It proves my point though that he does not want to stand up with guys. He wouldn't have held on to that TD otherwise.
He was rocked after the first shot which is why he just continued to take them. Maybe even flash knock out
He still didn't look all the comfortable once they started trading.
Idk about his comfort level in the striking, but he got the better of the brief exchanges against Blaydes. I agree about his Fight IQ being spotty, but I think this was a problem with him not respecting Blaydes grappling defense after throwing him around for the entire first round.
Nobody has done that to Blaydes or any other HW before... 9/12 on takedowns.
Also it’s crazy how nobody brings up Blaydes blatantly grabbing the fence when he was fully elevated to slow his momentum in the slam. Referee was absolutely awful this fight.
