Also easier and quicker just to learn defensive grappling than offensive grappling. Izzy became a champ that way and so did Whittaker. But Izzy is a better example for Pereira since they have the same base both coming from kickboxing.

Moving up is harder when you move past your natural weight and start going in to fights around your natural walk around weight. Pereira moved down in order to fight Izzy and potentially be double champ. His walk around weight is HW, his ideal fighting weight is LHW. So HW would be the hardest...

They didn't make the fight happen because it was Pereira's last fight on the contract. They didn't want an Ngannou situation so they didn't want to reward Pereira an opportunity to win the title and leave and discrediting Glory's HW title in the process with whoever wins the vacant belt.

Here's a tip for Valentina. Switch out the spinning back kick to a spinning wheel kick. They won't be able to sidestep a wheel kick. Also don't throw the spinning back kicks naked anymore. Set them all up and throw it with a combo. Also work more pure boxing. Muay thai and kickboxing level...

It depends on the fighter using that strategy. It works for certain fighters. Like Gaethje, it works for his fighting style to fight like that as well.

I agree. These are things I mentioned after their fight. I also think it's too soon Izzy needs more time to make adjustments and to add to his game. Usman losing again to Leon in an instant rematch is an example of what may also happen with Izzy.

Nah Pereira doesn't point fight, so there will be many moments in the fight with some action. Even if Izzy tries to avoid engagement, Pereira won't allow him to do it all fight.

Really it would be very telling of CKB if they aren't able to figure out what adjustments to make. There may be a limit with that gym just like some other mma gyms.

He tried that in their last fight, Pereira just kept cutting him off and trapping him against the cage. Also that fight with Duran he was out of shape and not training, also overweight and partying/drugs/alcohol. That's really why that fight looked like that. His manager agreed to the fight...

She would've made more in mma than in WWE. She doesn't mix well with the WWE stars as well, they talk shit about her all the time for getting fast tracked and her mic skills. But it's probably better for her mentally. She didn't handle her losses well so she's probably better off in WWE for her...

Yeah he struggles with the weight. Also the fighters know he's really a MW and not a WW. He's just trying to be double champ so he's trying to fight at WW for the title and move up. But his build doesn't seem to be able to handle the WW weight. But seems like UFC/Dana understands this as well so...

Probably underestimated their grappling so wasn't focused on it in the fights. Just like what happened with Ortega and Yair. Because of their grappling pedigree they assume that fighters without a grappling pedigree wouldn't attempt subs on them.

That's how it is in most cities/states as well. It's always the urban and downtown areas that's the most dangerous. Move towards the suburbs with higher property value and things get safer overall.

Izzy should be used to it by now though. He watches anime, he should be used to people not being into the same things he is. Most people don't even know what anime is. It's just like people being into DC and Marvel comic books and graphic novels before it became huge movie universes. Most people...

LOL these gifs are classics. Chuck shadow boxing while watching a fight live as well haha

Like anything else it's all in the timing and reading strikes. Hands up or hands down doesn't really matter. Fighters get knocked out with their hands up too if they don't fully block the strikes. Most just put their hands up to try and block most strikes. That's what most do when they are not...

It's the trolling. His serious face makes it funnier though because he's just emotionless while he's trolling. Glover is doing the dialogue for him so it's a perfect mix. Pereira emotionless while Glover is cracking jokes.

He gets a lot of regional support and UFC saw that first hand during their events in overseas. So they put some focus on him and got great results again when they had another show. So they are now putting the UFC hype machine behind him. He seems to be a big star where he from. They really...

That happens a lot with male celebs. Depends on the type of women really. A lot are after the bag. False allegations for a settlement, getting pregnant for child support, marriage/divorce are some of their hustles. Got to check the character on the women, their lifestyle/work etc will paint the...

He definitely has a handler or handlers now. They have been redoing his PR and public image since he came back. It's actually working as well, his fight sold over a million and Jones is back to being a fan favorite.
