Cathal is an anomaly. Literally a walking pillar that jams people against the cage, with no regular, practical use for arms or legs. I think Cathal just throws his arms out there slowly and awkwardly just to fool the judges into thinking he's fighting. And he tries a couple of his slow as fuck telegraphed spinning back kicks that never land, and a couple of his running flying knees that are easier to see coming than a fat peg-legged broad wearing a sunflower moo-moo running a marathon. And he'll try the occasional little trip off the cage, which result in him vying for some sort of position that usually goes nowhere. And he gets rocked a bunch of times and somehow lives to fight another day.
I have literally never seen a fighter so predictable and with such a weird NON-fighting style...yet he keeps getting these wins. His opponents should know EXACTLY what to expect but nothing works.
So I give up. I'm just going to have to accept him as the anomaly he is and start laughing at these terrible comedies of error that unfold whenever he is in the octagon. It's a beautiful thing, really.
