I guess the weight cut worked. Often it makes fighters chinny. Especially older fighters.

He's just walking through Moraes.

If he was doing such a terrible job at his weight cut, why not just get a bit of muscle and do the cut to 145 using the same approach he followed for this camp? Going to 35 makes no sense.

Could have gone either way. Super close. Sorry Joe.

The fight is 1-1 and Aldo might win it, but he looks so bad when compared to FW Aldo. He used to be the greatest defensive fighter in the sport. He had 2-3-4 levels of defense and had beautiful counters. This Aldo is slow, plodding and getting bullied by a bantamweight.
Ehh. I think he was just taking a different approach against a very dangerous fighter. You may be right though. We'll see with his next fight at 135.

lol @ Aldo with the head nodding feeling so sure that he'd gotten the W only to have it go to Marlon (got me some shadenfreude out of it due to it).

DC and Joe keep talking about advancing fighters getting the round and getting points for a takedown, even though those are not real things. UFC should have a feed with Arena noise and no commentary, it contributes nothing.

True, but Nunes just keeps hitting her guard, not any real shots are getting through that I've seen. Just a lot of top control.

I have heard of legit black belts that have been tapped by GDR. It seems she has a few moves that can actually work lol

I favor Holloway, but Volkanovski has legit unset potential

Volk has been fighting so smartly. His feinting and inside punching is so smooth. However, I am not sure what is the gameplan against Max when you are shorter than him and have less ground game. He cannot just do the Poirier thing.

It is known.

Max is a GOAT. I couldn't say a kind word about him others haven't already said, and more eloquently than I.

But Volkanovski has everything on his side. Power, endurance, wildly educated and sky high IQ, with the momentum of City Boxing behind him.
But then he's also 5 inches shorter than his opponent who's pretty good...

Volk repeating the Aldo strategy of hiding leg kicks with punches. He should start turning it up by the end of round 3.

Take Max's legs and his hands will make up what his movement has lost. Dudes amazing.

Volk looking sharp too.

Feeling like like Max is going to have to put on a clinic to save his title
