That was actually a really high level heavyweight fight, two guys who can grapple well. Jailton is a problem. A big problem. I always said he should be LHW but he's committed to HW and put some pounds on and most of the division bar top 3 won't handle him or his methods.
 
Jailton has decent hands, but he trusts so much in his grappling that he barely uses them. He chooses the safer path, Im not saying hes wrong, but he'd be a hell of a lot more dangerous if he mixed it up. His speed is unmatched at HW
 
I wish Spivac had an ounce of resolve because that was a fun fight while it lasted. Spivac is a talented grappler, but he cannot handle getting hit. A real problem for a pro fighter.
 
Was a good fun fight. On the feet Jailton threw some hard shots, but on the ground, it seem like he didnt hit him w lighter strikes, just get the guy into a bad position. He had him flattened out, but then the guy just quit. He didnt try to get himself out. The ref def did the right thing by stopping it there. You cant complain about a stoppage when the guy is lying face down and not moving and getting hit

Absolutely.

I thought it was just the massive monsters of the division he couldn't handle, but I think he's got a little bit too much quit in him to compete in the top 6 or 7.

And I love the guy, don't get me wrong, I'm a fan, he'll still win more fights than he loses - but he folds too easily when someone can land damage.
 
First time I saw Jailton throw punches standing up and he seems to have heavy hands. His father is a boxing coach if I'm not mistaken.

Sergei is technically a very sound grappler for a modern HW but I think the issue is he really lacks strong physical gifts which really I'd say is what decided this fight.

The problem for Almedia IMHO is that its generally been too easy for him, the level of grappling at HW is so low he's been able to run over most opponents without having to show much standing, when he does fight other grapplers there often in the same boat so he doesnt face much threat from them standing unlike Blaydes who whilst he maybe a bit flakey does have speed/power.
 
That might be one of the coolest sweeps in recent heavyweight history… very skilled match up.


Rare to see a grappling chess battle between two heavyweights these days
