Justin looked horrible last night

[StoicBeau]

Sherdog told me that Paddy would take Justin down and easily submit him because Justins grappling "sucks". Fake news because Khabib ran through Justin in his prime so people try to downplay him.



Reality of the fight is that Justin won every grappling exchange, battered Paddy on the ground, and hit him with about 25 bombs that would have knocked out almost anyone else, at 38, with staph.

One of Khabibs 3 good wins out of 29, not bad!

2 eyepokes were crucial. He tried a lot more, did some minor ones and did a lot of scraping.
His favorite combo is to plant his left on his opponents face, scraping the eyes and then land the right hook.

He was awesome as always.

So much salt here Justin, Dustin and Conor were all top 5 p4p when the GOAT finished them, RDA should have been.

The unscratched 257-1 multiple world time Sambo champ and unscathed in 29-0 fighting GOAT is not only the best fighter the sport has ever seen, but also the best coach ever and most popular MMA fighter on earth.

It's an embarrasment of riches and accolades that you're just going to have to swallow over time, or be force fed it.

Your choice.

Imagine thinking post-Floyd LW Conor was a quality win bc he was ranked on the p4p list

As exciting as the fight was, it proved that Ilia will kill both those guys.

You had some doubts before the fight ? The UFC propaganda worked well on you...

 

[MDoza]

He’s old and he didn’t think Paddy would have the chin to survive a firefight.

Gaethje was pretty bad at ground and pound to finish Paddy
Crazy to drop 4 times a guy whithout finishing him

Lighter divisions are predicated on speed and fast twitch reflexes, as those are the first to go once you are out of your 20s.

Power, however is usually retained much longer. This is why lighter weight divisions don't really have dominant old guys, and why heavyweights are full of old guys.

Justin still has some power and that's what's been carrying him near the end of his career. That and what's left of his iron chin.

Traditionally this is true, but most of the top fighters are well into their 30s

Its more about Mileage than age and Justin is super high mileage.

An essay + a meme to respond to my 1 sentence comment—and I’m the salty one?

The best part is then you proceed to name the 3 quality wins I alluded too.

There’s dumb—and then there’s you.
