It's all in the Mr. Finland script. Win round 1, gas out, get finished in rd 2. If you've been around for a while, you know this.

Amirkhani always slows down after the first. Easy.

It honestly blows my mind that Makwan knew that his cardio was an issue, but never actually addressed it and got the work done to fix it

Its a proven fact that people who picked against Shore have no penises (or brain cells)

Jack Shore needs to improve a alot more!! Concerning he even lost a round to a fighter who doesn’t belong in the UFC
Jack is just another Journeymen like Paddy Pimblett

Wouldn't be surprised if Makwan reveals he fought his whole career with one lung after he hangs up his gloves.

That’s vague. What is considered a lack of activity? If the guy in control is throwing strikes, even if they are puny and largely inefficient, is that not considered activity? It’s not like they all try to just stall on purpose, it’s just difficult to get position. There’s a lot of small adjustments and grips that get in the way of positioning and transitioning. Technique takes time, especially at a high level, the sport shouldn’t be neutered because of that, even if it is dull.

Why are you telling people to bend the knee when you’re already at crotch height? We’d basically be making eye contact if I got on one knee

Got Vettori to win by dec or KO. I wont be mad if Dolidze pulls an upset but I will be mad if Vettori wins by sub.
