      If I knew for sure it was from a kick I would agree @michaelmau2873, but like @skrappamts417 said there's one punch early on where he cracks him in the forehead- and I could totally see that being where the break came from

      @@MMA_Ape in my eyes that’s what makes it so bad. Sergi is a genuinely dangerous heavyweight (honestly I see most heavyweights as being pretty bad in terms of technical ability) so rushing the recovery seems like a really bad idea. Especially with all the damage he took, he realistically should have taken the rest of the year if not a whole year to recover from that fight. To me I think the damage being quickly accumulated will leave Tai permanently damaged, and even an inferior version of himself. I think he isn’t going to look the same and will trade wins and loses for a few years before being dropped or retiring.

    Font vs Vera made me realize how much the ufc commentary is bad. The guys just dont understand blocks and parries. Chito is master at those and that's why in the end he looks barely damaged, while Font looks like he's been in a car crash. Chito actually defended many of those strikes that Bisping loses his voice on.

    • @MMA_Ape
      @MMA_Ape  Před rokem +1

      To be fair, there is a turning point in that fight that Bisping starts to point out how Chito is blocking or rolling a lot of the shots. The highlights shown could have made it seem like he never made that point

    • @MMA_Ape
      @MMA_Ape  Před rokem +1

      I remember it being that way also, but also I didn’t intentionally leave anything out, I think it’s just that a lot of the strikes Kattar landed were jabs- some significant, some not. I also think Kattar landed the more damaging strikes, particularly the elbows. So even though Giga’s landing a lot, Kattar eats most of it without changing his expression, whereas Giga is wearing the damage more

    • @curtharakaly4620
      @curtharakaly4620 Před rokem

      exactly...Giga was getting dominated the last 2-3 rds badly. Kattar was landing like 5 strikes or more for every one of Gigas. Damn awesome video though. Definitely had to keeping rewinding and watching parts 3-4 times haha

    My personal opinion:
    Yadong was going to break Sandhagen, dude wouldn’t go away
    Loved watching Katter humble Giga for various reasons
    Font is done in the UFC or at least at a high level, he’s going to get released or be a gatekeeper
    Beautiful performance from Ciryl but that standing hammer fist he lands towards the end sours it a bit for me

    • @RubenS39
      @RubenS39 Před rokem +1

      @@MMA_Ape I enjoy your videos and I appreciate the response brother! Keep up the good work! The reason I say Font is done is because he’s already 35, on a two fight losing streak against stronger strikers, and he’s set to face Yanez next (who I consider a strong striker). Font was not able to hurt Cody who is not looking good at all recently so, I don’t see him hurting Yanez. If it does play out with a win for Yanez that puts Font in a three fight losing streak, which is never a good position to be in so idk where he would go from there. Plus I think him losing to Chito took a lot out of him physically and mentally. Again, just my opinion

    • @MMA_Ape
      @MMA_Ape  Před rokem +1

      Yanez does seem to kind of be the newer/younger/faster version of Font so I agree Yanez probably gets it done. If Font loses then I agree he probably parts ways with the UFC in one way or another.
