Grats to Byrd. Hé came out and Ran for that takedown

 

[MadDogMahoney]

That was embarrassing stuff from Phillips

 

[The-AxeMurderer]

SBG Fighters got no ground game

 

[Muay Thai #1]

That was amazing, complete domination and a slick RNC at the end

 

[Jon's Drug Dealer]

Byrd is legit. 3 back-to-back subs in the UFC, 2 of them in the first round.

 

[AC1D1K]

wonderful

 

[welcometohavoc]

You can have the best hands in the world but if you can't defend a double leg better than a 6 year old girl, you're getting dumped on your back

 

[ImNotSurpisedDonks!]

I think Kavanagh is in a predicament like Firas had, where his most successful fighter retires, that lowers the level of training in the gym, and then he goes from an incredibly winning record to a losing one. The game also moves along fast, so possibly he is just a step behind.

 

[Shoot Boxe Hero]

And they were just talking about how Phillips and his team were prepared for this because of Kavanaugh's BJJ skills LOL

SBG grappling

Isn’t that Kavanaugh a BJJ spécialiste too?

 

[MadDogMahoney]

It looked like he made no effort to defend that choke early on.

Don’t ever compare Firas to Kavanaugh. First off guys like Rory are still there. Plus Firas has a brilliant mind. Kavanaug is supposedly a BJJ specialist and his fighters are absolutely clueless grappling

yeah. apparently great. but not his fighters, though

Yeah. He’s a relatively small MW right? But good technique will always beat size.

 

[Dorch]

can we get a non conor UFC SBG fighters stats please, bet it would be pretty hillarious

 

[Londonjitsu]

What is kavanagh good at? His bjj credentials have recently been questioned and Conor brought in danis as his bjj coach instead.

Which is fucking hilarious, considering their "coach".

 

[CountOfSoCal]

Where are the guys praising Kav’s coaching?

Same stuff I’ve said since Holohan and and Daly came into the UFC. They get matched up against mediocre competition and win. They get some hype, and then they fight someone somewhat decent, and get thrashed.
