saying arman beats him because of the bsd performance is NOT mma math

mma math is something like bsd beat ruffy, paddy beat bsd, so paddy beats ruffy

there is no relation in bsd and arman, its just an example of a superios grappler and how does ruffy fare against one

islam and khamzat are nothing alike, khamzat is a brute wrestler wifh no cardio

you should rewatch the fight, strickland didnt really "stop" khamzats wrestling, khamzat simply wrestled less after gassing out badly, he went 9/13 on takedowns

islam isnt the type of guy u wanna attempt risky scrambles with, because of his submission ability, and also he wont gas out if you scramble, more likely that you gas out cuz islam is more technical than khamzat and wouldn't use brute force to keep u down

nah real talk tho how can you just scrap a belt because the fight was boring thats so silly

ik the fight was boring but the ufc is lowkey being very unprofessional by scrapping the belt

garry outstruck prates every single round, lost the last one because he gassed out due to no camp

prates couldn't get his rhythm going cuz garry would punish every entry, despite prates having a longer reach ian utilises his reach better and forced prates to come in and punished him for it

its fairly ridiculous to say prates wins a rematch 1 year after getting 49 46ed against off the couch ian

islam disposed of #9 moicano in round 1, pereira went to war with #8 khalil losing 2 rounds, pantoja wenr life and death with erceg (outside the top 10), ankalaev took 5 rounds with guskov, bjsping almost lost to hendo outside the top 1p

its clear that when the champ or championship level fighter fights someone lower in the ranks its not super common to get a finish in r1, what islam did was not the bare minimum, its a good win
