@bruce I seen it on one of those youtube mma news show s awhile back.  I don't know if they were supposed to show it cause it was brought up on the joe rogane show a couple weeks later and joe said he wasnt allowed to talk about it. I think its about waiting for a patent

I’d think Arnettwas Dom Cruz’s Lil bro the way he’s calling it.   Not that he isn’t landing that light poking counter

This is so frustrating to watch, Arnett should be a decent outside puncher and be able to jab people like Young to oblivion, but he can't move around and keep the distance. He's so easy to hit despite his reach.

@Vazio also why wouldn't Austin initiate some grappling-exchanges!? Single, double, didnt even try to grab plum/clinch. Ok so he wanted to prove something striking..then why not do just that? No body shots? Where were the leg-kicks? What 3 head-kicks with 1 being set up..horrendous performance from a man on a high & super confident. blah
