Made another thing a while back and finally got around to posting it!

What makes Islam Makhachev's grappling different to the standard Dagestani style -- and why he may have already surpassed Khabib.

Pressure is his best friend -- so many times when we see his KOs he has his opponent against the cage. Was a bit of a gamble just straight up running forwards to pressure immediately but Ankalaev didn't deal with it at all, looked terrified. Crazy KO.

Got some more striking work in at CKB today. They already had a banner up of Carlos from the fights yesterday. They back their boys to the hilt.

My fat ass can’t last very long doing padwork.

As three of my favourite fighters look down on me in disgust πŸ˜₯

Did some pad work at CKB today. Surreal. Walking around pretending I know what I’m doing but I’m just four raccoons in a big coat

Diego Lopes has now absorbed 447 significant strikes (From opponents with a combined 28 UFC knockdowns) without being knocked down once.

This man has a chin on him.

Insane guillotine attempt and survival at #DWCS. Almost turned into a dragon sleeper. #bjj #MMA

I'm working so only have it on a second monitor but holy hell, what a scrap between McMillen and Mgoyan. Absolute banger start to finish and a crazy comeback for Tommy McMillen after an 8-10 first round. #DWCS

I think I’m in the minority of people who really enjoyed watching the fight, and thought the standups were a bit weird. In one of them Khamzat had just passed the guard, landed a few pitter patter strikes from side control and then it got stood up. The boos annoyed me too but I guess I get it.

He’s the best chain-takedown artist I’ve ever seen to be honest. I don’t think anyone has the level of takedown defence needed to stop him getting them down. DDP is really good at getting back up and he was still helpless.

Reckon Khamzat might just edge this one on the cards #UFC319

It's as close to a 50-50 fight as I've ever seen for me!
Either Khamzat comes out and drowns him in the first, or 10-8's the first and carries on like that

Or DDP is just too effing big and Khamzat can't keep the pressure up.

It's mainly on how Borz fights, for me. He can't let off the gas.

Two utter chaos gremlins do battle this weekend.
Assuming Khamzat makes it to the cage.
(Please, MMA Gods. Make it happen.)

I need a show called Haircuts about a crimefighting barber whose name is Bryl Creem.

Fluffy just dogwalked a SERIOUSLY good grappler in Roman Dolidze.
Made him so desperate and tired with the rides he got a point taken for grabbing the glove AS he was being finished. Wow. #UFCVegas109

That's really useful work man, thank you so much! It's only been two nights and I'm way out of my depth haha. Can't get her to pee outside for love nor money. She's called Mila :)

My power and internet are barely functioning so I have done some dad-gardening.

Raising my first seeds in proper seed raising cells, two tomato varieties.

Have an avocado seed germinating so I can do that again.

And seed potatoes sprouting.

I am going to be the batshit old potato man one day
