seems to zap any fighters soul, little by little.

Great, so Herb Dean went from not wanting to cut the flow of the fight in the Khabib vs Conor bout when Conor was grabbing Khabib's shorts to stop the fight and make them reset here. Great, so consistent.
Great video Luke.
This is my favorite Luke
Keep up the good work Luke.
Stop saying he can beat Jon Jones, Jones is probably 30 lbs heavier than him when he step in the octagon
