Anybody Watching ACB 89?

Thanks man. I fell asleep and missed it. Did Amir win?

UD.

Not an inspired performance though. He spend much of the time ineffectual against the linch. Let's just say the ACB has a Cecil Peoples attitude towards scoring leg kicks. Solid cardio though

I picked Strus. Am I dumb?

Strus went to a split decision vs Fernando Gonzales in his last fight and Duraev has looked like a killer.

Yeah, most likely.

LoL, when Strus already started to walk towards the cage they noticed that they have a trailer to show.

Thanks for the breakdown. Glad he got the win. Was hoping for a finish though.

Spent the entirety of the first feeling each other out.

Duraev fights like a fencer. Makes me wonder how he'd do against an opponent that can circle away from all his straight charges.

 

[europe1]

Duraev can cling to a back though. No coincidence he's using those leggings. Probably helps with the traction

Strus not looking good.

 

[CDF47]

Well, Duraev took that round.

Strus not looking good.

I'd actually say Strus is looking better than usual. He's just very outmatched in this match-up

 

[Koniradi98]

Seems like Strus evolved back to his hesitant and boring KSW version.

 

[CDF47]

Duraev controlling the fight

isnt strus a sibmission fighter ?

[Koniradi98]

it looks like Strus likes to block punches with his face

 

[europe1]

Duraev has lost some of his pop and defence-smart in these championship rounds

 

[DayV]

Didn't help Aliakbaris hype, though.
Omielanczuk was a low level UFC HW and gassed hard in this fight, you can think how Amir would do in the UFC.

Omielanczuk was ranked in Top 15 in UFC. Also solid performances against Johnson and Blaydes altought he lost.

Aliakbari`s wins against Omielanczuk and Smoldarev are wins very near Top 15 UFC level.
