It's no different to what Chael Sonnen or Nick Diaz does. Personality sells tickets. Sell more tickets and promoters pay more attention to you. It's great marketing at the end of the day. Hence why this guy's just gone from a few fights in UCMMA to fighting in Bellator.

He is trying to mimic Jon Jones and Anderson Silva with some flashy kicks thrown in there, striking aside I think Bobby is right, some one is gonna grind the shit out of this rising star via Fitch method, if they can get him down. Not putting your hands up is a sign of disrespect. So you have won a couple kickboxing titles NO ONE has heard of outside the UK. If he wins the Bellator Tourney, Funky is gonna grind him to dust.

No doubt, but I still don't like it. Just not my style.

Not putting your hands up is not a sign of disrespect. It is a sign of his background.

Nah, he has a style like Wonderboy and we see what Matt Brown did to him. I reckon Matt Brown would do the same to this guy.

I disagree. He's been doing this much longer than Jones and he looks nothing like Anderson. This guy is very flashy but also very sloppy. Anderson is flashy but incredibly controlled. This guys flashiness will get him taken down or KOd in the UFC.

Yeah. It's a sign that in his background he hasn't had his ass whooped. IF he reaches Funky, and he BEATS funky, I'll be impressed. For now I feel that it's mostly hype built on the backs of low quality/newish fighters.

Now, in the back of my mind, I hope a couple things. I hope he's the real deal and he's really that good, or I hope he gets his ass whooped so he can improve and reach his full potential. But as of now, I'm not buying the hype.

If he keeps throwing Mortal Kombat Finishing Moves on people than you won't really hear shit from me. I still say Funky by doin what Funky does: Grind.
