Trying to get better
Mostly just getting more tired
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.

I think Iβm 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.
17.08.2025 09:05 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Heβs the best chain-takedown artist Iβve ever seen to be honest. I donβt 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.
17.08.2025 06:36 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Reckon Khamzat might just edge this one on the cards #UFC319
17.08.2025 04:50 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0It'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.

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 :)

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 don't know what this means but sure!
