Cory, I'm in Castle Rock. If you ever need to demonstrate a liver kick or knocking someone unconcious for the sake of these instructional videos, let me know. Stay blessed Gs!

[@_C_D_]

I’d love to see you do a breakdown of your fight with Umar and things you would do differently against him in the future. Your defensive wrestling might be the blueprint to countering the Dagestani style if people can learn from it and develop it

[@sandmanqqrr]

Why should he give away his gameplan?

[@clkgtr12]

even if you stuff the takedowns, they're still gonna shoot and keep you guessing, and if you're facing someone as good as umar on the striking, that will open you up so you're cooked either way your best chance is a lucky punch

[@_C_D_]

@@sandmanqqrr well not even say what he would do in a future fight but break down the techniques he used in their match and why

[@dylan104]

​@@clkgtr12Lol lucky punch, gimme a break. The dude isn't invincible and he has plenty of flaws. He almost got KOd by a short notice debutant before the Cory fight and it was not a lucky punch.

[@renocamo]

Glad to see you back! Please continue to do these videos.

[@Hennessey_and_smoke]

Wow. This is amazing, some of the best instruction content on the tube.

[@wszczeklypiesz]

Sad for Ortega, but really happy for Lopez. He's such an exciting prospect from his first fight in the UFC and if he improves his defense a bit I can see him holding a title someday. Right now I would be worried seeing him vs Topuria, but he still has time.

[@missinginsanity]

Hell of a breakdown. You def will be fine after fighting. Analysis on the broadcast hopefully! Cheers dude. Cerebral fighter.

[@isaiahsdead]

Do more man this stuff is fire

[@Jedi_Jed]

I love these videos. Learning great stuff from it.

[@waynzignordics]

Loving all the love being given to Topuria in this breakdown. That man has special talent, but his cockiness blinds many people to it, and his dismissal of Max Holloway makes that rabid fan-base go nuts about Ilia.

[@wompwomp1658]

Good breakdown thanks as always

[@tyharper6483]

Your the goat mannnn Much love to ya brutha!

[@luisfernandoenrique]

I would think that this type of counter punching is very energy consuming? And also opponents will draw your counters and rush you after your combo ends.

[@almazingsk8er]

It is indeed very energy consuming, and you can see it with just how hard Lopes hits. Hes planting and throwing HARD. Dude’s conditioning is definitely next level but he does also tend to slow down a bit after the first round

[@JohnRobertPotter]

Lopez is the definition of He's got that dog in him

[@andrewvellos9735]

Great video! Really resonated

[@ned_right3440]

Great content!

[@chosechose6298]

Hey, really liked the breakdown and tips, dont feel that you need to do every cards. I personally prefer something a bit more though off and in deep and if that means you dont push videos about fights you feel like u have less to say, so be it

[@chevyrunner8846]

Anyone know why lopes is always scratching his adams apple? Is it just a nervous tic?

[@dankjedi9243]

They asked him this in the post fight interview. It's not a tick; it's an injury from childhood that itches while he's fighting. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWKWp5uQo72IhbM

[@waynzignordics]

​@@dankjedi9243 Lol, he literally said "it's a tic that I have" in that video.

[@backroomsdurkio]

​@@waynzignordicsit isnt a conventional tic like poiriers short grab, he said his adams apple gets itchy during fighting.

[@waynzignordics]

​@@backroomsdurkio There's always a "feeling" that prompts the tic -- for Lopes it's an itch, and for Poriere it's "grab the shorts." If you want to understand how tics work, look into the condition called OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). It's the same underlying phenomena.

[@Craig_Doll]

​@@waynzignordics dude Lopez himself said he fell as a kid and his neck got caught in a rope. Now when he sweats the scar gets itchy. You just haven't seen the video

[@danieldaniel4371]

Does lopes have good boxing technique? At least good enough to do well against Volk, max and ilia on the feet?

[@eco4145]

great insight!

[@damianzda4036]

I would love to see some piece with Trevor or just some about Trevor's way of thinking

[@arichardson3689]

Do you think Ortega strikes like that because of his ju jitsu base?

[@shredgod6394]

Not so specific. He strikes like that because he doesn’t train striking enough

[@JCVV22]

*Lopes

[@waynzignordics]

Lopes must be the Brazilian spelling, and Lopez the Mexican spelling.

[@JCVV22]

@@waynzignordics exactly, buts it’s more Portuguese vs Spanish spelling

[@waynzignordics]

​@@JCVV22 Makes sense.

[@enzobegossi7266]

​@@waynzignordicsthere's no such thing as "brazillian" or "mexican" spelling. If my name is John, it'll be John in the UK, in South Africa, Brazil, and wherever you think of

[@waynzignordics]

​@@enzobegossi7266 Eh, no. John in English is John, and Spanish it's Juan. Same name, different spelling because of the language. The OP said it correctly: It's the difference between Portuguese and Spanish.

[@anandmohan1754]

you are the best

[@Cr0ckhunter]

Your fight with umar!

Cory vs O'Malley next, Dana called me

[@sandmanqqrr]

cory, get yan or figgy fight next

[@Utuberj0sh]

Or suga!

[@waynzignordics]

He wants O'Malley. Figgy turned him down, and Yan is "semi-retired." He talked about those three fighters a couple of days ago.

[@ReeseyCupp]

I’m early 💪🏽

[@junebug9516]

Sick

[@RealGigaMind]

For a moment I thought, I was looking at Scott Adkins in the thumbnail.

[@tonybreez2480]

Ortega never had hands never ever ever ever ever had a hands. I don't know why he doesn't take a page out of Jon Jones. A guy that doesn't have hands is to use your Muay Thai elbows and hand fighting to substitute for your lack of boxing skills. The moment he does that he becomes world champion, it becomes harder to get beat. He did that with the Korean zombie and even looked like a world champion against the Korean zombie. Now he thinks he's a boxer Jiu-Jitsu fighter. His opponent showed him that he's not that guy

[@IntuitiveIQ]

O'Malley was hurt, looked terrible, should have let Umar and Merab fight for the interim. 🙄
