[@pranakhan]

It felt, to me, that Vera went in there expecting to fight the same guy he did last time. But O'Malley's evolution has been subtle, in that he hasn't changed his style. O'Malleyhas just gotten better at every part of his game since that first fight.

[@Mattisin]

Catch kick, rotate to center, dart in while they are regaining balance. Absolutely perfect for you.

Hey Stephen. Do you have any advice for slipping? What are feet doing? What is the weight distribution on the feet? For the front foot is it the big toe or the mid foot? For the back foot is it the heels? Midfoot? Are you supposed to pivot your feet as you slip? If so which way do you pivot? How much do you pivot? Which foot do you pivot? Do you squat down? How far? For someone who is short do they squat lower or move their body higher? How about the direction we pivot (assuming there is a pivot)? I gotta work on defense so any tips for slipping/rolling would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

[@meatball6930]

Chito was just done from that knee. Something broke in there. It wasn’t his chin it was the face and if you really look at his face you can see something doesn’t look right on that side. He started covering later because Sean knew it and was nonstop tagging it and even launched that bomb at the area and broke his hand. If Chito would tell the truth he’d say he was done from there and was terrified of taking more shots to that spot. When something goes bang,pop,crack in your body it’s in your mind and has effect on you either way-either it freezes you with fear or makes you hurry up and attack. When you live the street life or prison and it happens you get nasty and gruesome fast or you might get killed-you don’t have time to worry about it-just shut the part of your brain and body off because you could die. Fighting for survival with no rules is big difference and need quicker thinking of what scares a man and cripple him with it. I doubt Sean all the time but he is getting better. I know inside it bothered him that he tagged this guy all night but didn’t put him out-that’s frustrating and a bit of a nightmare of giving a guy all you can and he’s still there. Sean will try and work on that because he could be in trouble in 4-5th round with a guy that takes it but comes at him when he’s tired.

Wonderboy Vs MVP sounds really appealing right now.

[@johnchristophehaslam]

Based on stats Tom Aspinall is currently best striker in ufc. In the 32 tables ranking 4050 fighters over 30 years by objective measurable skills and achievements Tom 1,1,1,1,3,4. He has best striking differential of 4.95, shortest av fight time of just over 2 mins, least bottom position time and least bottom position percentage, 3rd most strikes per min and 4th most knockdowns per 15 mins. If he met the 350 strike threshold, he would be 2nd to overeem in the sig strike accuracy and if he met the 20 takedown defence threshold would be 1st over Arce and JBJ. He has needed just 17 strikes on average per fight in the ufc to gain his 7 victories and one injury loss. 2= are GSP, Oliveira and Jim Miller with three firsts each. However, while Tom's victories are all ratios and percentages that show the best this moment so if he loses a match over 3 rounds by takedowns and being outstruck in one match he would lose all his 1st positions, the other three greats could lose 5 fights each in whatever way you can imagine and keep each of their records until someone supersedes them. GSP most control time, most top time and most takedowns. Oliveira most finishes, most submissions and most fight night bonuses. Miller most fights most wins and most takedown attempts. Legacy records over a career. You have to be truly outstanding at the moment to keep average, ratio and percentage records. Almeida holds two of these with most top position % and control time %. If a strikers job is to hit and not get hit - strike diff, takedown defence, least bottom pos time OR to be a devastating fighter - shortest fight time, fast strikes p min, fastest knockdowns p min (on ufc stats these are knockouts) then these attributes should be applied to others in the running. O Malley has 3 entries on the statleader tables with 4th,8th,9th and is probably next best striker by these criteria. He appears in the top ten tables with 7th best sig strike accuracy at 61.2%, 9th fastest average strikes p minute and the 4th best striking differential at 3.89. OK, not as many entries as Tom and certainly no firsts. What about his average fight time? Out of his 11 ufc fights he has 4 decisions, 1 loss and 6 KO/TKOs. In other words he has 54% finish rate with KO/TKO. Tom Aspinall has an 88% finish rate and 63% KO/TKO rate. O'Malley has required 991 strikes in 11 fights and absorbed 317, absorbing an average of 29 strikes per fight. Tom has absorbed an average of 6 strikes per fight and needed only 17 per fight to beat opposition.

[@chrisnichols8624]

Why is Wonderboy's upper lip all red? Is it usually like that?

[@jayceecee8651]

Not sure exactly what is going on with that. He doesn't always have it, as seen in his ad promo in the beginning of this video. However, he has had several videos with redness on his mustache area. It maybe from a breathing apparatus or he gets irritated easily. Fair skin, everything is noticeable.

Hey Stephen, what is it that prevents a fighter like Chito to not push forward into close range while getting smashed at distance? It would seem like a natural reaction to move in to reduce the power and snap coming your way. Does it become almost an involuntary reaction to stay back so you can try to see where the threat is coming from and avoid it? It just seems strange to remain at the end of punch range with a guy like O’Malley and eat shot after shot after shot. At some point I would think you just blitz in and do anything but do what Chito did for 25 minutes. Strange.

[@alfieday6896]

When he blitzed he got dropped to one knee by the same counter that TKO'd Sterling, that probably has something to do with it.

[@MorrowProduction]

People talking about that body shot like it was a fight ending punch have just not watched combat sports enough lol. When people get hit by a GOOD body shot, you drop instantly, you don't walk around for 15-20 then slowly sit down on the canvas and breath. No, you keel over and hold your side on the spot, in almost every example of a body shot finish we have in the UFC, the person crumbles like a beer can almost instantly from the time they take the body shot.

Also sugar kept it at range and held on to kicks to jump away. And chito hitting air and couldnt close the gap because of flat feeted back leg and only knew to cover up never reading momentum. Got hyped without landing. Coming out dirty way too late, stopped again. Oh yeah and sugar didnt have to move back. Broke his hand hitting chito's covering up.

Future Welter Weight champ

[@HoboGardenerBen]

Sure looks to be the most technical striker in the sport right now. The Merab fight is his true test, I will be surprised if Sean wins but the dude is amazing so anything is possible. I get the feeling Payton Talbott is much more of a naturally gifted fighter than Sean and if they fight Sean will lose. Payton is fearless and gameful and has amazing form. I get the feeling Suga isn't gifted, just incredibly hard working. Jon Jones showed what happens when a gifted fighter is the only one in the division, he smoked almost everyone so easily. The bar has risen so high though, so that level of domination is less likely. I think Sean would be technically superior to Payton in their fight and still lose. It's all vibe now, I can't back it up with technical ideas. But I was completely right about Ilia doing the same thing since watching him beat Ryan Hall. I knew he would be the future champ, especially before the Bryce fight, had weird dreams about him the night before that fight. I think Ilia might dominate for a long time, become one of the greatest. I don't get that feeling about Sean at all. Totally cool with him proving me wrong, I am lifelong fan of the martial arts so him proving me wrong would be badass to see.
