Hate to say it but I think Kelvins done.

that askren fight was a wwe match so :manny:


When will a pure boxer ever step foot in the octagon? At least the mma fighters try.

He’s not leaping in because KG is not 6’3 like Aldesanya Cruz

I remember hearing Cruz say that last night and thinking "Who TF lunges in like that when they've got a significant height/reach advantage? :dahell:"

Whitaker did that same shyt versus Till. Till just isn't the same caliber counterstriker that Adesanya is and couldn't take advantage.

I agree Robert needs to find better openings instead of that lunge forward... work the angles and def open up with kicks. Which is what he does.. Izzy is just that good...

Idk... That shove couldn't injury him.

Bruh look at how he had his hands tied behind his back. That extends and locks your shoulders in a way that can tear or injure some shyt if someone randomly pushes you as hard as they can while you’re relaxed. Put both your hands behind your back at the waist the way that he’s doing and feel how tense you get around the collarbone, back, and shoulder areas. That move is a legit yoga pose to help stretch those areas, but if someone pushes you while you’re stretching you can easily get hurt.

I think Gastelum needs a fresh start elsewhere. He barely made 170 when he fought there but there’s also not a lot of contenders at 170.

Whitaker has gotten better since the Izzy fight but Izzy still sparks him.
