😳Aleksandre Topuria perfectly breaks down Justin Gaethje’s fighting style and how Ilia Topuria should approach it "Justin Gaethje picks his shots when you stand right in front of him, like Michael Chandler. He’s dangerous when he’s throwing, but also vulnerable at the same time. It’s a double-edged sword. You can hit him when he’s attacking, but you have to be extremely selective. He doesn't know how to hit clean. He doesn't hit clean like you. But that’s also where you need to be careful. If you decide to counter him, it has to be calculated. Keep your other hand up, stay protected, and don’t get reckless." via: @Topuriailia YT

🚨Khamzat Chimaev and Sean Strickland remember what happened during their training sessions 👀 🗣️Sean: "Me and him are just two different breeds. Fundamentally different men. Khamzat might pick like an OK guy, beat the dog out of him just to walk away and be like, “I’m Jamal, I’m a bully. I just beat this guy up." 🗣️Khamzat: "Strickland didn’t like to train with me. We had the chat group — they said we’re gonna train in Extreme. I went to Extreme. He was in the UFC and I went to the UFC PI. He went to the Extreme video, then I went back home. Then a guy started to talk. I don’t know why — maybe he’s mad because I beat him in the gym one time." via: @ufc Countdown

🇧🇷 Carlos Prates says he has been through a lot in life and does not feel pressure during fights. 👀 "I lived for 6 years in Thailand without money, without a sponsor. I fought with my hand broken, I fought sick, I fought in really bad situations for little money just to pay my bills. I’m doing what I love. I go there — what can happen? I can get hit and lose. Of course, I don’t want that, but even if I lose, I’m gonna make a lot of money, and I love that." via: @UFConParamount
