Psssh looked like he moved in
All that goofy shyt Coker was talking
Bosses at Viacom probably hit the 
when he said he was passing
This dummy, dude let Horiguchi walk, cut Brandon Moreno after 2 losses when they were dumping all of the flyweights, and traded DJ for Askren's corpse and now he's acting like the UFC made FW exciting. The division has always been dope, they just promoted it loke shyt.

I never felt like Tony really had a chance against Khabib. Tony lacked the power to keep Khabib from taking him down. Despite what a lot of people say it would have been an easy win for Khabib.

Yeah, I feel like Khabib didn't have the intimidation factor back then. His wrestling gained such an aura that dudes began to get progressively more timid when exchanging on the feet to avoid the TD.
That's not to say his striking didn't improve (cause it did) but I do think Tony had a much better chance a few years back
It's not that relevant now though, in most peoples' eyes Khabib won the war without there even having to be a battle.

i don’t know breh, he wasn’t really rolling like a black belt. Who knows maybe that strength played a big factor but I didn’t see the black belt put up much of a fight.

everybody hates that shyt but it really effects people who stand too tall, rigid or fight flat footed. But especially people that throw their whole body into their jabs.

i noticed every time Jac got a hold of his limbs, holland went right for the top of his head with vicious elbows, it made Jac let go. he let go like 2-3 times. he made him pay for trying to grapple. yeeesh. Grapplers and wrestlers looking at this like

Strength definitely. That guy has almost 200 lbs on him and has the deadlift record. Bjj is very effective but not magic so someone like that get side control issa wrap. Experienced ones will know to avoid that shyt and wear him down. Upper body subs would be hard to pull off this mf neck the size of a trunk
Probably go for the leg locks.
Remember Bob sapp almost broke nogueira's neck using pure strength and that's a world class 230 lbs athlete/jiu jitsu wiz. So he had to adapt there to take him out. But again these people like sapp and haftor are genetic anomalies so their strength way above what the majority encounter so much so its own martial art
Not sloppy like yarborough just raw power
Its all about adapting and using what works
