One thing that's kinda neat about Tsarukyan is that his incredible flexibility and athleticism lets him kick hard and not worry too much about them getting caught.

One of the reasons Khamzat is able to hit shots from so far away is that he does a good job knee sliding to an angle Dricus was slow to react to his shots and by the time he was ready to sprawl, Khamzat was off to the side and his body isn't centered over Khamzat's head With his head free, he can get his hips under him and turn the corner easily

Angela Hill beating up Xiong Jingnan with an underhook & collar tie Underhook/collar tie is often more stable than a double collar tie, since your hook keeps you connected and tight on one side, while the collar tie frames, creating space to strike. The DCT leaves space for the opponent's shoulders to wiggle through & makes it harder to pin them to the cage, while double underhooks leaves you too close to strike with power

Tatiana Suarez did a great job maintaining connection to Loopy in the clinch She kept a tight collar tie and whenever Loopy tried to create space with her own, Suarez would angle away from it and shrug her shoulder in, threatening to pass it across her body

One thing that makes Khabib's single leg on the cage so consistent is that he's conscious that one of the best ways to defend it is to fight his grip So he'll often secure wrist control and pin the wrist to the cage, then quickly lock hands & lift before they can strip his hands

Arman pinning Hooker on the cage with double overhooks for so long was pretty crazy Note how he uses his head and shoulder to block when Hooker tries to change levels and deepen the underhook. Also does a good job taking advantage as Hooker circles off, pulling him into a knee.

One of the reasons Khabib & co are able to deal damage from the leg mount position where others only stall is because they place a premium on controlling the opponent's head/posture If you can't break their posture you'll end up hugging the legs. Movlid here pins Pinedo's head to the cage with his shoulder, stuffs it into a front headlock grip, then smushes it down with a collar tie so his own head stays high and he can beat on him
