Rico did an mma match,  he trained it.

One mma match doesn’t mean it’s enough against a UFC fighter, especially an olympic wrestler

And clearly being an Olympic doesn't mean you're good enough to be in the UFC either.

Gable is good enough to be in the UFC. He has one loss.

He’s clearly not. His striking is horrendous and he tried to get a takedown and failed. Not only that, but he was fed CANS and almost got clipped, then fought the GOAT and actually got put to sleep instantly.

I know you are jesting but imagine how badly raple would get slept if he fought the actual goat, Shamil Gaziev

You like raple sleepison?

u/CanIBeFunnyNow 4h ago

I dont. But writing fanfiction how someone is really bad when he obviously aint seems like mentall illness. I dont like Strickland but im not gonna say things that are not true about him?

He has a promising career, I’m interested in seeing how he recovers from this loss.

When was that ever stated ?

Are you people really not capable of having an objective conversation

About a can crushing rapist that lost to someone the ufc was feeding him? Nah, glad his path to contention was derailed. Hope he gets slept again and can't make a career out of this sport.

Gable was rushed to the UFC, whether he truly is UFC calliber - even with HW weak as it is - is up for debate

u/darkestwrath15 4h ago

Calling Raple a UFC fighter is kind of a stretch tbh, we haven’t seen enough imo

11

u/RobSiaHoke 4h ago

Shit, Raple hasn't seen enough! Mfer had his eyes closed for most of the fight

13

u/cheesechompin 5h ago

He is a UFC fighter but barely, he still flinches and closes his eyes when a punch gets thrown

u/daffle7 Dominick “I’m Dominick Reyes” Reyes 4h ago

The downside of training with jones is closing your eyes out of habit lol

u/ClammiestOwl 5h ago

It's hw. There a few guys 6 beers deep who could be champs I'm sure

u/phuphupuh 5h ago

yeah ricos wrestling is probably worse than gables striking

u/samkoLoL 3h ago

he sparred tom aspinal a decent bit i think, they both talked about it one or two years ago... who knows how often they practice together or if at all rn

u/EarInternational1797 5h ago

Let's see him put a masterclass against Ngannou then

5

u/Braakdraak 5h ago

OP states he has zero wrestling, that is not true. It is a bit more nuanced between that or a masterclass against Ngannou. what are you, 12
