I haven’t wrestled but my guess is the strain on your body at higher weight classes is a big factor. You just can’t sustain that output without ruining your body like Cain. Cardio doesn’t really carry either. He’s not a wrestler, and it was at altitude, but Błachowicz gassed himself out in round one trying to wrestle Poatan this week. It’s difficult to implement.

It feels like age or a higher weight class is the only thing that's going to stop this guy. Hope he makes the Ilia Topuria before going up to challenge Islam again.

Final form Vegereem? He's a legend and it was great watching him compete. He's got nothing to further to prove and I'm happy to see him make proactive steps for his own health but parasites, that sounds a little odd.

As much as I love to watch him fight his personality is hot garbage most of the time. Really cool to hear him say this.

Untitled Goose Game. My partner isn’t really into gaming and we had a blast playing The Quarry has a controller passing coop.

He completely stumped Izzy by simply asking "What about New Zealand?"

I feel the same way. So happy for Francis. Wonder which UFC fighter will be next. I think Fury let’s it go a couple of rounds and has some fun with it before putting Francis away.

Is it possible to get a screenshot of Tweets now that they are all hidden behind a login screen? It's been pretty sad to witness Tony's drop off but I suspect Dan might not be too far off himself. He looked to have found his form against Puelles but Turner is a big challenge.

I’ll still hit that fluorescent any day but now I’ve got some cool trivia to impress my mates with. Thanks.

Split decisions always feel like a robbery to one fighter I imagine. It was close but Jan didn't do enough against the fence or on the ground. It's not enough to hold position anymore.

Hard to watch. When Sandhagen is flowing on the feet it’s a beautiful thing so it was a bummer to be deprived of that. That said, Sandhagen has been mixing groundwork into his recent fights. Font should have prepped for it. It’s clear that he’s preparing for a fight with Merab or Aljo and wants to get those wrestling rounds in.

Spoiler, it was Paul Craig, Tom Aspinall, and FOTN was Jonny Parsons v Danny Roberts

I find Herzog to be the most consistent ref. Seems like an honest mistake. I think the UFC were using the last of McCann’s hometown hype to give Stoliarenko a push. The fact that we’re discussing the finish is gravy.

I’m somewhat surprised by this. I would have thought due to the possibility of jiu jitsu and wrestling outcomes, not purely striking, the percentage would be lower. Could this have something to do with reporting in boxing/bare knuckle?

Poor Usman - they had that highlight ready to go. Bobby Knuckles loves that one too, follow the punch with a shin sandwich.

Pantoja’s dad feeling real guilty rn.

Props to GSP and Khabib for getting out before time got them. Will the three active fighters get out with their records in tact before time claims them also?

I hope we see it soon. Too often in the fight game promoters like to let hype trains build. Let’s see them now and if it’s an awesome fight it builds an even better story if they collide again later in their careers.

Couple of things; uncertain if he’s going to make weight, potential visa issues, putting him on the shelf until a middle eastern card comes up, UFC possibly trying to slow the hype so they don’t wind up with another McGregor on their hands. All of the above?
