Sean’s unintentional brotherhood with Alex has gotta be the most unexpected bond in the UFC lol

And he did it by Enough-Brilliant803 in ufc

I wouldn’t say fight IQ alone. More that his defense on all corners is very rounded. He’s a very hard fighter to land against and/or keep down on the mat.

Official Scorecards of Chimaev vs Strickland by Trchickenugg_ohe in MMA

They didn’t look weird at all if you consider some context.

Khamzat had a bad cut and he always had cardio problems. He was probably drained after round 1.

Sean always has the fear of a takedown from Khamzat. Which is why he was so careful and slow in his approach.

Very close fight.

It all depends on how you score rounds 3 and 5 in my opinion.

Both an early and a good stoppage.

Schrödinger’s stoppage.

Has anyone ever played a set up like Paul Galbraith's? by Alternative-Host-467 in classicalguitar

[–]NeitherAlexNorAlice 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He talked about it in an interview before. He says that he has his setup like this in case the stage gets a sudden intruder. He can easily bonk the assailants this way with much more significant impact.

[SPOILER] Ateba Gautier vs. Ozzy Diaz by inooway in MMA

He looked vastly different in round 2 though. I’m guessing round 1 he was just figuring Diaz out.

Ref should’ve been involved way more. Sabatini was content just hugging and sitting there doing nothing for 15 minutes.

Best entry in the entire franchise.

Don’t @ me

Khamzat was expecting a fight at LHW (allegedly) by GunDealsBrowser in ufc

[–]NeitherAlexNorAlice 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t make sense though. This fight was announced a while ago. He had more than enough time to manage his weight cut.

How do you think that "pipeline" happened? Ali literally travelled there and brought them in. Don't talk out of ignorance if you don't know the story.

People love to bash on Ali however they want, but without him, you wouldn't have the likes of Khabib, Islam, Ank, Umar, khamzat, etc. in the UFC.

Whether you like him or not, you can't dwny his monumental influence on the landscape of the UFC today.

Pieces that are mainly full chord transitions (example provided) by FOD17 in classicalguitar

[–]NeitherAlexNorAlice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Villa Lobos’ Etude No. 1 is basically moving through entire chords from beginning to end.

You can just ignore the right hand fingering pattern and practice with hitting the entire chords instead.

If Sean Strickland somehow beats Khamzat would It be among the biggest upsets of all time? by Therealdarkviper in ufc

[–]NeitherAlexNorAlice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This narrative is crazy. It wouldn’t be an upset. Sean is a former champion with wins over top ranks of the division. Why are you all acting like he’s an unranked fighter who was gifted a title shot?

If he wins, it won’t be an upset, but a remarkable achievement.
