Woah. He continues. Lead inside leg kick, into a lead jumping knee, into a right uppercut to Gorman's left ribcage, clinch + left knee. WTF?? This guy's amazing. I love his right hand (sometimes elbow) over-the-top too. The variety in combination is crazy. His balance too, in slipping and countering. Golovkin-styled in able to lean forward hands-up, stand in range, and throw back.
Hi love, bye love, I will miss my love.

He's been a next big thing for a while now. Glad the UFC finally snatched him up. Tons of talent.

Tons of respect for his opponent, I gotta say. Fighting a Brazilian in Brazil. Hit by bewildering combinations, has hung strong. Did it get FOTN?

It did.

OSP and Brennaman's opponent get 50K performance bonuses as well.

I feel bad for him. He is the MMA equivilent to quadruple-A baseball players. He's too good for the minors, and not good enough for the majors.

Maybe he can go to Bellator and spit at Tito and mean mug Bonnar.

AAAA player is a good comparison. He's one of those scrappy come-forward wrestler types, but he doesn't have the durability or diversity to call himself a scrappy come-forward wrestler type. He's very hittable, but he can't walk through it and keep forward like Matt Brown. Pretty much any guy coming into the company over the last 2-3 years would smash him. Basically an all glove, no bat shortstop.
