@upfrontmma@MAKHACHEVMMA@iangarryMMA Pad work will never be impressive. We saw Ilia hit the pads at insane speed and accuracy and still lost to Justin in striking. We need sparring/training footage
@LaSueur_off That’s fucked up cuz Van made it to the rankings after a fluke win over Pantoja but Ulberg with a tore ACL and a well timed shot couldn’t make it.
Alexander Volkanovski comes to Alex Pereira's defense amid the recent back-of-the-head shots controversy
"Herb, I love you but you should have been pretty vocal... I don't want to throw shade on people but there was a lot of back of the head shots.
If it was someone I didn't like that did that, I'd probably be a lot more clear with how I'm saying this. We need to have that discussion, and we're having that discussion.
Pereira's asking for people to speak about it, here I am."

@RevolutionMMA_ There goes any chance of you winning Garry. He could’ve just abused his reach and won off volume striking and point scoring. Possibly securing a 48-47 or 49-46 but no, let’s just try to tap out the guy who tapped out 3+ BJJ black belts.
