[@kylelayton9520]

@noobgun12 that's not true at all. Just watch the video from espn mma of the jiri knockout. At the end you see dominick lift his head and his legs. Most of the replays cut away before that but if you watch the video you'll see. Anyways just my opinion was matt browns elbow was more powerful. But we'll never know because there's no way to measure the force of who's elbow had more power. Both were devastating elbows

Reyes always thinks he can out strike everyone especially after his performance against Jones, not everyone in the division is defensive like Jones, he played with fire while fighting with Jan and jiri, styles makes fights, same style doesn't work on everyone, the same with Gustafson and Anthony Smith, lazy bums

Petr vs Suga was by no means a robbery, it was very close n competitive but Petr obviously should have won that. But, since O'malley is the latest star that they are trying to hype up, they gave it to him.

Crazy he had Jiri hurt twice. Once on the feet when Jiri shot for the TD and partially when he landed the upkick

[@dbnoho]

He always kept his hands down. I imagine he punches hard enough. That it’s fine. But he was fighting in every direction. Excellent forward and backward fighting, excellent lateral movement and throwing. But after a loss he just stopped. He wouldn’t fight going backwards until he already hit the cage and by then it’s too late. He fought going backwards against Jiri and hit him clean. But after his loses he just goes forward hands down against people who are better strikers. If he goes back to athletic fighting, lateral movement, counter punching and stepping off after the first or second back step instead of just, walking straight backwards into the cage, he can still rack up some wins

[@05erscharlatan31]

With Reyes I see two things that led to his current skid. He was a lot more patient in his fights prior to Blachowicz and also used footwork and head movement.
