      I remember back in like 2015 Promotional Malpractice live chats, Luke’s videos would always been way more quiet than other videos I’d watch. It would be like a jump scare when another video would come on after and be way louder than Luke’s

Wtf!! Considering rounds are scored separately and based on many factors including take downs, effective striking/grappling, octagon control etc, I just thought he is talking BS (as always) and Jon Anik has to correct him. Its not the first time ive heard him misread whats happening in fights. Cant stand his commentary

    Could someone clarify this, as I am unsure if I understand Luke:
    On the Evloev v Allen bout; did Goddard make a mistake or not? Luke says that Goddard did not make the " correct call" by deeming the knees as fouling, even though Movsar's fingertips were on the ground when the knees landed. If, as Luke states, Ontario use a ruleset where any contact between hand and ground makes a fighter grounded, then where did Goddard make a mistake exactly?
    Please no personal opinions on this, my question is simply for clarity's sake

    Strickland just didn’t do enough. His big problem is he has a limited tool set. He has a great jab and straight but that’s pretty much all you get. Rarely kicks, no takedowns, no submissions, no grappling. That’s just not going to fly very long as champion.

    • @nolongerblocked6210
      @nolongerblocked6210 Před 4 měsíci

      🎯🎯💯 bingo!! That's what I think his problem is too, he feels like a one-trick pony with no secondary style to go to. It presents very poorly visually when his opponents doing lots of stance switching & targeting punches from midsection to head, all kinds of leg kicks from low to high & mixing in takedowns. Sean's without question got the best jab in the UFC, but that jab & then straight punches behind it with no KO power doesn't feel like enough

      I felt the same way! I knew DDP was an awkward fighter but I thought he made a jump when he beat Whitaker. But he just looked like he knew 2 punches, overhand right, overhand left. And Sean, to me, fights scared even if he is a counter striker. Then he turns it up at the very end of fights. Even then, he head hunts and doesn’t do takedowns nor leg kicks.

    I'm not sure how little or big this might mean to you but Joe Rogan mentioned you by name during his fight companion. He was curious about what people online were saying about the decision because he was kind of surprised by it (although he admits he wasnt watching it closely enough to ve confident about the scoring).
    They were scrolling through some random names on the # and then Joe asked "what about Luke Thomas?" It definitely came off like he respects you opinion on the matter.
    I think that's pretty cool that you stood out to him as a source worth checking in on.

    4:55 Does Luke usually watch UFC events with the volume off? Dom has been conflating the "damage" criterion of MMA scoring to just visible/superficial/cosmetic damage (i.e., cuts, blood, bruises, swelling, etc.) since at least UFC Vegas 66 Cannonier v. Strickland which took place in December 2022. He did so again at UFC Vegas 70 (in case anyone's interested) and at many other events. And his fellow commentators would let him go on and on with that thinking. What was different this time was that Anik finally pushed back and addressed it to try to disabuse him of that notion. But he did it in a nice way w/o calling him out for misunderstanding what the term "damage" meant.

    If they’re going by the old grounded fighter rules as minimum 2/3 knees were illegal. One of them the force of the knee lifts the hand not Allen pulling up; the last one was objectively illegal by all the rules the UFC uses and that’s when Goddard stopped the fight. If anything Allen should’ve been docked a point for 2 fouls

    6 empty takedowns no damage, Strickland was able to get back up quickly. They were basically just a change of position. If any of the judges counted those useless takedowns as the deciding factor in any round then they should be fired.

    I thought Dricus won 2, 3 & 4 so I had DDP winning but it was close. I totally agree with Luke bcuz what you said is what I told my friend while we watched the fight, Sean feels like a one-trick pony. Sean's a jabbing head hunter without the power to knock guys out. He needs to learn to mix up his targets & techniques, using his leg kicks would really help the visual, bcuz it makes him seem like a one-trick pony with no second gear or alternative style of attack
