Well yeah. All-time great wrestler and he's still young and seems to be polishing his MMA skillset very quickly. Not a man to be fucked with.
Edit: This was gorgeous.

Pretty dogshit card - I guess the Yusuff fight might be alright? Other than that, I'll probably 'bate to Mackenzie since I think she is hot as fuck.

She fought 9 amateur fights and her first two pro fights with Invicta as a Flyweight without a problem but as soon as she started fighting ten pounds heavier at Bantamweight she couldn't reliably make weight anymore, missing weight once in Invicta and three times with the UFC.
Gonna guess it's a lack of discipline on a personal level and probably also a lack of competent folks around her. Looks like "MMAGOLD" is a bunch of nobodies.

yan vs dern was more than i thought it'd be
5rounds is not for dern
well at least, b/c her standup is horrible, she now has a good chin
apparently simps are raging that dern didn't win, like, dafuqqq? lets be real, going into rd5, yan already clearly won 3rounds, dern needed to sub her and failed, even got reversed at the finals seconds

Eh, I think the 47-47 card was the correct call. That 5th round was definitely 10-8, IMO. That said, I don't think Dern got "screwed" by any means and Yan winning isn't really a bad call.

Volks and Dariush are both great backups for Do Bronx. UFC 280 is going to be fucking badass.

What the mother fuck? 280 is an Abu Dhabi mid-day start time? I was going to throw a big party for all my friends, but that pretty much kills that.

Blue shorts had a shallow, high underhook on black shorts, which means his wrist was trapped in black's armpit. Black shorts hooked over blue's elbow and violently drove it across the body. This can easily dislocate the shoulder or break the elbow. It's the same thing Jon Jones did to Glover Teixeira, and Glover suffered a torn labrum and needed surgery.
It's a super shitty thing to attack in amateur competition. It's not exactly illegal, but is a VERY unsportsmanlike move and demonstrates significant disregard of the opponent. By nature of the technique there is no control and no time to tap. It either fails or causes immediate serious injury. The point of submission grappling is to demonstrate sufficient control that the opponent has time to recognize the threat and tap. Things move quickly and injuries absolutely happen, especially in competition, but this is a different level.
Fuck that guy. Blue shorts made the right call to bow out from competing against him.
