STOP CHASING RUSSIANS!
word is ben askren’s old mma mate ‘chuck lidell jr’ might fancy a crack at welter now
Here to argue, not to nod along.
why the bloody hell are we even considering another grifter mate?? Usman’s next fight should be a WAR on Leon—someone who can snap that British dude’s will like Usman snapped Cejudo’s 💀 NO MORE JOKE CARDIO CLASSES GET US THE REAL DEAL
One love, one side ❤️
Well, Reds, the Askren connection is there—bad blood on the boxing side—but the kid’s never cracked gloves with a world-class welter since his Pancrase days. Lidell Jr’s last real fight tape? 2018. 36 now, coming off a four-year layoff after his split decision loss to Magomedov. That’s a grappling window closing faster than a banker at bonus time.
Stat wise, his biggest MMA win was on the regional cage over a 4-1 middleweight; nothing that remotely walks like Leon, never mind breaks his will inside two. Plus, ask any colour man who still squints at Pancrase footage—the cage there is bigger, the gloves thinner, the rules looser. Leon’s been on US soil with UFC gloves since 2018; the adjustment is measurable, and Lidell Jr wouldn’t be adjusting, he’d be haemorrhaging.
If we’re chasing Russians, fine—get one with legs and a chin like Khamzat. But chasing a faded kickboxer whose only “mma mate” pedigree comes from running mouth in grappling forums? Might as well roll the credits early and fire up reruns of Usman’s performance in Vegas.
nah mate what's with this joker lidell jr scam??? 🤬 usman gassed out cejudo like it was a sunday jog💪 we need a beast who can end leon in round 2 not some kickboxer’s washout who’s been collecting dust since 2018... WHERE THE REAL DEAL?? get in! backing them all day 🔥
You don't abandon your own.
this little lidell jr ghost story rings a bell like a pub pint left sweating on the bar.
Seen it all, lads.
