You can't legitimately say Gil is better than Frankie, Bendo, or Gray, or BJ. He hasn't fought even close to the competition they have. Kawajiri, Aoki, Thomson? Yeah he's good, he'll be a legit contender, but he's still a step below the top UFC guys until he has fought them
Not discussing "holes" is probably the smartest thing I've seen a fighter do. I never really got on any bandwagon, but after this interview I am a Gilbert fan. Advantages you think you may have should always be kept between you and your training. So again I am now a Gilbert fan, even if he is friends with that idiot Nick.
The goal is to be the champ of Strikeforce? C'mon Gil, you need a bigger goal. Like maybe UFC Camp? Best LW in the world? Do your work in the UFC and let's see if you really are a legit top 3 LW like you claim to be.
@Robespierr They really aren't that bad. If you meet the Diaz brothers in person, they are way nicer and more relaxed than guys like Matt Hughes and many other fighters.
The media only shows them when they're acting stupid
Jillbert, you ain't ready! You are gonna get eaten alive in the UFC. You should focus on a smaller promotion elsewhere. You also should seek a new team...Diaz, Cesar, Shields?! Hahaha...that team is a laughing stock.
Gil's gonna be the UFC champ someday so... I mean I like Edgar but have no respect for the way he fights. He tries to edge out rounds on people, sure he's got great heart but he's beaten BJ Penn (not finished him either time) and 1-1-1 against Maynard... Beat Henderson, Diaz, Guillard, Pettis, Guida. Then I'll call you the p4p #2 Henderson is gonna smash Edgar though in Japan so.
@wheresmyrematch He knocked Gray Maynard out, didn't really seem like he was going for points there. I used to critique Edgar for the same thing but if an opportunity pops up, he capitalizes on it.
@Xionc i know man, but he was fighting that fight to win based on rounds yet again, and that opportunity just presented itself. Dominating a fight to a decision is one thing. trying to squeak out rounds by doing that little combination he does where 0 connect and leg kicks that do no damage only look good i got no respect for.
@wheresmyrematch i respect your opinion, but i think your saying he tries to just point fight, which i don't really agree with. I mean sure he didn't knock out penn, but who has, and you mentioned hes 1-1-1 with Maynard, but didn't mention he knocked him out. I think he comes across that way because hes such a small guy, the majority of his punches just don't do that much damage. I do agree though he still has a lot of work to do to become #2 P4P.
will try and find out his name
