Since his release from the UFC, Robelis Despaigne has compiled an impressive record in Karate Combat with seven victories, including six finishes—four of which came within the first 20 seconds. Most notably, he recently knocked out former UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos. Despite being 37 years old and having significant limitations in his grappling skills, the post argues that the UFC made a mistake releasing Despaigne. The author contends that with his knockout power and exceptional reach, Despaigne would have continued producing highlight-reel finishes against lower-tier UFC opponents. His physical attributes make him a threat to any opponent regardless of skill level.
