Does anyone have like, a proper translation of what Zhang actually said instead of the programming that her translator spouted

He also started salsa dancing to prove his legs are ok after all the low kicks

The octagon is an assemblage determined to transform it's participant's bodies. Aliens come out of it. Flows of hornyness diverted by the violence of the octagon.

I havr no idea who won that fight.

I did go to bed after the co-main figured I’d come back to this thread to see how the fight was. Israel’s entrance was pretty funny.

At the post fight presser, Dana said Chan Sung Jung and Brian Ortega got into some kind of scuffle/fight backstage

According to this Ortega slapped Jung's K-Pop friend/translator:

I mean he can't deny that his leg looks hosed up.

Lol at everyone posting that a world-class athlete should charge into potential instant death because anything less is below their ability to perceive. That fight was plenty exciting if you know anything about martial arts, which based on this thread is maybe five of you.

using my big brain to explain that true martial arts is a contest to see who is the best at recreating dhalsim's idle animation from street fighter 2

i fought and won at ammy Friday Night Fights in nyc two weeks ago, the main event last night was a loving snooZer. their behavior was strategically sound. it also made a really boring fight. one guy standing there feinting endlessly because the other guy would rather get hit and counter than bite on a feint means two people standing there waiting. that does not make an interesting 25 minutes to watch

Who would you say was more "at fault" for the fight being boring. Israel or Yoel?

both were trying to be smart and work their A games, so nobody's fault. just styles. neither wanted to go first against the other. i think by the end Israel realized he had to serously commit to some kicks and gtfo as soon as they landed for the feints to start working--which he did. it was just too little too late to make for interesting watching.

e: yoel made it clear from the first minute of the fight: i will let you hit me so i can hit you, but i will not swing first. I wont step in or swing on feints--ill just let a strike hit me, and then follow up. in that sense, Romero set the pace of the fight, but only to diffuse Israel's A game, which is to draw people onto his strikes through very smart feinting.

I see. Thank you.

Am I wrong to think that Yoel is more "at fault" due to him knowing that he was down in points and not trying to make something happen during the later rounds?

I would definitely blame Yoel more, he just kinda didn't really do anything other than plod around and wait for the other guy to engage in the pocket which uh, doesn't work when your being outworked at a distance (even if it's just by a couple leg kicks and jabs a round). No effort to close the distance from him.

Eh he was trying to play a game of chicken. It wasnt entitely clear who was winning, so I get it. He was hoping it was close enough that Israel would try to open up in order to secure a round--but Israel never opened up, and was content to edge the rounds and cross his fingers. It was a risky strategy in terms of winning, but that's chicken.

e: like, if we saw Romero try to push the pace, it would have been worse for him. That's playing Adesanya's game, and Adesanya is REALLY good at it. He was hoping he kept the rounds close enough that Adesanya would play his.
