UFC 291 PBP/Discussion

Jan grappling is not much better imo.

Jan is bad off his back but whats the chances Alex actually gets top time? Jans top game is good. Hes submitted Clark and Krylov. Had Cannonier and Izzy mounted. Izzy was fucked with nowhere to go deep into the 5th round.
 
Boring, but good strat by Jan
 
1-1 now I think. Dmg in the 2nd should be enough for Alex, and Jan looks spent.

29-28 Pereira.
I'd agree. Jan actually landed some decent stuff that round, but his reactions (due to being exhausted) and the dmg on his leg, made the optics that Alex was doing far more than he really was.
Regardless, it SHOULD be 2-1 Alex I think.
 
Cardio was pretty scary for anybody who wants to attempt the grappling approach.
 
Alex grappling looked much improved.... He might actually hold the title if he avoids Ankalaev. But Ank has microwave IQ and might just stand with him.
 
Cardio and conditioning definitely seems to be a factor.
I heard that Poirier was fasting/preparing for this altitude for some time. Did Gaethje do the same?

Well he does live and train in Colorado.
