Really dumb of Moreno not to shoot TD more

[soulsstealer]

He was taking Figueiredo down pretty damn easily. Didn't do much damage but you can easily steal a round spamming takedowns early and just putting your weight on someone would help him finish out Round 4 & 5 strong. But instead he just got in a slugfest with a guy who is a step faster.

dude was on his backfoot whole fight getting hammered hiw whole body and face. He could spam TDs and possibly gotten fig down a few more times but likely make himself more predictable. and the reward for the effort is quite low(damage wiese) big deal for jor and DC tho?. fig also throws some flying knees in there.

Fig had a beautiful takedown at the end with some nice ground n pound to secure the round. Good look finishing the fight on top

5th round sucked. I agree Moreno should have gone for some takedowns. Oliveira was the best fighter on the card, by a long shot. I think he could out-grapple Khabib.

Sort of like how in the Ferguson fight, DC was saying in the third round, "Tony needs to try to get up here." Commentary that profound really changed my whole perspective on the fight.

CHARLIIEEEE!!!!!!!! They took my thumb!!!!!!!!
...or I'd give you a 'like.'

What gym do you coach at? Id love to train the td spam with you. Hold r1 and press forward on the left stick right? Shit you're fired i already learned that in the tutorial

LOL That's what I was about to say. It's not a fucking video game man. The dude had been giving it hell, had taken hell, AND had his boys shattered by an illegal strike. Non-fighters/non-athletes have no idea the realities of competing at that level. They wouldn't even be able to breathe properly after 4 rounds

Yeah, at the end he could barely throw a punch. Takedowns are way work....

agreed. I kept saying to myself why isn't he shooting more.

I coach at the same gym you coach at. Only difference is I don't mention dumb shit like that as an overweight keyboard warrior. See you next week COACH!

To be fair Fig always fights with his hands low, if you shoot a double leg on him you have to be 100% comitted and u better time that shit right or you are eating a uppercut from hell.

He was also fighting on the back foot and IMO i think Fig had the more dangerous (fight ending) grappling the first 10 min due to how explosive he is.

At least 1 person made some good counter arguments. I can agree with that Fig is dangerous everywhere it's like pick your poison.
