The way volk laid there I thought tai was gonna wake up and start ground and pounding him like when a fighter tries to fight the ref lol

 

[taugrim]

Is the left arm/fist what's under the neck?

I'm more used to seeing it done from the submitter on the bottom, a la Oleinik.

 

[modulus]

Man, poor Tuivasa - love the dude
No shoey tonight.

 

[TheNinja]

Love Tai but that just looks like an embarrassing way to go out.

 

[OleBuffalo]

Apologies ahead of time for pandering, but just lemme have this one after Izzy blew up some of my sweet sweet parlays

Wonder how much was Oleinik an inspiration.
Love this choke from either top or bottom, works surprisingly well.

Can't recall ever seeing that choke in MMA. I'm sure it's been done before but must be very unusual.

EDIT: Just saw the post above, didn't realise it's the same one Oleynik does

Tuivasa kind of sucks

Tuivasa seems like a chill, nice guy, but I always am happy to see him lose so I don’t have to watch him and a bunch of people from the crowd doing those disgusting, putrid “shooeys”. Like dude was taking random mens shoes from the crowd and drinking from them after he won. Like anybody could just give him a shoe full of beer and foot fungus and blood from ingrown toenails and he wouldn’t know cuz he’s just grabbing any shoe to drink beer from it. Fucking grotesque.

Hunt and Nelson were better

 

[checktheknuckles]

Tai was looking old as fuck in there, with some deep ass wrinkles on the forehead.

Volkov said post-fight that Oleinik taught him the choke.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

Tai Tuivasa is a fan friendly but limited fighter. He kind of sadly looked like Homer Simpson out there. He needs better setups over just throwing punches and hoping they land. Probably should have been more reserved too until he could close the gap

 

[The Accuser]

It's weird Volkov didn't get a bonus.

 

[Poatan Power]

yeah why no bonus? Ezekiel's are not easy to get at this level.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

@Clementine you said on the playbyplay that Tuivasa's new hair was a bit scruffy, and reminded you of Earthquake Evans. All in all he is a sloppy mess, not a high level fighter to be fair. He has no set ups for anything, just throws as hard as he can. Funny guy but not a lot of skill

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Fairly easy against a guy who has no idea what it is or how to defend it

 

[markys00]

Lol tai just lays there as he gets mounted.... volkov just clobbers him and tais like 'oh shit!'
