I didn’t think flick would survive the first round. I do think the odds were fair though

Gordon has no fight IQ. So sad.

He just nedded to be a little pacient and keep the fight on the feet. Flick was get lit up and he would get a KO

How do you roll over with a Guillotine sinked in without a leg hooked? All you have is the head and no leverage so you just give the opponent position.

Gordon has nobody but himself to blame for not finishing that Guillotine at the end of R1, but good for Flick for showing some durability.

Gordon could have won that fight, just way too reckless. Could have kept that on the feet and easily picked him apart

Seriously, am I remembering wrong? Maybe it's because Mokaev is a wrestler and Flick is more of a scrambler. But Gordon looked so much worse defensively this time out
