Varga lost a good fight where he had some good moments against one best lightweights since 2011 mate,his teep-front kick technique is actually good and he landed some on RVR jaw on their fight,but RVR was smart on outwork him on leg kick combinations and circling him to avoid straight punches and kicks from the taller fighterHe had some of the worse kick defense out of a "Muay Thai" based fighter I've seen in a while, and his teeps were sad to watch, even Dustin fucking jacoby showed a way better teep
Is Saenchai still under contract with Glory? He only fought for them once.I want to see RVR vs Saenchai for the featherweight title now or is Embree set to fight for the title next?

Yeah,RVR is set to defend the title against Embree(contender tournament winner)I want to see RVR vs Saenchai for the featherweight title now or is Embree set to fight for the title next?
Its not that RVR looks any better at 65 than 70. Its that his opponent was at a much lower level than Sittichai. Did anyone think Varga had a chance? At 65 Varga is decent. At 70 he's a Jauncey. 70kg division is another animal and in the last year RVR had only faced Sittichai twice so it may seem that he's gotten better but I doubt it made much difference. He maybe a little more comfortable at that weight tho.
I'm not buying the whole "no one can touch him at that weight " Kaew would handle him and don't forget about Petpanomrung.
Thongchai looked how a Thai with his experience should of looked against his opponent but still I like that he has power at that weight class.
Thongchai's opponent was 5 - 6. I'm sure if sittichai fought someone at that level he would look more exciting too.He is certainly more exciting to watch than Sittichai. Faster, more powerful, more aggressive (but leaves himself open to punches more aswell). Will be interesting to see him against more competitive guys.
Even when he gets agressive he just seems slower and less powerfulThongchai's opponent was 5 - 6. I'm sure if sittichai fought someone at that level he would look more exciting too.
Thongchai's got crazy power at that weight tho. He didn't even land flush when he knocked him down in the second. You can tell he likes to hurt people as well.
