congrats on getting him to listen to you at all tbh

This really eric ? Random vid man lol

[@thatindiandude4602]

​@@dkmma3312it is actually :D

[@DaInternetBear]

At least Strickland ended it early so we didn’t need to watch all 5 rounds

[@seamusgreenmurphy]

Lmao silver lining indeed

[@CallousCarter]

He was trying not to though.

[@znalniaskas]

tbf, Ivanov was in much better shape before he got stabbed (pierced heart and lung), was in a coma for 2 weeks and in the hospital for 3 months, lost like 60 pounds and had to pretty much rebuilt his body. He wasn't Cheick Kongo levels of built, but in decent shape back then.

[@lionelmessisburner7393]

Damn

[@MoovinB]

Great pod Slack. Can’t wait till the standard of mma rises to a point to where fighters like Abus (not good) can stay on the prelims and not headline events.

[@kieran5246]

You know this is gonna be an all timer when even jack has to specify that he’s going moan a lot

[@TheGalavantingGeeza]

That title and thumbnail. Chef's kiss

[@Infinifry55]

But it has to cut to the analyst desk after a quick knockout! Don't you wanna hear from Rashad Evans???

[@andycopland3179]

Can we get a Jack Slack breakdown and analysis of Sean Stricklands next level footwork?

[@MRTN13]

he has feet?

[@andycopland3179]

@MRTN13 rumour has it, they're bringing him in for Lomachenko's next man dance.

[@JRF1004]

Rinat didn’t just “lay” on Bryan Battle he beat the fuck out of him he had like three 10-8 rounds

[@JamJam24111]

Tbf to Chandler He is like 5 years older than Justin, Charles & Dustin. Likely makes a huge difference and they were all close fights.

[@jackslack7786]

When he was their age he was losing to Brent Primus and then laying on him in the rematch

[@MrBlackmore_]

Abus is truly champ material, three fights win streak, with a guy who’s 0-1 in his pro record, another random dude, and one of the trashest fighters at middleweight in 20 seconds, got Ko’d by 42 years old louis taylor lmao, turning his back and walking back to the cage and covering up while praying god to survive, WTF absolute worst shit ever, other than that the card had good fighters, saint denis vs bonfim, guram vs brener, damir vs dawson

[@YouShookItThreeTimes]

I agree especially Brener looked hella impressive!!!

[@kieronknight2560]

@@YouShookItThreeTimesfr Guram could easily be top 15 maybe even top 10 and brenner was 40 seconds away from winning the first before showing minus defence, and then later put it on him in the third and stayed composed, only 25 as well

[@jrams4145]

Yep. It's this one right here. The fight that broke the middleweight timeline

[@connieworroll368]

Vettori vs Strickland for the gatekeeper point fighters with an abrasive personality belt 🔥🔥

[@bongerman42069]

With respect to Strickland and Magomedov, Chris Curtis gave some really good corner advice about doubling up shots and the openings and he was 100% right and Strickland caught the chin and he looked like he gassed more because he was rocked and trying to hold his shiz together. 🤷‍♂️

[@heatseeker6104]

Elves Brener is someone to watch out for. 15-3 at 25 years old with 11 submissions and 2 TKOs including the one we just saw. If he improves his cardio and defense, he could be the next Charles Oliveira. He already has better wrestling and sweeps. And he still has time to improve.

[@thenedsmmachannel8970]

His cardio is already great. Better defense and offensive technique

[@Halbumen]

his cardio is awesome though! i agree about his defence but it's always hard to convince someone with an immortal chin to learn it. at least he makes up for it by being insanely aggressive like a good chute boxe boi so he'll be fun for as long as it lasts. i can't wait tbh he's fun as hell

[@heatseeker6104]

@@thenedsmmachannel8970 He seemed a bit slower in the 2nd round but I guess that's cause he was getting hit. I agree with the defense and offensive technique.

[@heatseeker6104]

@@Halbumen His cardio in round 2 was a bit suspect but he seemed fresh in the 3rd round. He could be the next Oliveira with better defense. I can see it happening.

[@__Rum-Ham__]

Thank God we have 2 banger fights topping the card this weekend after what seems like years of mid fight nights.

[@captain_malaria]

This did not age well. Worship your new champion, D'Sean Strickland.

[@jigsawkid95]

Kevin Lee’s comeback was one of the funniest things in mma in ages

[@executiverobbery]

Most middleweights have the takedown defense of a straw house.

[@jezebulls]

I’m wondering if the elevation will mess with Porier. I hope he gets there early so his body gets acclimated.

