He should’ve tried it earlier like y’all are saying but Justin’s takedown defense is the best in the division. Idk if that’s why he didn’t earlier or if it was pride or that dumbass Just Bleed mentalityexactly. no level changes, just 5 rounds of him getting caught by counters. Imanari roll attempt shouldve came in the earlier rounds, or a regular ass takedown attempt/trip which undoubtedly throws gaethje off balance.
Pride hinders greatness
it maybe his base but he hasnt really had to use it in the UFC. he's been in brawl after brawl b4 tonight. Ferg watched old gaethje tape and refused to abandon thatJustin a wrestler, its arguably his base. shyt was probably gonna be ugly there too.
When mentally on point I dont think Tony can beat this version of justin. its really a miracle he made it this far
You don’t come back from that type of beating. Tony will never be the same.But on the real, I think Tony can bounce back. But he probably needs to take the rest of the pandemic off to recover from that ass beating.
Tony has 10th planet bjj, perfectly made for Justin, a stiff wrestler, and he didn't show it once.Justin a wrestler, its arguably his base. shyt was probably gonna be ugly there too.

Right. I was just exaggerating but I don't think that narrative has done them any good. They start to rely on that too much and then some nights you'll fight someone who can keep up and won't stop punishing you. What good is being able to go 5 rounds, when you've taken 100 shots to the head and you lack the focus in the last round to finishI got Hawaiian roots but yeah you right, Like I said earlier.. having an elite chin can be More of a detriment than a positive, especially in MMA.
This is the levels of when Mayweather beat the shyt outta Gatti
WhatTony fukking up is making us forget a man was killed earlier
Khabib is a different beast altogether but Gaethje is a former Division 1 All American, he can wrestle just doesn't use it in his fights.hows this dudes ground and pound game ? cuz you know thats khabib bread and butter
shyt even long term.. James Toney has 0 KO Losses in 90 motherfukken fights.. and he can barely form a coherent sentenceRight.
