[@chris92945]

I have a theory that Marlon Chito Vera has been cursed an ancient spirit that if he throws more than two punches per exchange he will spontaneously combust.

[@R-YR29]

No, see, he never threw strikes until round 3 now he gets paid enough not to throw at all lol

[@ZanZlanz2004]

The curse says the more he throws the worse his chin gets

[@uradeekhead]

He just has a style that doesn’t work at the top of any division. It’s weird. His main mode of victory is more like a plan C for more fighters: catch a late KO. I think his main problem is just being too old to change that mindset

[@bronmill33]

@@uradeekheadhis style when he was younger was much better because he actually threw and moved a lot more, its almost like hes devolved from when he started his career in terms of the way he strikes because now he’s more like a statue

[@uradeekhead]

@bronmill33 Definitely. He used to be a slick distance striker with great power to fall back on. Now it’s like he starts every fight 3 rounds down with no will to continue.

[@SeabraPaulo]

What about Mackenzie Dern? She's easily one of the best on the feet in the entire UFC. No, sorry, I meant, she has some of the best feet in the entire UFC. At least that's what my friend told me.

[@somdutroy]

Your friend had to be a real feet person to even notice her feet during the weigh-in.

[@TheDXJC56]

This is hysterically clever well done 😂

[@aussieflintknapping]

Absolutely gutted we'll probably never get to see O'Malley v Sandhagen. Also absolutely disgusted the UFC will change the event time for the Oil princes but not the U.K fans.

[@vumazwesiziba4103]

relax, after merab beats malley, Sandman is the most obvious fight for sean

[@gerardcurtis3911]

The UFC have never said not been money grabbing. Probably why it's the most successful MMA organisation unfortunately.

[@moonvenerable7897]

It's the fight business the oil money is too lucrative.

[@urbansamurai261]

​@@gerardcurtis3911 they also brought out any competition

[@AwareWolfOnWheels]

Corey would just get slept, Nurmagomedov just fraud checked a journeyman.

[@P.Convenience]

He says next week's card is trash ... I look... Good lord. Trash might be generous

[@stephenhartley2853]

i remember looking but completely forgot who is fighting because it was so shit.

[@Spideythegreat1]

@@stephenhartley2853yeah, the amount of nobodies on there is kinda wild. Out of 10 fights (20 fighters), I recognize 7 fighters. 6 of them are fighting each other. Feel like it’s just the smell left over on garbage day.

[@ignoranceisstrengthpodcast3294]

Umar vs. Cory was the quality of fight that we fans live for. Insanely high level stuff.

[@AlexiusRedwood]

Was it? I only saw Cory fainting at range and switching stances and throwing low kicks

[@TriforceElder08]

It was technical for sure. But the lack of volume or violent moments kinda takes away for me.

[@Snozcumber]

Not enough scrapping for my liking

[@mcspikesky]

I just slowly felt worse for Sandhagen as I realised he had no clue how to get something going.

[@lance-biggums]

Umar's striking looked decent but his grappling was midtly neutralised and Cory fought way too conservatively. It was kinda boring in my opinion.

[@moonvenerable7897]

Not the most exciting fight but very technical from high level fighters a chess battle between them.

[@zainulabidinkhan1793]

Chest

[@majortom331]

The Dana White of losing antitrust fights.

[@justas423]

Cory losing ruined my week. Luckily, it was a Sunday.

[@SohanurRSajib]

wittman is like wtf, just look at him 😅

[@bookaufman9643]

As the UFC has progressed it feels like there are times where a trainer can become pretty dominant and a lot of their fighters will get close to the top or even capture championships. Then they seem to fall off and another trainers' gym becomes dominant for a while. Trevor Whitman seems to be on a bit of a downslide. Khabib though seems to be doing pretty damn good right now but I'm not sure if that's also AKA? It's probably both of them together. I know Khabib stepped back for a while but it feels as if he is sort of more involved now again. This was a difficult fight for me because I'm a really big fan of sandhagen but I am definitely a stan for the Dagestani fighters

[@youngmetroh]

If anything we should thank cory for adding a new chapter to the how to neutralize the dagestani wrestling book

[@rodolfolopez2652]

The daggies have until October to rule the ground

[@majortom331]

More data for the formula.

