[@hexstaticloonatic4194]

Mate you've been doing this job on every video. May I ask why? Don't get me wrong, I am one hundred percent grateful to you for it. Just wondering what makes you stick to it with such rigor! Anyhow, cheers mate and thank you for your oh so wonderful timestamps

[@jackslacktimestampplaylist]

@@hexstaticloonatic4194 For two main reasons, the first most important one is I can label all the cool technical stuff Jack points out and Ive always wanted a way to be able to look them up, and second I have created a massive playlist with all of JAcks podcasts and the timestamps are like a table of contents

[@organicenergy5124]

Bless ❤

[@maskoolio5824]

Legend.

[@RobBrens]

I never tire of seeing a time stamp labeled "blessing"

[@tsurutajumbo]

Finally, now we can leave 2023 behind

[@ifgodwasapig]

Be careful what you wish for 2024 has the potential to be much worse

[@PinsCombat]

Giving a light heavyweight fighter a fighter of the year award, feels like affirmative action.

[@PinsCombat]

Should have given it to Mario Bautista

[@DaInternetBear]

Sandhagen wasn't a bad shout, guy has really become much more methodical in his approach to fights

[@loganwheeler1734]

🤣🤣

[@PinsCombat]

@@DaInternetBear Not been watching mma for that long, But Cory, is my favourite fighter to watch at the moment

ITS HEREEEE!! jacks been edging us for a whole month

[@elmers2005]

😂

[@GreenBastard646]

I was getting so full, I didn’t know how much longer I would last

[@matthewmelange]

The 2023 Gameplan of the Year Award goes to illegally kneeing your downed opponent so hard that when asked where they are they answer "the desert" in their non-native language and then getting DQ'd & having the fight rescheduled 3 weeks later so you get 2x show money & 1x win money. Those Russians are crafty...

[@BlimeyOreiley]

The Faber joke was lush.

[@jugo1944]

It was extremely unkind and v funny haha

[@DaInternetBear]

What's that? Amanda Nunes got technical turnaround for learning to fight out of southpaw instead of dealing with a jab?

[@M4ttz8]

2024 has now officially started

[@edibaber5525]

I should've never doubted you jack 🙌

[@elmers2005]

Still came out sooner than the 2023 work bonus.

[@theshadiest7109]

It's not a bonus when you're underpaid.

[@KDawgMcG]

My body is ready.

[@Chente_Bui]

Amazing Uriah joke

[@MrEyesof9]

Thanks for the content Sir Slackster Jack!

[@zwryy7622]

Good thing this wasn't late at all :)

[@therealclp7488]

Ji-yeon Kim had a banger vs Cachoeira, one of my favorite WMMA fights. I’ll never forget Cachoeira spamming the elbows

[@lutherblissett9070]

Ji Yeon Kim's IG post was brilliant 😂

[@Domypopschannel]

This is my Super Bowl

[@mambatoddy]

161 is the bus I take to go to work

[@johnwatson984]

My boi Khalil has made it

[@HappyAccident06]

Just when I cared least, he came through!!!!

[@anarchrex2237]

It's my birthday and this is a very thoughtful gift, Thank you Jack!

[@therealclp7488]

I think we all know that JDM deserves the “But Why?” Award, right?

[@fofopho]

Move if the year might be the advances in k guard. Combat arcades piece of that was pretty eye opening.

[@thekevinfoster]

Great video. Could be cool, but I honestly doubt it gets picked up a ton by other fighters

[@organicenergy5124]

Let’s fukn go!!!!❤

[@talkingfights]

[@somguy5035]

[@TheRulersBack18]

27:50 - did jack forget that we had pereira vs strickland?

[@harticus300]

If you go back about 15 seconds you'll hear the word rematch.

[@jonjack5819]

Whats the difference between a front kick (or a snap front kick) and a teep?

[@bostoncrab4pple]

I could be wrong and hopefully someone can correct me, but I think the teep is bringing up the leg and then pushing in with the toes/hip to dig at the opponent and potentially unbalance them from range, whereas a front snap kick is bringing up the knee (towards the outside?) and then snapping the foot out from the knee to do damage and potentially sneak inside defences

[@hexstaticloonatic4194]

I think the teep is meant to push the opponent away, so a much more "laboured/slow" kind of movement. Front kick is an actual kick sent with snap, meant not to push but actually hit/strike. Think the movement is the same, it's the application/speed/snappiness of the movement that is different. Also teeos are generally aimed at the body as they are meant to push, while a front kick has valid targets both on the body and face as it is meant to actually hit with impact so to speak. But I could be wrong, don't take my word for it.

[@stillmyboy6708]

Yeahh think of Jonathan Haggerty for a teep, whereas front kick is more O’mally and even what Strickland was doing to Adesanya when he had him against the fence. Teep is like ‘fuck off get away’, meanwhile front kick is ‘I’m gonna jab my toes into your belly until you cry or are exhausted’

[@hexstaticloonatic4194]

​​​@@stillmyboy6708would Strickland's vs Adesanya be considered a snap kick more than a teep? Felt like a range finder or distance manager more than something meant to hurt. Not very "snappy" either. Asking as a relative amateur to understand better, cos in my head I thought of Strickland's in that match as teeps, even though they didn't have the full "muay thai level of pushing" in them

[@jonjack5819]

@@stillmyboy6708 okay yeah thinking of how o'malley uses a front kick compared to haggerty or alot of muay thai fighters use a teep makes sense

[@MurraysVlogCast]

🤙🥳

[@TheZgriffin]

Timestamps or chapters for the awards would be awesome for next year.
