@JackarooMMA @ThaWeasle the 2 outtward forearms to block the entry seems to be effective, wrestler can't get arms in far enough to grab aphid of anything and stops their forward momentum
@PrabhhSandhu@lezramgomez@bullyb170 it's not a bad idea but timelines don't work, Islam's to fight on the Abu Dhabi card, needs an opponent for then otherwise it'll be like December/January to wait for Volk v Du Bronx winner, almost a year of inactivity and not in Islam's pref location
@GrandpappyMilas @espnmma especially when supposedly damage trumps all. like do these judges even know the scoring criteria or just score how they feel?
@windpharm @NRL_Bulldogs 100% too many week on week, can show all the grit and toughness in the world but if we keep giving away cheap penalties it's a tough ask to win games consistently
@ThaWeasle@squid_uagayboi yeah it isn't as incriminating to Islam (who can just deny it) as it is to Ali who just indicated that he view it as an acceptable practice. how many fighters & fights has he potentially been involved with where IV's were used at this level?
@5CityMMA even Craig Jones said recently in camp Volk was extremely hard to submit and he literally had to use all his strength do get it done. Machachev is an awesome wrestler but his bin would be no where near craig jones level. only way Islam submits volk is if he get volk really tired
@Lunch77Beatz@AjDuxche@JasjitBajwa head movement. his biggest changes need to be on the feet not on the ground, he didn't have enough respect for Islam's stand up. he needs to be better prepared for that in a rematch and work his way into range better and be more defensively sound
