Yes jack, chimaev said himself that when his team shouted out 30 seconds left in the fight, he tried to finish him... Meaning he was never really trying beforehand. I think he chose that game plan as the best way to deal with duplessis' sheer physicality
Hey Jack, I’ve been a fan of your work since the “Fights Gone By” days and have always respected your insight. I’d love to hear your thoughts on my recent fight with Ghadzi Rabadanov — your feedback would be great. Also, if you could consider covering PFL again (even just the bigger matchups), it would be much appreciated. And hey, I might have started a new trend with those spinning elbows after my fight with Clay Collard. Lol. Kind regards, Alfie Davis
Yooooo its Alfie Davis! Well done on the win!
The Dricus Du Plessis of having the slickest dude pussy.
Can you do a video breakdown of some of the stuff from that wrestling book you mention near the end? I’d like to see some examples of what you’re talking about
So much for "kill & smash"... What's next? I say at least 18 months of talking shit on social media without fighting, calling out fighters in other weightclasses or maybe some boxers and of course, getting into dodgy business/politics. For Dricus, I'd like RDR or Costa. Both would be fun, cartoonish fights.
Khabib and islam both have a very good and violent mounted crucifix. Khabib mangled Michael Johnson from the crucifix, and islam cruci-fucked Drew Dober. Both set up very dominant submissions. Khamzat had plenty of opportunities to go for submissions from the crucifix, and all he managed was a half-hearted Americana. He pretty clearly was fine just sitting on dricus to win a decision.
People hating on Khamzat for being boring or whatever term you want to use, you are casuals.
Can't wait for this one ..
It was both an impressive performance and an underwhelming performance at the same time.
No.
Decision merchant version of Khamzat has arrived just in time to claim UFC gold. The General Allahu Ackbar of making fights fubar.
No my man. Perhaps Khamzat played it safe in this one to avoid wierd things happening and to ensure the victory. I dont belive he will be a decision merchant going forward.
Hey Jack. The video being on YouTube prevents me from listening to it on the commute. It shuts off when the phone is closed...
He usually uploads to Apple Podcasts within the day.
