Bo nickel is getting very close with those overhand rights and lefts -he hides them by switching stance and throwing heavy to the body which sets up his takedown when he’s ready as well. Fun to watch his style grow fight by fight. #ufc309

You have to go when you finally get the crowd. Not enough risk taking.

Paul Craig during a faceoff and Strickland during a presser seem like they’re about to have the craziest fights in the world until the cage door locks
