Kongo looked poor because he was just coming back from a serious back injury,yet he still won 2 out of the 3 rds against a Browne,the only way Browne had a chance at actually winning that fight was if Kongo had a second point deducted.
don't forget a healthy Kongo is also the only fighter so far to hurt Cain and push him the distance.
Being the first person in MMA or kickboxing to knock Barry out has got to say something positive about Kongo's striking hasn't it?
Also there is no shame in getting dropped by Barry,Barry before the Kongo fight should really have only had one loss on his record.
He's one of if not the hardest striker out of the UFC HW's,look how he was knocking Cro-cop about,if he wasn't in such awe of one of his heros and had gone on the attack,just like he did against Kongo,Cro-cop wouldn't of made it out of the first few minutes of that fight.
How many times did JDS drop Cro-cop?
look I'm not even that great a Kongo fan,(I was hoping barry put him to sleep)I just think that what he has actually done so far in the sport,some of his performances,who he has fought and who he has beat in the last few years put's him above the others.
I think Mitrione and schaub have the best chance out of that list in making an attempt to crack the top 10,but they have more proving to do and are behind Kongo at the moment.
I like to think I'm a pretty good judge of a fighter and with Browne,I could be wrong but I'm just not seeing it.
