I remember that exchange. Good training by Kelvin. Wasn't enough this time, but he'll be back.

Funny thats how weidman caught anderson but he couldnt catch gastelum. I wonder about the rear hook fake and lead elbow off kelvins slip. That may have been effective with kelvin trying to use that type of head movement so close to the cage

When I saw that i was like hell yeah that was sick. He fucking dodged all those punches. Missing punches also takes a lot out of you.

Chris is a shadow of himself since fighting Anderson. Don't know what happened to this kid.......

Weidman catching Anderson was a lucky punch. I missed tons before landing the hail mary. It was also pre-USADA. He hasn't been the same since.
Lucky punch is bullshit that indicates a lack of understanding the strategies employed in that fight leading up to the KO.

The 2nd part of the statement I don't have a problem with.

I wouldn't call the punch he landed on Anderson lucky. Anderson just handed him his chin on a platter, fucking around like he did.

Phenomenal stuff from Kelvin. Thought he was in big trouble there but really persevered.

You know that he won twice after the Anderson fights & looked great doing so right...?

I thought Kelvin lacked a little swagger of his previous fights. Seemed a tiny bit confidence shy. Maybe he didn't believe he could win.

That little sequence was awesome and he could definitely have won that. Not sure what his ground game is rated like but he got schooled quite a few times on the ground

His ground game is pretty good but he typically will turtle and is able to stand or create a scramble when his opponent gets too excited to move for the back. Weidman didn't give him that. He would settle to just ride him and wear on him and force him to go flat on his back at times. You add the size difference and it was way too much for him.

The size difference was pretty impressive. You dont notice how big Weidman is compared to Kelvin till in the cage.
