Opinion: When Supreme Will Meets Supreme Skill Bellator286 via LevPisarsky
in the finals, and then hiding his blind eye for a decade for fear it would hurt Japanese MMA. By modern rules and standards, Carlyle is the ultimate in heart and fighting spirit.I've written about McKee before,
and stand by my assertion that he may well be considered the greatest fighter of all time by the time he retires, though fighting in Bellator instead of the overhyped UFC may obscure that reality for some. His talent is completely off the charts, with a youngthe only comparison I can make. McKee is phenomenal at every aspect of fighting with a speed, accuracy, explosiveness, and power that is mind-boggling and unprecedented, along with frequently textbook perfect technique.
What happened when these two extremes met? For starters, it was a very good, exciting fight. Round 1 was among the most exciting stanzas I've seen all year, with Carlyle fighting like even more of a wild berserker than normal. This was absolutely the correct choice, too. There was no way he could ever defeat McKee in a slower-paced, more methodical fight. He had to turn it into an insane brawl where hopefully McKee would break under the strain or make a mistake.
Thus we learned how far ultimate toughness can take a fighter. The answer is a lot further than most realize, although there is a hard upper boundary to it. We also learned something about ultimate talent. Despite all of McKee's ability, he couldn't rely on that alone to win. He had to dip into his own toughness, self-discipline, and fighting smarts to avoid the lure of Carlyle's endless brawling and win the exhausting, thrilling 15-minute battle.