[@seanc7990]

I think you misremember the rinat bryan battle fight, rinat was cutting him open with elbows and dropped him in the 3rd round, battle got 10-8ed every round, even if he threw some strikes off his back he had no chance of winning

[@TheRulersBack18]

while we don't have to pay attention to anyone who thinks michael chandler is far superior to guys like kutateladze and ismagulov, with fiziev losing to gaethje, guram losing to brenner, damir losing to dawson, and tsarukyan struggling early vs silva, should probably cool off on declaring these guys the top of the class. chandler got his spot by beating dan hooker and has somehow stayed in the top 5 (and i agree that he shouldn't be there and isn't on that level), but oliveira, poirier, and gaethje are all really good and have proved it multiple times over

[@TheLocalFuzz]

Ivanov's win over Fedor is much like Gardner over Karelin. It didn't teach us anything about Ivanov, but how Fedor was no longer sharp enough to overcome someone playing the game.

[@gurtajsinghmahal2011]

This cant be happening. Sean strickland on the verge of title shot

[@jezebulls]

Oi Oi it’s your boi from the Slack Gang. What an exciting card witnessing some fraud checks 😊

[@GKJusticar55]

If I may, I’d like to share some thoughts on Conor/Chandler TUF. It’s kind of embarrassing how Conor looks like the meme version of himself. Across all the fights, his coaching is “Beau’iful shoh’”, “Put le’ther in ‘im” and some other non-descript shit. Meanwhile we got to see the Bellator Chandler coaching of “settle”, which means essentially “blanket and suffocate people” which absolutely worked every single time. The other funny thing is how Conor tries to force his will on the format of the show and on the judges by complaining that the fights are not three rounders. Why not put your foot down with Dana BEFORE the show and demand three round fights? I understand why they are two rounds. What I don’t understand is why don’t you, as a coach, train your fighter SPECIFICALLY for two rounds? All the Chandler fighters were firing on all cylinders right from the start, so I guess they realized they needed to work within the constraints of that. Another thing, a shirt was a good look when Conor coached against Urijah. An ever changing three piece suit looks just goofy and horribly out of place. PS. It was great to see Timur Valiev go crazy for six minutes.

[@WtfIsLigma]

TUF sucks now and it won't get better until they actually bring on real prospects. For the past few seasons, TUF has just been a collection of 'meh' fighters who didn't show enough promise to just get straight up signed to the promotion. This is just made incredibly apparent in this season with the jobber UFC retirees absolutely smashing the prospects. It's not that the veterans are really good, the prospects just absolutely suck, there was that dude who couldn't even throw a straight punch to throw his life. TUF for the past few years has been these medicore guys battling it out for their chance to massively underperform in the UFC, hang around near the middle of the division with mixed/poor success to then eventually retire/get cut unceremoniously.

[@GKJusticar55]

@@WtfIsLigmaOh absolutely. I was actually more interested in how Conor carried himself than anything. Gotta say, the show itself makes the fights moderately more interesting than some of the atrocious DWCS ones, which with no context are atrociously boring.

[@WtfIsLigma]

@@GKJusticar55 Yeah no absolutely agree with everything you said. Sorry, I realise my reply had nothing to do with what you said. I just saw you were bashing TUF and thought there's always room for one more when it comes to bashing TUF haha. I think it's only slightly more interesting than DWCS because of the dramatic slow motion shots of jabs that barely landed. DWCS can't even put in the effort to convince you that the fights are interesting.

[@GKJusticar55]

@@WtfIsLigma oh god now that you remind me, the funniest thing is the slow mo.

[@CallousCarter]

Uncle Chael's line a while back about Conor becoming a rich little weirdo is so spot on.

[@ben9262]

How sad were you when Sean won Jack? Lol

[@Halbumen]

slackmeister, i think guram just gassed tbh: he was a late booking and poured it out at the end of the round trying to elbow brener into the earth's core. he seemed to be in survival mode by the third and in the exchange immediately before the neck punch he got hit with an almighty body shot to which he reacted really really badly. suspect he was one good hit away from his body giving out and that last left was the clincher

[@somethingclever4563]

[@bidenonabender5903]

even tho i am really happy about sean winning i must say i give abus the benefit of the doubt and say he wasn't all there and that probably wasn't his best form! we tend to asume that fighters are at 100% when they enter the cage but just like everyone of us a fighter can have a bad day, a headache, maybe even anxiety attack... it's always easy to see a fighter and say "he is just shit" but we actually never know what is going on with his body or mind. this gets even worse considering the "no excuses" culture MMA has developed, i also don't like fighters making excuses but if you actually have a excuse you also should be allowed to voice it! maybe abus has a bad gastank, but it is just as if not more plausible that he had a bad day! just for my egoistic hope of good fights in the future i will say this wasn't abus final form! :)

[@BombsAF]

Jiri Prochazka had a bad day and became world champion. for some, a bad day makes them quit. for others, it just makes them have to work way harder than usual, but they do it anyway
