Predictions: 1 of 2 Winners, 1 Perfect, 100 Points   |   Tied for 259th

This noise kicks off at 1am ET, dark and early, or dark and late. Idk. 

I don't expect to be covering this live, so if there's a savage contrib who wants to toss live results in with a better time zone than I, feel free! Otherwise, I'll toss them in in the morning. 

Enjoy!

It's a nicely executed kick with whipping motion, which extends the reach of the kick. Ishii tries to block the kick out in front, but a whipping attack is designed to curve around behind the block. If you project the trajectory of the kick, the tip of his toes curves around at the end of the leg whip to strike Ishii like a weighted edge on the side of the head close to the temple.

Something that kinda stuck with me from last night...

A picture says a thousand words. AJ Matthews after being told he was just KO'd by Tokov.
