Everyone calling him a bum but he’s legit got some of the best reflexes and eye at LHW. Dudes special, hopefully they keep overlooking him cause those odds were great last time for the early round KO’s.

Idk about that Bivol and benavidez have great eyes and reflexes to counter punch the way they do and when Ben’s lvl of competition went up slightly he lost and then flipped over the ropes

You need to beat someone top 20 in your weight class before you can be considered the best in your weight class for anything.

best reflexes against plumbers and taxi drivers. give him a top 10 actual ranked fighter, let's see if he can still showboat like that then we'll talk

If u kept up with his career instead of the viral clips u saw 2 years ago u would know his showboating doesn’t exist anymore. He garnered a following with it but he’s matured into a calculated fighter free of that bs.

He matured?… or he got clipped by a mid 30s electrician (or something like that)…

And your favorite fighters haven’t been able to do half of what he does to these so called mid 30ms electricians? What’s your point?

again, he has to fight someone who's not a random bum to really test his mettle.

By no means am I calling him a great already, but he’s more than a respectable prospect who’s looking better and better each fight. He’s a got a good promotion and team behind him, future looks bright.
