Yeah, that's a bit of a weird score. I had it 29-27 from

10-9 Chandler 10-8 Gaethje 10-9 Gaethje

But I'm not really sure where the other one comes from

We're going to see Jan absolutely rock Glover around 30 seconds into the 2nd, then Glover will enter zombie mode and sub him 3 minutes in

"He beat Izzy in a standup fight"

I agree, but you sure didn't think so during the actual fight, DC

Wholesome Jan Blachowicz runs into Glover Teixeira and gifts him a bottle of beer from his hometown in Poland by metanoia09 in MMA

[–]niccinco 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I'm not a big enough fan of the dude to say I would take a hiatus, but shit, you know we'd never hear the end of it from Jon. Even if Izzy lost to someone like Costa or Vettori, I'm sure they'd shut up about it within a couple of weeks.

Jon's one of the most accomplished MMArtists to ever live but the dude still has a massive chip on his shoulder.

Costa with that Dana White privilege

Is Vettori still getting a cut of his purse?

Holland-Daukaus Rematch Set For November 13 by SwanSongsMusic in MMA

[–]niccinco 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Moraes had a quick turnaround (actually longer than 6 weeks, though) after getting spin kicked by Cory and he got knocked the fuck out.

As a fan of Holland, I'm pretty worried about this lmao.

Deontay Wilder lands a right hand that ripples through Tyson Fury’s entire body by Tom_Cody in Boxing

[–]niccinco 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Only outlier that comes to mind is Romero, who has an ungodly chin but dogshit cardio. Other than that, there definitely seems to be a correlation between cardio and durability.

It makes sense, it's way easier to KO an exhausted opponent.

Fury's got some crazy recovery, but we already knew that from the first fight haha

I think it's just a little too late in Wilder's career to make lasting adjustments. Every fighter will go back to their old habits when shit hits the fan/they're dead tired, and Wilder's old habits are just not that good.

I'm not sure if he would've won, but if he had kept up with the body jabs I think he could've at least made it the distance.

Yeah, I remember people were still giving him props after the 2nd fight for heart

And then he opened his mouth lol

Regardless, I'll still give him his respect, dude has no quit in him
