@akgymrat80@BrainsuckerRed@PirjakD@MigClass it is dirty and it’s also smart cuz it’s a fight
just like the oblique kick destroying a fighters knees can be seen as dirty but do what you have to do to win whether it’s taking their legs or eyes
People say ilia looked different even with the bad gameplan the man fought blind
@fightbasicz Topuria won every stat while he was half blind from an illegal eye poke in the first round, and you’re wondering why Justin said no rematch? He knows.
@BrutusAntony@BrainsuckerRed@PirjakD@MigClass 100% agree. an ilia that just wants to win would’ve found more success Justin stayed true to who he is and that’s why he came out on top valuable lesson for ilia
@BrutusAntony@BrainsuckerRed@PirjakD@MigClass At the end of the day it’s a fight and no matter how anyone feels the right gameplan wins and a fighter is supposed to do anything to win and that was shown from gaethje I think ilia trying to be a entertaining fighter ruined him all that matter is who wins
@BrutusAntony@BrainsuckerRed@PirjakD@MigClass Yeah gaethje’s a dawg who’s constantly looking to hurt you and leave damage and ilia was a fool for thinking he can just walk down gaethje and he paid a price and yes certain kicks can be immoral like oblique kicks while it works its a pretty dirty thing to ruin a fighters knees
@BrutusAntony@BrainsuckerRed@PirjakD@MigClass Lost his left eye a min and a half into round 1 you try moving your head for a strike you can’t see and boxing is profoundly different from mma, and the impact from the difference in gloves what happened last night never has or will happen in boxing
@sisterthebeagle@MigClass He eye poked too a couple times and the ref never said anything it’s not just ilia look at the paddy fight it’s hard to be a good fighter when you can’t see
@BrainsuckerRed@PirjakD@MigClass Rewatch the fight bro it’s the only place he was punching not taking away his win again it’s legal strikes but dirty tactics
@PirjakD@MigClass Gaethje’s fight style work because most good fighters train their defense to protect the chin not the eyes. Justin started doing this after getting KOed by max, there’s a reason recently good fighters look off against him. Don’t really matter how good you are if you can’t see
@MigClass Gaethje is a dirty fighter he attacked topurias eyes every strike and you can see it throws topuria completely off having to defend his vision istead of getting chinned. Geathje blinds his opponent to level the playing field and I think paddy understood
This may be cope but rewatching the fight gaethje’s entire gameplan was to take ilia’s vision the whole fight it’s the only place he was aiming especially in pocket and that’s why so many of gaethje’s jabs were landing he aims for the eyes not the chin or nose he aims there after
I'm still awake, re-watching Ilia Topuria vs Justin Gaethje
WHAT THE FUCK WAS ILIA DOING
Wandering into jabs, no defensive footwork, bulldozing forward into the pocket instead of setting it up, swinging like a tard in the pocket?
Who tf is this guy & what happened to Topuria?
@SICKYDOESMMA Gaethje relentlessly attacked ilia’s eyes same as paddy he destroys his opponents eyes to close the skill gape and win. It’s the dirtiest thing ever but styles make fights
