figgy caught a stray at the start 💀LOL

[@GurusAnnoyingBeardHair]

Not rlly a stray. Turning down a high level fight as a former champion is… disappointing. Why would he be afraid… poor Figgy don’t got the spirit anymore

[@danielbras5123]

@@GurusAnnoyingBeardHairWhat does that fight do for Figgy that Yan doesn’t. Pretty sure that’s the matchup gunning for and it stylistically works better for him

[@GurusAnnoyingBeardHair]

@@danielbras5123 I think Yan is more dangerous than Cory, especially for a dude like Figgy, who is so well rounded. Yan is just a faster version of him. And cory doesn’t have enough power in his hands to really ‘dog walk’ Figgy like I think Yan can. Don’t get me wrong I’ll be going for figgy bc he’s fun lmao but I don’t like the odds

[@danielbras5123]

@@GurusAnnoyingBeardHair Cory gives a range issue, is much more willing to wet blanket and still is durable with high level striking. In a 3 rounder I think Yan may be more dangerous it is a better match up on a purely technical side, doesn’t heavy wrestle, doesn’t strike at range, plays into figgys game well and is coming off a win

if youre watching this, youre probably a bit above casual, at least intellectually. Cory's analysis is like "theres tons of movement and interplay even inbetween strikes" and then true Casual guys say stuff like "herp derp, wrestle is boring"

Thank you for calling for Omalley immediately. He just said hes taking a 9 month- 1 year break but I believe he's going to get the itch sooner then he thinks. Real talk you and Omalley can headline a PPV no belt on the line, its a real fan favorite fight. Love being a fan of both of you amazing fighters haha I won't be able to bet against either just going to enjoy the show!

Yeah he needs a year long wrestling/ grappling camp if he has any hope of getting back in the mix. Too many high level grapplers around in every division gotta adapt

[@ciaracet0716]

Figueiredo turning your down makes alot of sense: he wont be able to take you down and he struggled with Morenos striking so the prospect of fighting yourself wouldnt be too appealing.

[@OnMicMMA]

Figgy is no dummy, Sandhagen wants to stay busy which is of course bad ass af. but Figgy understands the need for timing, I still respect him and I don't think hes ducking anyone, just timing. I am sure we will find out soon who he is going to fight next. This mu would be great.

Merab also kept his arms real high, not just his hands but his whole arms. Hard to find a sniper shot through that - it makes sense that the body kick landed under that defense. Maybe he could have found that sooner (or would in the future). Would love to see Cory vs O'Malley!!!

In a world full of negativity and toxicity, Merab's and Aljo's relationship is a breath of fresh air. It is so special to watch and runs deep. These men are bonded by an intense love and genuine affection. So rare and we need more of this in this society. They have spent countless hours in the gym sweating in eachother. They cry together. They go to war together. And now they can finally embrace and rejoice together as world champions.

Cory vs Sean gonna be 🔥🔥🔥

[@OnMicMMA]

Thanks man. On the feet merab reminds me of khabib. Thing is Merab is gunna be better next time, these weird leg kicks are gunna turn into other stuff slowly. Think about khabib, he would sit back and do the jittery thing, but when the time was right a flying knee or insane winging overhand that looks like a TD, not just a shot every time, and when its not a shot it is an attack you are FORCED to respect. If he had that tool he would of been more dominate, but without it his pace is less impactful so Omalley didn't really get tired. I can see the slight improvements he is taking in this direction. Can you do a breakdown on Merab vs Umar.... This is a complex one, you have such good insight. Please?