[@BookBook-yw1kr]

H3 didn't neutralise shit. Umar had little experience, taking a huge jump. Why couldn't cory get up in 5th😂. Bcz Umar was gaining confidence

[@evosteff]

@@BookBook-yw1kr Horrible take. Umar struggled with control time, which is his main weapon. If his striking was really that high level, he wouldn't have focused on the takedowns. Get the D**k out of your mouth

[@714ever8]

[@cjg3986]

I was watching the shara magomadov fight and just couldnt help but think that he looked like slackys perfect fighter, but handicapped by 1 eye and pillow hands

[@andrewstephens8790]

Wut? A dude with bad grappling and game planning who low kicks when his opponent is too close 100% of the time? Which part “looked like slackys perfect fighter”? Are you new? Do you think being exciting = good or something? I mean Jack has been talking about how clearly overrated shara is lol. Wtf are you on

[@cjg3986]

@andrewstephens8790 his grappling looked terrible up until this fight but he seems to have improved there and I swear every other issue he has would be relieved at least a little if he actually had depth perception

[@LupeJustinian]

Why have the MMA GODS decided this fate? I actively rooted against Sandhagen for years until he fought Yan in a matchup where I hated both fighters. Since then, I've rooted for his skill advancement and even figured that karmically, him accepting a rescheduled fight against a difficult matchup when he could have reasonably waited for a title shot, would have meant he was meant to be champion. I even really like Umar and wanted to see him realistically climb up the ranks to No. 1 Contender. Idk. MMA fandom can leave you in a tailspin

[@mavenmaven4513]

Why do you/did you hat Yan and Cory? (genuine)

[@LupeJustinian]

@@mavenmaven4513 I didn't like how smug they both were. Especially when Yan fights so dirty in the cage (even before the Aljo 1 fight) Slackie has a bit about Yan's Three Stooges tier fouls 😂

[@markcorrigan3930]

1:05 perfect

[@lsvbetmachineRU]

I talked to one friend who is also friends with Umar, he said Umar has 120+ Muay Thai fights and sparred some of the best kickboxing/Muay Thai talent in Dagestan, including people who fought in ONE and fought for world titles in amateur kickboxing and national/world titles in Muay-Thai. This explains why the defense from kicks was so good. His parries and leg kick defense (especially when he started picking up the patterns and timings mid round 2 and started doing better) was so impressive! Looked like a really savvy Thai guy who he is. Many people thought if he had Nurmagomedov as a surname he's a Sambo or wrestling student... He's a Thai guy who was wrestling all along. That standup was amazing if you pay attention to details. Nobody made Cory look silly and timid like that.

[@mavenmaven4513]

I have never heard or read anything about Umar having had any Thai fights, only about him winning Sambo championships. I call bs, except you mean "sparring fights" but that is not nearly as impressive, because I kind of wxpect of a top level fighter in the most stacked division to put in hours upon hours

[@door-hinge]

If you knew anything about Umar you'd know he started with Muay Thai, before you pretentiously "call bs"

[@MrBlackmore_]

Vera the only fighter to get worse after learning how to throw a proper jab and starting to use it

Viva La Bantamweight

[@ApeWizard]

Bummed you didn't talk Murzakanov vs Menifield, it was pretty one sided but I really enjoyed it.

[@GrGidley99]

Really excited to see more of Jordan Vucenic. He looked great against a REALLY solid lightweight in Guram.

Anyone got a link to the Abdulmabap single leg takedown seminar that Slacky mentioned?

[@utkarsh2746]

He mentioned Sonny Brown's channel which is a good follow in general. I uploaded the seminar on my channel too, don't quite remember where I found it. Give Brendan Dorman and Dps breakdowns a follow too while you're at it.

[@Al.S.]

He didn't feel comfortable 💯% That's it.

[@bretoncristobal]

Perillo must be the most frustrated coach out there, chito has the skills but just desnt let go, a shame.

[@AwareWolfOnWheels]

Honestly this fight was so boring, 7 days later and I can barely remember it. Hardly a reason to rewatch it either.

[@MrVirtuezzz]

When will fighters stop going to Trevor Wittman

[@uradeekhead]

For real the era is over

[@madgavin7568]

Rose Namajunas regressed after she stopped going to Trevor Wittman.

[@dylan104]

You can't blame this on Trevor lol. He was telling Cory exactly what he needed to do and Cory just wouldn't do any of it. Wouldn't even get his jab going.

[@dinomoviesnstuff]

Cory a little disappointing. But Umar is the real deal. What a performance.

Cory would have won if it was 10 rounds

[@JGAbstract]

Notice me senpai

[@TheRulersBack18]

sandhagen is very good all-around, and, similar to volk's performance vs islam in the first fight, showed exceptional takedown defense and ability to get up...but how many times do we have to watch this movie? whenever he faces someone championship-level, he loses. also, bc he lacks pop in his regular strikes, he has to land spinny shit to actually hurt his opponents. i get it, the technical ability shown in that fight is far superior to anything we've seen above 155 in a while, but fights like that are exactly why casuals don't care about the lower weight classes
