Joe doesn’t look his normal , old self at all.  He’s flat as hell tonight

This was one of those fights where he should look at his performance and consider if his time is done. This is not the same guy from even 2-3 years ago. 

Per Jed Goodman:

UFC Fighters that missed weight this year are 3-3.

Breakdown: Favs: 2-2 Dogs: 1-1

It was definitely rough.  Askarov is obviously very good, but Joe has nothing tonight.  No movement, no angles, no scrambles.  The lighter weight divisions don’t end well for older, high mileage guys, due to the terrible weight cuts and the high demand for speed, quickness, and reflexes, all of which are things that diminish with age.

So, these guys are straight up trying to murder each other

Yadong doesn’t kick enough to set up his power.

Phillips Up 2-0

Great fight so far

This fight is a perfect example of why I hate the octogon. It could be much nore fun in a ring with actual corners.

29-28 Yadong or Philips both are good results, Joe Rogan watching a different fight as usual

He always gets stuck on a narrative. He builds up a story for the fight in the first round, and it takes him forever to recognize when the action has changed in the following rounds.
