Yo did anyone watch the last UFC card? God those guys fucked each other up. I fuckin love when they're punching and kicking each other. I have so much fun seeing a guy get choked unconscious because they're so tough they don't even tap. When it gets bloody that's so exciting because it means it a super hardcore fight where the violence is more important than the discomfort. I wonder if Izzy is going to get the title back - he'll need to do something about Strickland's aggression.
I nearly got knocked out in a muay thai class one time. I didn't have my hands up to my face, so when I got head kicked I basically exploded. That shit was so violent, it sucked. I wasn't concussed and they kicked me pretty lightly. I knew what is was like to be a Nazi insofar that I was defeated because of the violence. It was a good thing because it taught me to take better care of my nutrition because I think it was a factor in running out of energy and getting hurt. I didn't get killed, so it was just a learning experience.
Absolutely crying at this because that fight was boring as fuck lmao strickland set the pace and izzy got snake charmed by a sparring pace lmao
God i hate both of them i wish both of them recieved more violence tbh
I did not think the fight was boring as fuck honestly. I mean that 1st round KD was crazy. Never seen anyone connect with izzy that clean. It was impressive.
I'm kinda amazed though how sean was able to make izzy fight Sean's fight so effectively. That Philly shell is underrated tbh
You aren't wrong, the KD was def hype, but kinda emptied it in the first round for me.
It's so depressing, I actually really like Strickland's weird standing straight plodding style. His rolls and hand fighting/parrying is insanely effective, and his whole plan is incredibly calm with his ability to reduce people to just spar with him (barring Pereira lmao). I thought the odds were insane before the fight since I knew it was going to be somewhat to his style with Adesanya but i REALLY wasn't expecting Adesanya to fall into it so hard like other fighters. I feel like Adesanya usually adjusts really well mid fight but he was truly owned.
Unfortunately Strickland is such an unrelenting trash person that any self respecting human basically has to hope he gets smacked around lol. Love his style but dear god I wish a more likeable guy was utilizing it.
But yeah you aren't wrong, it wasnt a horrible fight, but it def wasn't a bloodbath. Strickland just that good at making people fight his sparring pace.
I agree I thought it was a good fight. Strickland really pulled through, as much of a dipshit as he is, it's impressive that he was able to pull it off. That 1st round KD was incredible
