[Official] UFC Fight Night: Whittaker vs. Gastelum - Press Conference & Post-Fight Discussion Thread

Yeah, I would be very very surprised if that were to happen. I think Gilbert running himself into all of Kamaru's punches made him look a lot better than he really is. Gilbert is a really bad striker, pretty much all hooks, overhands, and leg kicks ( during which he drops his hands completely), and forces himself to go forward at all times. Kamaru has a decent jab, no doubt about it, but Gilbert ran himself into that punch repeatedly.

Kamaru also has nothing else besides that jab. Every other punch he has is thrown pretty sloppily... people are massively overrating his striking because of a single fight against an opponent tailor-made for him to look good against ( and he was still dropped in that fight).
