well, he's not a 4-1 fav for no reason....Am I missing something?
You watched him batter Vettori and thought he was playing it safe?This will seal whether DDP earns his titleshot or gets sent to the back. People here act like Whittaker is some unstoppable force but he's played it safe since losing the title.
Yeah I thought he decided to go to cruise control instead of finish. To me, Cannonier looked like he was trying to finish compared to Whittaker. I'll have to rewatch again, but Whittaker seemed comfortable outstriking and never pushed it to go for the finish.You watched him batter Vettori and thought he was playing it safe?
You're misremembering, Whittaker had Cannonier hurt badly and almost put him away but he somehow survived. Knucks also threw everything but the kitchen sink at Vettori but one doesn't simply finish Marvin.Cannonier looked like he was trying to finish compared to Whittaker.

The guys he's struggled to finish going back to the Yoel fights are all pretty hard to finish though.Yeah I thought he decided to go to cruise control instead of finish.
