Shinya Aoki Ranked #4

[gunswordfist]

Aoki is still top 10. He got beat by another top 10er that he has a win over and has done a shit ton more than Guida and Pettis.

[Dpez71]

Please watch Aoki's takedown attempt about 55 seconds into the fight. This should clear up any confusion you have for why people call Aoki's wrestling trash.

Its like he was diving into the shallow end of a kiddie pool.

My god I love this post. This perfectly describes 95% of double legs coming from non wrestlers in MMA.

Pettis beating Bendo & Guida beating Gomi & Pettis >>>> anything Aoki has done in MMA. Stop drinking the non-zuffa/jmma koolaid. I respect his BJJ but his mma game will continue to be proven to be overrated the more he fights in a cage under American MMA rules and refs that make you more active on your feet than your back.

[b]HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA[b] I needed a good laugh. Gomi was 1-1 in his last two when Guida beat him. Pettis' greatest win at the time was a Bendo who's biggest win was Cerrone (who's biggest win at the time was, Jamie Varner, lol). Beating Alvarez, Kawajiri and Hansen are all better than those wins. Rankings are based on accomplishments so it's funny that you go to fight analyzing at the end.

i have pettis and bendo obviously over aoki, but guida and gomi? naaaaah

Kawa who? Whats hansens record in the last 3 years? What did alvarez do to aoki a few days ago? Bendo has only beaten edgar and some "cans" right? You made me laugh even more...

@ jack wouldbt be surprised if clay would just wrestlefuck aoki for 3 rounds even tho stylistically aoki could just eat up guidas style... Gomi & aoki would be interesting also to see of gomi could catch aoki b4 aoki tried pulling guard... Pettis would murder aoki tho, imo.

[SamuraixJack]

why didnt gomi vs aoki happen b4, back in like 08 while they were both in Japan.

Shit, I can understand all the hate for Aoki but to diss Kawajiri like that is pretty pathetic and makes me think you're a troll. It's also pretty obvious too that you have a dislike for guys who compete mainly in Japan right now. Fuck those Japcans amirite? Also, Aoki would probably crap all over Gomi. Aoki's chin is soft but Gomi is trash, no pun intended.

[gunswordfist]

Gomi would get subbed so easily. He got choked out by Aurelio and Aoki easily grapple raped him.

lol @ people actually being surprised at the egregious shit mrbwo spews

Hush. I'm trying not to resort to insults.

Ty for upping this thread. Another blow to the MMA hipsters who hate on American/Zuffa fighters and overrate the Asian/Euro/Non-Zuffa fighters as if we don't subjectively see their flaws, especially in a cage where you can't just lay on the ground all day to make your opponent come to you.

MMA has become a better place since Alvarez handed Aoki.

I guess liking someone who isn't in the UFC makes you a hipster. It's people like you who make MMA forums a terrible place.

so where does aoki rank in your top 10 now after being obliterated by a guy that was in the 8-10 range in most top 10 lists?

Probably not in there but what does that have to do with me liking him. You gys are so egry to hate on him you say things that don;t make sense to me. Arghument fail on your part now get out.

i like aoki. assumption fail on your part, have a good day.

[counterstrike]

Lol. So Aoki tried to stand with Eddie and got KTFO. Not sure what was thinking...He looked for one takedown the entire fight...He doesn't have the chin to be an elite striker...Not really sure what Aoki's gameplan was...Oh well. War Aoki!

no he got KTFO because he was so confident about his guard that he relaxed once he fell because it seemed like he didn't think alvarez would dare try to follow him to the ground.

needless to say, looks like he was wrong.

but aoki IS still number 4..... among non UFC LWs after gil, chandler, and eddie.

I would take Masvidal over Aoki all day. He went 5 rounds with Gil, with a broken hand.

i was JUST talking about that in another thread haha. i got masvidal at 5 right after aoki, but would pick him to win. personally i need to see a little more of jorge's TDD, but my gut tells me he would be able to defend the TDs and murder aoki on the feet.

Yeah, I think Jorge would have to watch the tapes of Gil and Eddie's wins over Aoki, and do the same.

He won't answer the question, he just wanted to try to take me down and leave with a whimper like Aoki did last night.

Zing!
