I missed his entrance but if you're referencing Latifi here, he's not from Stockholm

Sorry you're right but yeah I mean Latifi. Came in to the main Rocky theme.

Maybe not, Jan definitely got the better of the stand up in the first round.

Some Jones-esque gnp there but overall that did not look like prime Silva. Blachowicz is giving him a fight.

Any grapplers able to confirm if he would be better off shrimping toward the fence rather than endlessly trying for the armbar or am I way off

You don't need to be a grappler to know that he should try to get up instead of lying motionless on his back.

I was thinking is there a technical reason that would prevent him from doing that like the placement of Gus. But then he seems to be able to move his hips for the failed armbar attempts so maybe not.

LHW is a trash fire so Gus is probably the #2 fighter in it, but I think he'd be shot as title contender in a non clown car division

they do those dumb rankings where the champion actually isn't ranked, just a champion. so Anthony Johnson is the "#1" contender instead of actually being the #2 fighter in the division.
