Didn't notice this the first time watching, but Merab tried the same choke setup at the end of the 1st round that ultimately succeeded in the 3rd. He has used the front headlock previously as a way to just break opponents back down. Now it's a place where he can finish fights.

I called XFC 54 last night in Iowa. A name from the card you should remember: Darkhanbek Ergeshov. This guy is a hammer. I’d be shocked if he didn’t make some waves in UFC. Last night he scored an Americana with his legs from scarf hold on a PFL vet/BJJ black belt Sarek Shields

In round 4, Rakhmonov scores a trap dump takedown when he got an elbow deep collar tie + block of opposite knee to take Garry down. In round 5, Garry got wise to it, rolled his head under the collar tie, then used the new angle to spin Rakhmonov to the floor and take his back.

Karlos Nassar is a bull. 20-year-old phenom out of Bulgaria. This was no lift, but also amazing lift. At 89kg himself, he attempts a world-record 225kg (496lbs) C&J. Insane athlete.🇧🇬

One of my favorite “f*ck around, find out” combat sports moments is when Ricardo Mayorga called down the thunder from Oscar De La Hoya and discovered the hard way that was the wrong move.

Sounds dumb, but I found the performance of Bud Crawford to be genuinely moving. A performance I will never forget. All I feel is gratitude for having been able to witness something so unique and special. Left me speechless on air:

Hafthor Bjornssen pulls 505kg conventional on the deadlift, setting an all-time record. Done under strongman rules. He did this after walking away from the sport for years and losing a ton of weight for boxing matches. Generational strength athlete.
