Hit him behind the ear. Equilibrium probably got hosed.

One thing I like about Shoeface; when they send him out to get beaten up by middle-aged men, he genuinely seems stoked.

lol, I will never forget the fight where Johny Hendricks missed weight for Middleweight.

I was going to say that Boetsch looked better in the scrambles, but then he just sort of moved his head into that choke so.

I don't know, Jon Anik, if I were in a back-alley fight, I feel like Cortney 'Cast-Iron' Casey would be pretty low on the list of people I'd bring.

Her thing for a while was that she was quick and technical, but small and now she's spent a lot of time on the bench and new fighters have come in and old fighters have either gotten better or been released, so she's just small.

Also, she works really well with Greg Jackson, but I haven't seen him in a while.

Waterson trains with Holly Holm, so she does now how to throw a devastating tit-kick.

Casey has mastered the art of almost getting a submission.

I mean, she pretty much had it most of the time, Waterson's just a bit slicker and very flexible. Also had a very nice heel hook.

That's a weak decision, but it's a strawweight fight involving two women who are nowhere near a title shot, so who cares.

Awesome fight, Dusin’s Leg kick defence was still godawful but those eye pokes gave him a lot of recovery time that he needed. Gaethje owns.

Trevor Wittman understands his fighters and knows how to work with them better than literally every single person on this website.

Maybe an outside chance if Conor keeps being dumb as poo poo and Tony doesn't heal up and Khabib demands a title defence before Ramadan, or even after, if both those things keep happening, but even then, I think they'd give it to Eddie.

It sucks, but welcome to the Lightweight divison, where all the best, most exciting fighters exist, but they're never allowed to fight for the title because [unintelligible irish about 'diddy bread']

fuckin eddie got melted by conor and then smoked by dustin until he cheated. NO NOO !

He cheated after hurting Dustin real bad, but yeah, they've left the division in limbo and now there's pretty much no one really 'ready' for a title shot barring Dustin.

What is significant strikes even signifying if is counting strikes that hit the guard?

Strike stats in general are useless garbage aside from for pointing to and going 'that's cool' and immediately forgetting about.

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

Fight Metric folks are like the potato in a briefcase photo in that everything about them only works in theory.

Time for Poirier-Alvarez 2 for the interim title.
