Hugely impressive performance from Souza in subbing Tofiq Musaev. A guy like him who's prepared to pull guard and throw up quick and decisive sub attempts is always going to be exciting to watch. The way he quickly threw up the triangle and had the angle and pressure before Tofiq had a chance to react was Charles Oliveira like.
I really need to see him Vs Shinya Aoki somehow.

My favourite thing about Kai is that he's just fucking violent. There aren't many fighters in the world with the raw aggression and intent to hurt people that Kai has. The way he was throwing bombs on Watanabe from guard to get the stoppage it seemed like there was a willingness to kill if need be. Anything I say about Kai is probably a bit biased because I'm a huge fanboy of his, but I thought it was a great performance.
Still my boy.
