Instagram models w/6 packs = athleticism. Everyone knows that. But seriously, anyone who defines athleticism by judging how a body looks is an idiot.

Andy Ruiz was never unathletic..let’s just make that clear. 260+ and more agile than a lot of middleweights out there.

Whitaker wanted to make it an exciting fight and came forward looking for the KO. Didn’t work out well for him. Most people don’t know shit about fighting. In most people’s eyes, all brawls are good fights. It’s the elite fighter that uses intelligence, tactics and skill.

You can blame much of modern BJJ/grappling/instruction for this. Aljo is correct. The sport of jiu-jitsu has been rewarding cowardice for some time now and is getting further away from its intended use of “self-defense”.

Go back and watch round 1 of Aljo/Yan again. Watch for landed strikes, effective techniques etc. Not a controversial decision. Walking forward and not throwing/landing anything doesn’t win you a round. 1, 2, 3 for Aljo. 4 & 5 for Yan.

Wonder why Mcgregor is being courteous/agreeable? (Was for Cerrone as well) He doesn’t need to “hype” his fights anymore. And if you’re truly dangerous (he is), you don’t need to tell your opponent that you are. A predator doesn’t let the prey know that he’s coming. #UFC257
