      yup. he's inconsistent but doesn't mean he's doing absolutely bad the entire fight on those fights that he lost aside from Woodley. and also, Darren didn't continued the body work against Brunson and it's pretty visible that Brunson's weakness is getting hit to the body to drain him easier. Brunson doesn't have that good cardio it showed on some of his fights even at the Cannonier fight he looked fatigue before the end of first.

    I have this gut feeling that Till going and collaborating with Chimaev in Sweden and being fully honest about everything is going to greatly impact him in ways that are probably invisible to everyone but it will impact this part inside him that naturally has been created from these loses and injuries and stresses and help him just let go and maybe have peace because it has had to been stressful in the UK lately so I hope Sweden helps him heal up, find comradery and people focused on being guided by the heart and idk maybe things will fall into place naturally. Regardless Darren is amazing. I don't care about numbers and records and shit in order to like a fighter/athlete. He is dealing with coming back from injuries and getting his conditioning and fitness back and that's a huge thing to be proud of achieving. I personally had my ACL replaced and it didn't go well and I can't run or skateboard anymore like I always have been able to do, so I really understand some feelings he has maybe had during this chapter of his life. I wish him all the best. That's all I care about. I loved seeing the videos at the gym in Sweden. Sweden seems like such a nice place and they seem to have a great system set-up there. I can't wait to see Chimaev compete again too. I can't believe we're having to wait so long because people haven't wanted to fight him.. Khamzat Chimaev could have and would have fought so many times by now but the UFC is actually holding this guy back from his true potential because he is so driven to perform if he is able to. It's unbelievable to see such drive and it shows that it's contagious. I'm happy for that entire gym and till going and visiting.

Sure a few small things can be tweaked and training with wider range of fighters surely is great but he has done that already as most fighters do. Don't buy into the hype of khamzat too much. All stars gym is great no doubt but if im not mistaken they have had zero ufc champs from their camp ever. Darren has reached the same level in ufc than alex gustafsson ever did so i'm sure he is just fine. Ufc fans are just obsessed by narratives and a fighter is always the next greatest thing or a hasbeen, over his prime, "done".

    Obviously what Darren was doing to Brunson was impressive. Especially in the 3rd round. But keep in mind, I’m the first 2 rounds he got smashed on the ground and was down 2 rounds at that point and there was arguably a 10-8 in there. So even though he was getting beat up on the ground, he was still dynamite on the feet. He just loosened up a bit too much and got taken down and it led to the finish. So he has heart. And even in defeat he looks impressive. Guys have a very hard time with him on the feet. It takes guys like Robert Whittaker, Masvidal, and Wonderboy to give him problems on the feet. So if he can improve his ground game, dude is gonna be an even bigger problem than he already is. Because if you can’t put him on his back, you’re gonna have a hard time striking with him. Hoping that he works out the holes in his game and makes a run to the top ❤️🤍
