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

@Financewisdom01 Right? That elbow tuck hesitation is real as hell.

@AwedaJoshua Keep it tight and finish with power.

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

@Gozman702 About 8 seconds before I start looking for the exit 😂 I’d throw one wild punch, get countered, and immediately remember I have a family to feed

Hardcore boxing 🥊 Could you survive a fight like this? No gloves. No headgear. No protection. Just raw grit, iron fists, and the will to outlast your opponent. How long do you honestly think you'd last? #Boxing

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

@Ringfights2 You're right, most guys tuck to feel safe and end up feeding their opponent free shots. Stay committed or pay for it.

@AwedaJoshua Solid breakdown! That hesitation is exactly why so many counters land clean. Elbow up and commit every time.

@Gozman702 That little pause from tucking kills your power and hands the other guy an easy counter

@AwedaJoshua Great tip from Coach Vargas! Staying committed with that elbow up prevents hesitation and keeps your hooks explosive without handing the opponent a free counter!

@AMARU_KAKUTOUGI High stakes mentality. Either he becomes champ or he walks away. No middle ground. That’s some real conviction.

もしもブノワ・サン・デニに負けたら引退するつもりだったと語るパディ・ピンブレット👀 🗣️「実は4〜5週間前、チームのみんなに話してたんだ。『もし、この試合に勝てないなら、もう格闘技を続ける意味なんてない。もしもBSDに勝てないレベルなら、これ以上戦って何になる？ 彼に勝てないってことは、俺が目標にしている世界王者には絶対になれないってことだから。俺は世界一になるためにこの競技をやってるんだ。だから彼に勝てないなら引退する』ってね。」 via @UFC

@Financewisdom01 True, prioritizing health makes way more sense than some scripted cash grab

@AwedaJoshua Totally agree, health comes first for them!

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 Bro’s wrists are made of steel That level of body control is cr*zy

Flexibility and calisthenics go hand in hand. Strength without mobility limits your potential, while flexibility without strength lacks control. True athleticism comes from developing both. #Gym

@Nexxychoko1 Gaethje heart is unmatched. Early on it looked over, then boom, pressure and violence until the ref saved Johnson

Gaethje was in the shadow realm, then he flipped the switch and finished it 😱🔥 Justin Gaethje vs Michael Johnson was an absolute war. Gaethje got rocked early, looked like he was done for the night - but instead of folding, he dug deep, turned the pressure back on, and walked Michael Johnson down until the ref had to step in. Two warriors who left everything in the cage. This is why Gaethje is a legend. #UFC #Gaethje

@JustLarryyyy Prime Conor was different. That left hand was a sniper. 13 seconds and the whole division changed overnight

@AwedaJoshua This was back when the real Conor McGregor was still active, not the one that came out last night

13 seconds. One left hand. Conor McGregor dethroned Aldo and changed MMA forever 😱💀🥊

@Nexxychoko1 Consistency is what actually builds the body.

Progress over perfection. Keep showing up. #Gym

@JustLarryyyy Yeah the shots looked heavier. He’s carrying that size well and still moving sharp.

@AwedaJoshua Whittaker has more weight and power behind his shots now, he’ll be cracking down a lot of fighters

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

Conor McGregor's coach, John Kavanagh, says they drilled that opening jump switch kick DAILY for months leading up to the fight: "Devastated. That opening jump switch kick was drilled daily for months, multiple times in warm up. Never an issue. Knee went when he threw the very first kick. Doesn't get any worse than this."

@ChampRDS Drilled daily for months but the knee still blew on the first kick? Sounds like they knew there was an issue and still went for the flashy move anyway. Rough 😡
