Gusstaffson moves kind of girlishly

Awesome fighter, with good movement. Not fighter bashing but there's something effeminate about the way he flicks his hips around, hard to put a finger on. I guess the short shorts don't help.

The gf actually pointed it out and I notice every so often now.

Eh, it's effective.

Feminine movement aside, I've got him murking Shogun for 15 minutes.

I don't know how people think it will even be close. Shogun had problems standing with Vera and got hurt and ended up trying to take him down for most of the fight until Vera collapsed mentally and tried to fix his mouth piece right in front of shogun. I expect Gus to finish him late second third after shogun gasses. All though it has always been the third fight back that shogun started to look good again so who knows.

He is very light on his feet I think his size and his body type are what make you think that. He's really tall and thin. Jones moves like that sometimes bit he's not as nimble.

Threads like these are such a testament to Shogun. 31 years old, best years behind him, multiple surgeries, built a career on quick stoppages but past two fights have been lengthy brawls... yet most people are still on the fence for who to bet on when he's facing a 25 year old beast who is bigger, faster and trickier than most guys in the division.

Gustaf is a monster and anyone who downplays the Silva fight is a fool, he tooled Thiago Silva. He will stand with Shogun. Shogun is crafty and always lands something but will not hesitate in taking the fight to the ground. Gun to my head I pick Gustaf, his 'girlish' movement is something that most guys in the division cannot handle, and I guarantee he hits as hard or harder than Hendo... but Shogun is one of the few who will not be fazed by this and has the skills to make it his fight.

Seriously doubt that. I don't think Gus has half the power Hendo has. Fedor would make Gus his bitch.

All I know is that when Gus moved to Vegas no one would spar with him because he was kicking everyone ass. Forrest said something along the lines that hit him harder than anyone else ever has.

Having said that. Henderson has more power than anyone else in the game right now. No one is taking clean shots and staying up. The only reason shogun survived is because Dan was gassed.

You can't compare Gus power wise to Hendo because he isn't taking big steps and throwing bombs like he is pitching a fastball. Ever see when a bunch of people are trying to see how hard they can punch one of those machines in the bar? That is what Hendo looks like when he is throwing bombs. Apples to apples people.
