“Let the nuts hang bro”

Crowder in his corner?

 

[WuDi]

I'm not watching but when I'm unable to tune out Rogan & Cormier I switch to the Spanish broadcast. No annoying Tweets either.

Yo entiendo castellano un poco pero no hablo muy bien

 

[Dorkman]

These scores in here, and the twitter one just all over the place. Going to be a wild decision if we get there.

 

[Shilajit]

A lot of people don't like the way Aljos style looks visually

So they don't give him the credit for what he's actually doing in there.

The commentary doesn't have that issue.

Same reason why they praised Belal. While fans shit on him and call him a bum after a dominant victory.

 

[Glass Heart]

Strange strategy by the champ.

Why? He's winning.

 

[Istryker]

Lets keep it a buck.

 

[Brandino]

Rogan most definitely is not a fan of Cejudo, normally he'd be going off on a knee like that.

 

[ryun253]

This will be one of those "(name) was robbed" decisions

 

[A Very Serious Cat]

“Let the nuts hang bro”

UFC is sponsored by manscaped after all

 

[Rio Ferdinand]

sterling outstriking henry significantly so far.

 

[Linelo]

Gotta be wary of those ducks, it’s how Cejudo timed Cruz for the big knee.

 

[Bk98]

If AJ loses this fight it’s cause he was wrestling like an idiot when he had the advantage striking

 

[Glass Heart]

This will be one of those "<insert name> was robbed" decisions

So... AJ's entire career personified.

 

[alpharowe3]

Aljo 3-0 in my book btw. The times of winning a rd with a TD in the final seconds has been over for almost a decade.

 

[Mike]

Yeah it's definitely not tho lmao

 

[WuDi]

DC: "Sterling is doing a great job blocking those shots with his face"

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

I actually don't think it's that bad in practice. Like he clearly is trying to evade strikes but his movements are pretty inefficient. He even has some feel for it, like I'd say he's better defensively than Khabib was.

His habit of ducking out of exchanges seems a little sketch, and he doesn't seem to have much regard for strikes on clinch breaks coming his way.

for me it's he's always getting caught halfway in/halfway out. it's like he 2nd guesses his original entry on his strikes and pauses in a bad position and then backs out.

 

[TGArthur]

Why? He's winning.

He's making it questionable by going for unnecessary takedowns and allowing Cejudo to take him down

 

[King in the North]

Fight is trending towards Cejudo but no idea who won the first three rounds

 

[Quietus]

I could see it 2-1 for either guy now tbh. Cejudo looks like the better fighter when they wrestle, but struggling with size difference in striking.
