Nice. I don't like Anthony, but I got nothing against this kid. He kept his hands high in the Kickboxing match, which is a good thing. Obviously he's into the dynamic striking which doesn't hurt. And going the distance shows he has some stamina. Didn't see much negative to take away from any of this.

Considering Sergio won his MMA debut via head kick TKO at 1:46 in to the first round, I'd say there's not much negative stuff to take away.
But then of course on the flipside his opponent was 0-3 with all three losses coming by triangle choke. Must be a Chael Sonnen student (even as the biggest Sonnen fan on here, that joke was too good to pass up).

As almost everyone knows. I train at Roufus Sport and I saw Serg come in 4 years ago and he has progressed so much. That kid is going to be more dangerous than Anthony. There sparring sessions are quite entertaining. Mix in Eric Koch with all 3 and practice can be fun to watch and picking up on new things.

Yeah, but its Sergio's debut. I don't make to much of new fighters, facing anyone, even if their record isn't stellar. IMO the wise thing to do is to start slow and work your way up.

I'd rather see Sergio winning grappling or wrestling matches than kickboxing matches tbh.

Why? His game is built around his dynamic striking. He needs to know where he is at in terms of fighting other professionals. He has plenty of time doing the grappling matches and winning medals. By the way, he wrestled 2 or 3 years in Highschool. He has grappled for the last 3 years along training BJJ.

I mean, we know being Anthony's brother he is going to have some good kickboxing most likely or at least the right guys to learn it from at the gym there, showing us some grappling or wrestling would make me believe a bit more that he is very well rounded and make me more optimistic for his future in MMA.
Don't get so defensive all the time of anyone related to your gym its kinda sad.

I don't think he was getting
so
defensive. Sergio's also in the gym working with Ben Askren, so he's also got one of the right guys to learn wrestling from at the gym. If you want to be shown some grappling or wrestling, look at Sergio's pro debut in Canada; he has a few submission attempts and a nice sweep attempt that he sets up with a dump. It was his jujitsu that got him back to the feet to land that headkick.
