Jack Della Maddalena utilizing the underrated turtle guard like this makes me wonder if he’s an Eduardo Telles fan… He combines the threats of Peterson roll variations to step-behind reversals that play well off each other depending on the weight the opponent gives you. #UFC315

🧵Carlos Prates, who faces fellow southpaw Geoff Neal at #UFC319, is 0-0 against notable southpaws in MMA but has seen the stance a decent amount in kickboxing and Muay Thai, showing solid comfort and an ability to still find liver knees in the stance pairing. #TheSouthpawReport

R.I.P. to my best friend, Benjamin. I was incredibly lucky to basically have the ideal dog that the childhood boy in many of us dreams of (for 14 yrs, no less). Aside from being a literal super dog from smarts to athleticism, Ben was always there for me, even when I had no one.
