However, she needs to incorporate some leg kicks of own her because those kicks from Joanna sure as hell slowed her down in the later rounds and restrained her movement. What's next for JJ? Probably move up to 125? Now, JJ vs Valentina is one fight I have been waiting for.

Khabib wins, no surprises there. He dominated the fight BUT NOT IN THE WAY I EXPECTED HIM TO. I was expecting takedowns and ground & pound. WTF? He fought three rounds as a striker. But makes one wonder though, if Tony fought tonight, he might have got the better of Khabib on the feet. Now, watching his performance tonight lot of the lightweights will fancy their chances against Khabib, especially Mcgregor who has been ducking him for a while now. Rose won for sure and Joanna's chin held up so it was a weight cutting issue. Yeah, scoring is wonky as hell tonight. I think Rose sealed the deal witht that takedown in the final round. Other than that, she needs to check leg kicks. All I said, based on my analysis (+ BJJScout and The Weasel breakdowns) Khabib showed his holes tonight against a #11 guy. Many people on Reddit keep circlejerking about how awesome Khabib's standup was (It's sloppy tbh) and how he was playing 4D Chess by fooling Conor into thinking he will stand and bang for some time. Like I said before, healthy Max has all the tools to beat Khabib; footwork that put the opponents on backfoot, volume punching and not backing up, plus decent TDD. Khabib seemed to have cardio issues too. I saw a video of his dad detailing how Tony could fare against Khabib and noted that Tony might last 2 rounds max with Khabib's wrestling... it seems that they were planning to finish the fight before it went too deep into the championship rounds and Khabib slowed down a bit in 3 and 4.
