Spot on analysis. Not discrediting Glover, but Santos TDD and Jiu Jitsu on his back looked terribleDon’t love to say it, but Cruz was spot on
Thiago totally accepted every single thing Glover tried to do and didn’t even try to defend until Glover got mount. Outside of mount, Thiago was comfortable just straight up chillin. No pushing off with his feet, no turning his hips, no shrimping.
This is white belt level stuff. Thiago should have a serious athletic advantage over Glover and be able to find an opening to escape.
If not else, after giving up almost 9 minutes of control in 10 minutes, when you drop him in the third, don’t jump into his fucking guard. I find myself more disappointed in Thiago than I do impressed with Glover.
That’s just how i saw it
Santos did nothing when he was in bottom position.
I was waiting for Nate Diaz to tweet "White Belt" all over again.
The funny thing is that Spicely got choked out by "Smilin'" Sam Alvey just a few months before he choked out Santos. Kinda puts things in perspective.Santos has been submitted by Eric Spicely
It's not a a strong suit
But like Rumble, he has enough power to finish practically everyone
Almost any other LHW gets finished by those Santos shots in round 1
And then Santos went on to beat Jon Jones.The funny thing is that Spicely got choked out by "Smilin'" Sam Alvey just a few months before he choked out Santos. Kinda puts things in perspective.
