This time he meets Sandhagen, as we all know, Sandhagen is just better than most fighters in the UFC, so what can you really take from this fight? The same story, Austin doesnt win round 1 or 2, and isnt close. He just gets beat up from bell to bell before he gets finished. BUT HE GETS ANOTHER SHOT.
So he meets Hakeem Dawodu, i typical black athletic west africa genes type of fighters. Very quick. Good striking overall. Obviously outstriked Arnett for three clear rounds....and pay attention, so far Arnett has not won one single round, up to this point. So he gets cut then? nah ah, no no... HE GETS ANOTHER SHOT???? Off course.
In his 4th ufc appearance he meats Bandenay. Terrible fighter. Loses off course 1th round as always, being inactive and showing off a complete lack of self-control lunging in and almost at a point is nearly finished. Wins round 2, very....VERY slightly.
Round 3. Arnett fights with no regard for the fact that he has gone 1-10 in terms of rounds! No sense of urgency, from maybe halfway in round 3, goes for a takedown, and secures the round because of ground control.
MY focking god, what a terrible fighter this Austin Arnett is.
Shange young is at least a ufc level fighter, he has good striking, he is offensively orientated, he wants to win, he is athletic, he has shown to go to dec with Volkanovsky he has showed us something. Arnett needs a lucky punch or a sub, really fast. Or he will get finished within 2 rounds.
Whatever skill youre looking for, Arnett doesnt have it. No athleticism, no speed, 0 aggresion. No wrestling pedigree. He doesnt belong, like at all. Where not talking Te edwards level, were waaaaaaaaay under that level. Were talking a guy which barely is top 150-200 in the world.
Shane Young should be -400/-500.
