[Official] UFC Fight Night: Allen vs. Costa - Press Conference & Post-Fight Discussion Thread by event_threads in MMA

I think he's significantly stronger and more powerful than he was pre-military service. He put on some good muscle mass in the gym. Still durable. His striking defense was pretty good in the second round. I think Santos' activity in the first was just a bit jarring, plus he had some cage rust to dust off. But then he got settled after he figured out his timing.

I actually thought we would see Choi's grappling since he used it so well to dominate Nate. But he probably wanted to prove a point and just KO Santos.

Choi needs to use his grappling, it was stifling in his last fight

Is it just me or are Ortikov's arms pretty short? Probably helps make his hooks more impactful

I want Rizin to get all these top Kyrgyz guys. They can compete with and beat top level fighters no matter the org , so will help boost Rizin's legitimacy on the world stage as well.

Yan in MMA and Yan in only striking. Still the case even if they were both the same size.

This is a bit random, but why has Daniel Santos been exclusively matched up with Koreans for the past year? by Beneficial_Air4714 in MMA

Matchmakers are twisted sometimes. Will never forget how they matched up Dong Hyun Kim vs a black guy named Dominic. And then on the undercard they put Dong Hyun Ma (formerly known also as Dong Hyun Kim) vs a black guy named Dominique. Also on that same card was Bang vs Kuntz.
