I realize there's hundreds of posts on this so I'm essentially preaching to the choir, but I don't know how any of us look at this clip and can't just realize we were so robbed of something that was going to be great however long it lasted.

One of Topuria's favorite tricks is to mixup his step-in body jab, and step in straight to the body (esp. to dip under their lead hand) as he makes his opponent backstep. Framing w/ his lead hand let Gaethje set up an uppercut by making Topuria think it's a jab to step in on.

Thread: The inside slip & cross counter in Topuria-Volkanovski. To maintain pressure, Topuria weaponized the inside slip as a key tool in both threatening & avoiding Volkanovski's jab. Against one of the best lead hands of the sport, Topuria saw the cross counter as his best bet.

Postfight comments for Topuria are actually a bit minimal on my side. First is that he continued to show that while opponents should kick him and weaponize them for space, it's not incredibly free and hard to follow up the front kick without him trying to take that space back.

Thread: The reason Gaethje's jab was so effective? B/c he made a targeted effort to prevent Topuria from feinting or disguising his step-ins. Gaethje's jab wasn't just effective because it was active. The volume and deliberate timing as Topuria stepped in - feint or not - helped.

One of the key jabbing applications Gaethje used to best Topuria was posting behind the dipping jab. Doing so let him avoid one of Topuria's favorite jab counters while letting him set up transitional attacks.

One trick Volkanovski used vs Lopes was doubling up on a chopping overhand right. Why it was effective: 1) It takes advantage of Lopes' limitations in exchanges by smothering him. And this has all to do with the trajectory of the right allowing Volk to dip his head under Lopes'.

Thread: The best way to understand Ilia Topuria's game is that it's built around manipulating reactions from his opponents with his combined mix of feints, patience, and insistency. Topuria is incredibly economic with and when he throws. This is mainly done through his half-step.

I rewatched Volk/Max 3 & it's always a testament to how it's one of the leading candidates for performance of the decade for many reasons, but one of them is how Holloway actually gets many ideas that would have worked or let him build against anyone else. And only some worked:

Many believe adjustments are usually complex, but, as Eddie Alvarez showed in his win against Justin Gaethje, they can be simple: If Gaethje likes the clinch, make it the worst place to be & keep the pace high to continue tire him out in the war of attrition. (Article below)

One of the most unheralded favorites of mine, Marat Balaev's cinematic losing effort to Salman Zhamaldaev, 2019. His left leg destroyed. His entire face is a horror show. Yet, in one of the most absurd displays of toughness ever, the 43yr old marches forward the full 25min war.

Because Benitez struggled to get by Leonard''s counterjabbing tactics, he would level change on entry to bait reactions and step in to counter the counter. Leonard's uppercut-left hook shut this down significantly, especially when the uppercut was corked to the midsection.
