Best striking performance of 244 - Mas, Till or

Wonderboy? 

Wonderboy put on a ninja masterclass against Luque. Fucking one of the most aesthetic performances I've ever seen.

Till just shut down Kelvin, a beautifully technical fight. Just the basics done at a very high level, and very defensively sound.

Mas just obliterated Diaz. It looked a grown man fighting an 8 year old. God knows how many times he rocked Diaz. 

Who had the best performance in your opinion? 

Also interesting how each of them have a win and a loss against one another. Shows how competitive it is at the highest levels.

Till beat the highest quality opponent, but Wonderboy looked the best doing it. 

Till completely shut down Gastelum without ever looking in trouble, which was very impressive.  Masvidal's looked better but against a much less skilled opponent than Till, same with Wonderboy.

Till could have done more. Would have liked more of those low snappy leg kicks. He was playing it extra conservative. Extra safe. Lame.

 

Masvidal and Wonderboy brought it today. They were putting on a striking clinic! I would give it to Masvidal. He was possessed by a demon.

I loved Till's performance. Tbh, I can easily see him becoming champ. He was very, very, very technically fluid. 

 

Wonderboy's performance was ninja af though. So beautiful. Seriously. Makes me want to find a high level karate gym haha, if you know of any downtown, by all means recommend them to me.

Masvidal was just fucking vicious. Sadistic even. Love how his game has just gotten so much meaner, Paulino Hernandez is a brilliant coach. 

 

He must have concussed Nate a half dozen times, honestly. The head kick ko was nasty.

Kevin Lee's right hook to left high kick was awesome

It's kind of a basic combo, but for a wrestler it was impressive...more so how badly fucked up Gillespie was thereafter. 

 

All looked pretty good in diff ways. Wonderboy looked more aggressive/active - a bit like his vintage performance vs Hendricks - and his style when on is always fun to watch.

They say the Till fight wasn’t that exciting but I thought it was alright esp considering Gastelum has the power to take him out at anytime and I thought Gastelum would do better. Till def had him off.

Masvidal’s hands, elbows, kicks all looked smooth and strong as shit. Nate also did try his trademark pressure but Jorge actually has the footwork to get himself out of it.

Sucks the fight was stopped but a pretty good card all round esp with Lee’s decapitation.

Yeah, I wonder how Nate just keeps coming back from all that. That was vicious but no one can put Nate away (yes, I saw the Thomson kick).

I think Till still needs another fight but could be a decent matchup for Izzy.

Yes, RE: Till. This is why I thought people weren’t giving Till the credit for the so-called boring fight. I thought it was impressive as well.

Lee looked amazing.

Till looled good but Gastelum never pulled the trigger.

Wonderboy looked good but he did that shit before.

Ivonov might be the toughest bastard I’ve ever seen.

Masvidal won too easy.

Siciliano di Brooklyn - Lee looked amazing.

Lee was good, not amazing. He was getting tagged a lot, the right cross, switchkick is kind of basic…but the ko was vicious. All that much more impressive being that it came from a wrestler of all people. 

 

Wonderboy’s performance was god tier, you’re way underrating paisano. From one Sicilian to another, you have to respect his game. 

 

As for Mas, yeah, he just fucking mauled him. It wasn’t even competitive.

 

 

I thought Lee looked a bit stiff and was getting hit first early on.

Gastelum never pulled the trigger because Till never let him.

Wasa-B - I thought Lee looked a bit stiff and was getting hit first early on.

Gastelum never pulled the trigger because Till never let him.

Agreed. 

Till left no openings. Very intelligent and slick performance. He’s not so defensively porous as people made him out to be.

"Sadistic" is the best adjective i've heard to explain Jorge's beating of Nate. He really looked like he would have been happy to flatline Nate. The rest of the division best be on notice.

Till used his size wisely as did Wonderboy, but as far as pure brutality, Masvidal takes it.

Tough to pick, some superb, elite level performances. Probably give Wonderboy the edge...just.

You can tell he drilled that... step off and fire the left high kick
