Gaethje is going to be slurring his speech so bad in his fifties.

Schenck v. U.S. posted:

did Poirier get hurt by that flying poo poo at the end? it looked like he got rocked at the bell by Gaethje's front flip kick.

No his knees just hurt like a motherfucker.

that's a lawler / manhoef style comeback but somehow way more gruelling, punishing, and impressive.

I don't know if I'd call it a comeback considering he was winning the fight up until the finish even though he was damaged.

As a coach of Gaethje at some point do you have to try to fix your fighter so he doesn't fight like that. Like it makes for an entertaining fight but if you're only beating the Michael Johnsons of the UFC it seems like they need to rethink things.

Michael Johnson murdered Poirier.

I mean yeah but Johnson is super uneven with a 17-13 record and is easily drawn into Gaethjes battle. hell Darren Elkins beat him.

I think he can make his style work for him but he took an insane amount of head shots for pretth much the whole fight. Is getting constantly punched in the face integral to what he does? I'd imagine that improving his head movent or actually effectively blocking would go a long way, even if he keeps doing risky poo poo. There's risky poo poo, and there's bad defense, and he uh kinda does both. Bad combination.

Gaethje had eaten something like 120 head shots by the end of the second round. Most fighters barely eat that many in a 5 round fight.

like you said tho poirier is always reckless enough to get cracked in a fight he should win

He seems to have fixed that issue since the Johnson fight. He has been very disciplined in his approach since then.

I would assume the fight metric folks don't count clearly blocked shots as significant strikes.
