Agreed.. like I said, it'd be weird to see him fight any other way. BUT, there are fighters who made style changes in their career and ended up doing better than ever. I just worry about his brain health and also I wanna see him fight the top guys.
I could see him using the brawling style more in bursts.. wrestling a lot more, perhaps old man Couture style against the cage/dirty boxing, and then going crazy in spurts and when he knows he has a guy hurt, going wild for the finish. He'd still be crowd pleasing but yeah
What do I know though? Lol I'm just a big fan of his and don't wanna see him go downhill
Once you get stopped it's easier to happen each time ya know, look at a Wanderlei for example
great fight
was disappointing how the boxing was completely abandoned...he used to use a 1...2...leg kick

lots of good finishes
Justin and Thug have the same coach. Surely Trevor could teach him a few zigs and zagsAgreed.. like I said, it'd be weird to see him fight any other way.

and bobs n weaves. Maybe he just doesnt want to. I don't think it would take away from his
style to add just a tad at least. Will always root for him!
Agreed.. the Eddie fight wasn't even 6 months ago. So one year would be good. But I hope he is making good money, I think he gets 100k base pay with 100k win bonus. The Reebok money isn't shit for him since he only has a few fights, but the FOTN checks certainly help, which he absolutely deserves.
Still though.. a dude like this should be earning 10x that. Almost all the revenue for tonight's event was generated by the excitement of his main event vs Porier.. when you think of how many millions tonight earned, really, those guys should be making a mil each for being the entire attraction and having such amazing styles to create that kinda hype.
Fucked up how much % goes to the promotion instead of the fighters.
Thanks bro, gonna start them now.
Any I should skip over that were awful? If so please name em haha
anyone found a gif of the gathje roll kick?
Great card. Sad about Tim and Carlos.
But so fucking happy Michelle won. Keeps her ranking.
I'm hearing that millennial whoop in the hockey crowd in Anaheim now.
I suspect the producers are encouraging this...

Yeah, that style is ... (searching searching for the right words...) not....
not....sus... NOT SUSTAINABLE , that's it
Hell of a fight . Original Terminator vs. T-2000 .
T-2000 was more technical and caught Original
with a couple of good ones , and it was O-ver.
can't say for sure...little hazy on the recall
It's a ballsy style, but personally, I wouldn't use a tough chin as my primary defensive weapon .
Never a dull moment in his fights, though
Just caught up. Here are my take aways...
-Karate Hottie showed some great heart and improved wrestling, but she will never be elite at 115. (Still elite in hotness though).
- Israel has Anderson-like swag when he strikes and huge overall potential, but he was also exposed tonight. His nonchalant defense and amateur ground game off his back will mean losses for him soon enough if he doesn’t address those gaps.
- Condit is one of my top 10 fighters of all time, but his run is coming to an end. He is no longer elite. Give us one more against Matt Brown and they can both retire as warriors.
- Dustin/Gaethje certainly lived up to the hype. I was convinced Dustin would win by UD, so the finish was a nice surprise. Justin’s greatness will only go as far as his chin will take him. Is he doesn’t fight smarter, his career will have a steep decline.
Overall great night of fights. Sorry I couldn’t tune in live, but the conversation looked as fun and humorous as usual. Goodnight fellas!
