Yep. He could have been the greatest heavyweight of all time... he was well on his way.
Talk about a downward spiral
MMA has run the brawlers out of the sport... the guys can't hang any more. There was a day when a Dan Severen or Tank Abott could walk into the ring and simply pummel his opponent into submision. Those days are long gone. Today's pro MMA fighters are too well trained and too balanced to allow it to happen. Hell, even strikers like Chuck Liddell are schooled in grappling.
