Simón is ready for that guillotine every time. Not even close

Being good at jumping that guillotine might be more of a curse than a blessing. Even Poirier gives up position so often to try to land a sub that has a 10% success rate.

Simon is a workhorse but he just doesn't have any power in his punches that I see, if Kelleher just showed no respect to the hands and be ready to sprawl he'd have more success. It's just hard to get going against someone with as much pressure as Simon.

Simon doesn't seem like a one-punch KO guy, but he keeps people honest. Hits just hard enough to improve his positions.

He might have been able to do that but the cut on his forehead really hurts
