@sexy Beefer nah this was worse. People were fading flick on the basis of his last two, but forgetting that Gordon is even worse

Ok, we get it. Silva is a promising prospect. Can we please move on already?

Wouldn't say Gordon was worse, just that his weaknesses all fell into the strengths of Flick.

Mokaev and Gordon were more high pace wrestling scrambles and transitions. Were more so playing cat and mouse.

Flick was using BJJ to catch Gordon's sloppy transitions between positions, almost like checkmating him in the scrambles with his BJJ

I will say that guillotine sweep into arm triangle was slick as ****. How can you show such brilliance then look like a new born fawn on the feet.

Not the way I wanted the night to start but on to the next one.

This fight being at 135 now scares me just a little bit. Having flashbacks to Cachoeira and Lipske

It's a very sour feeling that a great song like this goes to a rather mediocre fighter in Cachoeira
