Echoing the sentiment other bois have, this is some of your best work, Slacky J!
Banging work. Dankie Slacky
You mentioned you weren't sure if Topuria's striking is all that was seen in the UFC, maybe you've seen this before but here's a video compilation that includes all of his fights between 2015-19 too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRSRMRG9cY0&t=131s&ab_channel=karlosmane
Definitely one of your best articles. Really enjoyed this breakdown. Amazing work Slacky!
beautiful piece of writing Jack, well done
The Ian Garry of getting left hook Larry'd
The Slacky J of smashing booty on Valentine’s Day
This is a fantastic piece! So cool that you've been writing again, Im always sad when the UFC apex cards are bad cause I know there wont be an article coming out sunday
One of your best works of writing to date, Slacky. Can't wait to rewatch some Topuria whilst bearing all this in mind and understanding a little more of what it is that I find so sick about his style.
The Paul Atreides of fighting Sugar Ray so many times you've got diabetes
Great work slack! The v step breakdown was giving Jack Danaher. Loved it!
Thanks for the amazing valentine's day gift
Might run on on that last paragraph lol.
