it was scary to watch both santos and walker got inside the cage, i knew one could drop instantly but the two show they can be very careful to last til the decision. expectation not met but enjoyed it.
been a fan of holland too since the time he knocked someone while on the ground, i think he did this twice in his career in mma.
i was really expecting him to win in that match if it werent for that accidental headbutt, i think he will really win. he handled it well despite it. we'll be seeing him again.
It was ok for me to watch them and really expected Thiago Santos winning it, but I never really expected how Johnny Walker did and with his new fighting style of fainting hit, I think it will be very effective if executed properly and often times he would surely let the strike fly at Thiago Santos, but still kudos for both fighters.
I was expecting Holland to win aswell, DC was commenting on his performance while he's replying to DC at the same time while fighting was really fun to watch you would know that he has control over the fight, But unexpected things surely happen, but respect to the guy.
Yes, I get that about Santos that he is a counter puncher but Walker's change of pace amazed me and I feel this will not help him that much playing this much passive. But that is also too early to say, we might need a see more fights to come to a conclusion about the coach if he's good enough or not. Till then we can't say anything for sure.
All I can say is he could surely apply what he learn from his new coach, but it just varies to the situation, and we can not expect him to apply it and be good at it on his first try, he surely need a sparing partner to apply it more often, and with a fighter like Thiago Santos, I think an aggressive approach is most likely what he needs to to.
I had free time and I watched all UFC event and I think that main event was very boring, it seems that Thiago Santos is the reason for boring fights.
It's shame that Kyle Daukaus didn't win against Kevin Holland because of head kick and no content, but I hear that Holland prevented some street robbery after that, so all respect to him.
In my opinion it is not really boring just in my perspective, it is just his style, and I am expecting Walker to comply in an aggressive manner but he is more cautious and fainting strikes all the time, that made the fight more boring, but still I am good about it, because Thiago did won,
Well, I never expect Holland did something like that, after that unexpected heatbut and being all OK with it respect to him, but that preventing a street robber he should be more careful because he might never know what may happen.
It shouldn't have been ruled a no-contest he says. I don't know if he still feels that way after watching the replay and seeing how Holland landed on the ground face-first. How he still managed to stay conscious from that was impressive on its own.
