Invisible until it lands. This is why fight IQ beats raw power. #Boxing

@Gozman702 Depends on the person. Some fighters thrive with family close, others get distracted. I think I’d keep them a bit back, close enough to feel supported but not right in the chaos

Rashad Evans vs. Brad Imes was a true heavyweight war, with both fighters bringing their families cageside to witness every punch, every moment, and every risk.🥊 Rashad Evans dug deep and earned a hard-fought split decision victory to become the first-ever TUF heavyweight winner. Be honest, if you were fighting in the UFC, would you let your family watch from the front row, or would you rather keep them far away from the violence? #MMA #Heavyweight

@Chrisxy24 Don’t climb if you don’t want the slam. Simple gym rules. The peace sign was cold though 😂

The rules are that if you don't want to get hit in the back of the head don't turn your head when someone is throwing punches at you. Similarly, if you don't want to get slammed don't climb up. When he got scooped , he should haved put his feet on the ground instead of straddled dude …. But mane that head hit is dangerous. The commentary cracked me up That peace out✌🏾 after the slam was straight disrespectful 😂😂

@hatanolu11 Instincts kicked in instantly. That reaction time is what separates elite fighters from everyone else. Don’t play games in the gym

@AwedaJoshua Instincts don't lie 😭 That reaction time tells you everything about his training. Respect the sport, but don't test the wrong one.

Sparring partner tried to play dirty, big mistake 😱 Rolly Romero catches the illegal shot and immediately turns it into a judo slam. No warning. No hesitation. This is what happens when you test the wrong fighter. #Boxing #RollyRomero

@offdannyblxck Rolly has some wrestling/grappling background from his amateur days, which is why that judo slam looked so clean. Receipts were delivered.

@AwedaJoshua I like receipts in sparring and this was no exception. Also did Rolly Romero do grappling before becoming a boxer?

Massive respect to Eryk Anders for surviving to the final bell. Taking that kind of targeted leg destruction and refusing to take a step back or quit shows what these fighters are truly made of. Warrior spirit. 🛡️💯 #UFC

@D__Zachi Classic comeback. Taylor was lighting him up and Pavlik just kept coming. That chin and will to win were elite

"One of boxing's greatest comeback knockouts." When Kelly Pavlik knocked out Jermain Taylor for the middleweight title. How Pavlik survived that onslaught is wild.

@D__Zachi Exactly. That hesitation mid-punch is what gets you countered every time. Commit or don’t throw it

@AwedaJoshua Makes perfect sense. The moment you second-guess a punch, you're already giving your opponent the opening they need to capitalize.

BEWARE the ELBOW! 😳 That clip you keep seeing in fights? It’s usually not intentional. Coach Joe Vargas breaks it down: when you throw a big looping hook and try to tuck your elbow on the way back to “be safe,” you hesitate, kill your rotation, and hand your opponent a free counter hook. Stay committed. Keep that elbow up. Go all in. The fighters who get hurt are the ones second-guessing mid-combination. #Boxing

@byoncombatID That power and composure on debut is scary for the division

@AwedaJoshua What a debut, Whittaker looked powerful, composed, and made an instant statement at light heavyweight

Welcome to Light Heavyweight Rob 🤝 Robert Whittaker makes his 205lb debut and immediately breaks his opponent’s jaw with one clean shot. The ref had no choice but to step in. Bobby Knuckles looked sharp, powerful, and completely at home in the new division. This is just the beginning. #UFC #RobertWhittaker

@daniels_bukola Personal or not, that was the perfect response. Do you think Rolly was extra triggered or is this just how he handles any dirty play?

@AwedaJoshua That was a personal attack or shot to Rolly Romero

@Nexxychoko1 Play dirty, get slammed. Simple as that. Rolly handled business real quick 😂

@AwedaJoshua Illegal shot met with instant consequences. Rolly didn’t hesitate

@Gozman702 Yeah, Rolly said ‘not today’ and turned that dirty shot into a highlight reel judo slam 😂 Don’t play with these guys in the gym

@AwedaJoshua That’s savage! Rolly turning a dirty shot into a textbook judo slam shows why you don’t test elite fighters in the gym!

@AMARU_KAKUTOUGI Love seeing these old fights. Sudo’s movement and creativity were wild

24年前の今日⏳️ #UFC38 🇯🇵須藤元気 × 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿レイ・レメディオス 須藤元気がトリッキーな動きと多彩な攻撃の仕掛けでレメディオスを翻弄… 最後は力強く相手を投げてテイクダウンを奪うと、超速でバックを奪いリアネイキドチョークで一本勝ち⚔️

@Gozman702 Real injury. The knee clearly buckled. If it continued I think Holloway wins a decision, but Conor was swinging for the fences early so who knows.

Conor McGregor vs. Max Holloway 2 promised fireworks, but fate had other plans. 🥊 Paddy Pimblett called it "sad to see" after McGregor's injury brought the highly anticipated rematch to a heartbreaking halt before it could truly begin. Sometimes the biggest fights end before they truly begin. 🥊 What's your take? Do you think McGregor's injury was genuine, or do you believe the fans who claim he faked it? And if the fight had continued, who do you think would have won? #UFC329 #CombatSports

@Gozman702 Rob looked great at 205 Clean KO and he seemed right at home. Division just got more interesting

@AwedaJoshua Bobby Knuckles just announced his arrival at 205 with authority! Welcome to the Light Heavyweight division, Rob!

@Ringfights2 Exactly. The way it buckled and how he reacted looked way too genuine. Staging a knee injury that visibly would be crazy dangerous.

@AwedaJoshua Exactly. The knee buckle looked painful and real. Staging that would be insanely risky for everyone involved

Conspiracy theories are fun but this one feels like a reach. The knee clearly buckled, do you really think they’d risk his health (and the company’s reputation) just to ‘cash out’?

@Nexxychoko1 Quality > quantity every single time. Ego lifting looks cool on camera but feels terrible the next day 😂

Focus on controlled reps, full range of motion, and quality over ego. #Gym

Holy Moly !! That bag of pudding got rocked!! All the lice flew out of his hair on that last shot! His tattoos even dropped 4 inches lower! 🤣🤣🤣 Dont ask for more in a fight! You invited him with a gesture of two hands, he came, you find yourself on the ground Peteuzella was mad confident until he got knocked down… I know he felt embarrassed after that KO. His face when he stood up was priceless. He knew he was gonna be on espn later

@Chrisxy24 The lice and tattoo jokes are wild but that reaction was actually priceless. He knew he was cooked
