MMA-UFC UFC 236

[Gigantic]

Good win for rountree. I think the Muay Thai camp was the perfect approach against Anders style. It will be interesting to see if he uses it in his next fight and how effective it will be.

Anders is one tough son of a bitch but I kind of get the feeling from listening to him in interviews he would rather be playing in the NFL. Obviously has the power and toughness to put a lot of guys out but that’s only going to carry you so far in the ufc

Rountree has been in Thailand since the start of the year I believe. I read somewhere he plans on staying over there.

Agreed a wrestler would obviously give him some different issues with that light lead leg style.

What a fascinating fight this next one is.

Really don’t know what’s going to happen.

Yeah I started off thinkin Gastelum would find a way then I've come around to thinking despite his lack of quality opponents Israel is custom made to take it on points.. but Kelvin has overcame similar issues against other opponents. Pumped for this.

What a fascinating fight this next one is.

Really don’t know what’s going to happen.

Got a feeling Adesanya will be happy to take it to decision and keep Gastelum out of range.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Come on Kelvin, overhand right sliding in for the ko.

 

[JG22]

I’m thinking Kelvin.

He’ll be able to close the range and go bang at some point.

 

[deklares]

Kelvin: Pressure, hand speed (1-2), chin, wrestling

Israel: Footwork, distance management, kicks, fight IQ

Kelvin's wrestling could be an x-factor. Top level if he decides to use it. Even some wrestling fakes could set up some opportunities to close distance.

 

[Guy Threepwood]

Great start by KG. Israel not looking comfortable at all. Not the fight I was expecting so far!

 

[Topkent]

Wow 10-9 Gastelum. See if he can maintain that level of pressure for 5 rounds

 

[Guy Threepwood]

Much better round by Israel. Got loose and landed some bombs! KG needs a takedown to swing the momentum back I reckon.

 

[Topkent]

First 2 minutes was Gastelum but 10-9 Adesanya. Countered alot better.

 

[deklares]

Wowee!


Gastelum needed that bell. His boxing got sloppy after that knock down..

 

[Guy Threepwood]

Israel's fight right now. Kelvin's letting him settle at the perfect range and he's getting picked apart when he tries throwing. He had some good moments when he got in the pocket, but this isn't looking good for him.

 

[Topkent]

So close for Gastelum, had he landed some shots in that takedown he probably gets the round but I'd say that was 10-9 Adesanya

 

[Topkent]

It's looking like Gastelums only chance is getting him with his jab. Not sure he has the power

 

[Guy Threepwood]

Amazing round! Gastelum forced him backwards and started landing again. 2-2 for mine going in to the 5th.

 

[Adzam]

this is a ******* great fight.

 

[Topkent]

What a ******* round. 2 rounds each. Incredible

 

[deklares]

What a round!

You know Gastelum's tank has plenty left

 

[Ry009]

GREAT fight.

Great seeing not only an even fight but both fighters fighting at a high level.

 

[Gigantic]

This is gonna be a sloppy but good 5th round

 

[deklares]

At the start of that round Gastelum wasn't even breathing heavy.. * what a fight. Respect to both of them!!

 

[deklares]

Think Gastelum may have messed up going for the TD when he had issy seriously hurt

 

[Quivorir]

Holy s**t. Incredible.

 

[Gigantic]

What. a. fight.
