@alexandrabotez Breaking rules have consequences, and he was fined for it. I don't understand why they had to continue punishing him by making him forfeit game 9. Shouldn't fining be enough (especially considering how minor the infraction is)?

@BoxingBusch @MigClass did his pressure footwork on the feet (iirc he suddenly got good at backing people up and cutting the cage) pop up at the sameish time?

@neu_rips Yes -- I'm assuming this is mostly the theory of RL?

@BoxingBusch was it just me or did both fighters look a bit diminished from their prime? Mike gave up takedowns with almost no defence, and Charles look way more tired than I usually see him.

@JosieAldoMMA do you think it's possible DDP somehow just wins? I was so confident Robert would kill him, and somehow DDP lands a head and arm and keeps top control..

@tverven @UlrikeLuxburg @ML_Theorist @Suuraj Thanks for having me!!

@Patrick_Wyman very cool. Do you have plans for an audiobook version?

@BoxingBusch Or even just horribly unprepared for bottom position? Why on Earth are people in 2024 still trying for subs off their back

@BoxingBusch did i miss a memo about closed guard working again in mma? What's with all this guard play

@JosieAldoMMA that was strategic. Her backmount looked suspiciously loose at the end of one of the rounds. Also idk why Grasso only decided to start standing up from bottom in r5

@OpenNoteGrapple Dominant ground control victories on Weidman, Machida, and Branch, all of whom are respected mma grapplers in their own right.

@JosieAldoMMA tbf i think Khabib's wrestling and grappling vastly improved between the Tibau and Conor fights. Your point still stands though

@chrismwojcik I also think no-gi is more easily connectable to mma. A lot of people get into bjj from watching mma (I think?)

@JosieAldoMMA the number of people on r/bjj calling this a robbery and a "domination" by levi is insane

@JosieAldoMMA obviously this kade guy doesn't have the kind of darce squeeze that lightweight GOAT charles oliveira does

@JosieAldoMMA i think something the commentary missed was how exhausting it is to wrestle someone with that much weight on you. I think it's basically impossible to keep up the pace William had in r1 against someone that size

@BoxingBusch the backing up into the cage was sad but not surprising. However the lack of resistance on the takedowns shocked me
