Shabliy approaches Davis shuffling and bouncing side to side. Davis tries to ward him off with a lead hook, but Shabliy covers and bounces inside it with his own. The short bounces keep his legs activated to spring off immediately, and his lateral movement makes his attack less predictable.

Shabliy blitzes Davis to the cage and Davis goes for a spinning elbow The next time, Shabliy shows the blitz and shoots under the elbow, then hits him on the way up

Alex Shlemenko still doing his thing at 75 years old, landing counter body hooks on Nikola Dipchikov

Justin Gaethje's Transitional Attacks 📽️ I talk about how Gaethje used his clinch entries and transitions to set up offense and defuse Topuria's As well as what Topuria could have done differently to mitigate Gaethje's tactics

Gaethje lands a sneaky head kick on the break

The lead leg headkicks were a clever look from Gaethje. Ilia never counters these and whenever he threw it, Ilia would have to keep his right hand pinned at his head, giving Gaethje time and space to circle away

Gaethje's hands are so hard that he kept snapping Topuria's head back and busting up his face with a little swatting jab, thrown with very little power and not even landing on the big knuckles The quick release and downward trajectory made it difficult for Ilia to get outside or underneath it
