I go from “working” to working when that happens lol
lol
when Dayana got the takedown, why she try to improve position immediately? what happened to viciously grinding your opponent out in hip-ride, like Igor Vov used to?
then go for the submission when they just want to die to make it stop
I missed that and most of the fight but VU anyways for any Igor V reference
lol nice one. Vov is a legend.
must admit, an article about alleged cheating in a chess match distracted my attention from the later rounds of this one. chess lol
shit
didnt realize Mel’s last fight
I’m waiting for a full explanation from Magnus on that one too lol
But time for some true Veterans and Warriors in Yoel vs Manhoef!
Huge fan of both but have to root for Melvin being the underdog and he’s a big one at +500… hopefully they both go out looking good somehow
mike tyson vs mike tyson
why did the commentator say ‘only 15 men have beaten him!!!’ [Melvin]
what kind of fucking sentence is that?
Yeah that stuck out and bothered me too… Like maybe talk about how he has 2 simultaneous careers in MMA and Kickboxing and has KO’d over 50 people himself… but nope dummy says that lol
jesus xD nice kick
stand em up ref, fuck it
romero somehow remembered how to wrestle
thank god he didn’t catch the keylock. fuck me that would have been an anticlimax
Not looking good for Melvin… Yoel didn’t even need the takedown to get him down and kicked him off his feet. Then his Base when he uses it is solid as a boulder
Yoels 46 is different than all the other 45+ yr plus old fighters…
Especially a guy like Manhoef who has been Kickboxing and has been on both ends of KO’s for decades whereas Yoel has only been finished once and spent the majority time grappling without strikes.
This is about as exciting as Nganou-Lewis was
haha
Melvin appears mind-fucked compared to his confident former self
Yeah both are pretty gun-shy here and aware of the others power making for a slow fight. But Melvin more so
