Ben "Bear Hug" Benson's last fight he just got demolished and I'm not even sure how my opp managed to deal as much damage as they did as quick as they did

You got Kewari'd friend.
The freak clincher will fair well against SPD fighters, but against agile sluggers, ropists, dancers, etc. who run low SPD with loads of AGL (to almost freak levels themselves) he struggles mightily with pure matchup disadvantages.
Think of it this way. As a clincher, You rely on clinch which gives you loads of AGL (1/2 of STR advantage to AGL), but when he uses ring, it really boosts his AGL into astronomical levels because he already has 30+ AGL, and you have < 7. Figure if he has 30 and you have 5, he gets +1 AGL just for using ring and another 12.5 (1/2 of AGL advantage) for the AGL advantage. He also gets a huge boost to SPD and AGL because he's so much taller. So his AGL is likely > 50 when it hits the sim. his STR is thrn a problem because it nullifies what you normally get from using clinch and all that AGL means he's still the much more agile fighter. He can use defense like 3/7/10 (ring) to really devastate you and still win rounds... There's really nothing you can do because you are limited to clinch only. It's as close an unwinnable matchup as you will find in WeBL.
Further proof to the old WeBL law that AGL beats STR which beats SPD which beats AGL. With freakish fighters, that law plays out correctly almost 100% of the time.

How to identify these guys?
1. Very low punches landed percentages
2. usually fair badly against counterpunchers
3. Lots of fights due to the low number of IP's they receive on a weekly basis.
4. In my experience it's usually the experienced mathy guys that run them, Kewari fitting that bill perfectly. Kachalka did amazing things with this.
The good news is there's not that many around currently with SPD being so dominate. Those that are usually are ran by the more experienced managers. I think Lille has ran into a few with his freak hw's, probably old Sanford and Bobby D fighters from WeBL days long ago when SPD wasn't at such a premium. It's too hard to make a legitimate run through regionals right now with these builds and it's not very easy to make them in contenders. This game is cyclical though. If everyone starts running STR, look for an AGL resurgence.
