Merab Dvalishvili has faced a selection of the not just the division's, but the UFC's best fighters and coaches. He has overcome them all. I wrote (loads) on the topic of gameplanning versus Merab and the disrespect with which he treats said gameplans open.substack.com/pub/ogaddmma/p…

@longearedfox Halfway to 50

I’m 25. It’s over. We had a good run. I’m now chopped and my life is over.

@Tanthiram Very rare for me to have a strong emotional attachment to an mma judging decision but man, that one kinda fucked up the whole division

Watched Allen vs Evloev again as part of the Evloev career watch and still pretty firm in the belief that Allen won. Evloev pretty cool as a fighter, think he's unfairly maligned besides the non-fighting stuff, but really think his undefeated record is a bit thin

@Tanthiram I just wanna see him fight Volk man. Just one time!

@TheBestAccoun15 I think it is in terms of like, he's won clear decisions, but his name value is so much worse. That run of Ige, Lopes, Allen, Aljo is really very strong and Evloev always looked like a very good fighter if not always coming away with clear wins

@OGaddMMA I mean its not like Murphy's record is any better in that regard LOL

That being said he 30-27'd Lopes and I'm not sure how you can score that one against him

@longearedfox Happy birthday mate, get well soon

It’s my 25th birthday tomorrow, and I’m laying in bed drinking tea because I am sick and I probably wont be able to do anything tomorrow. What a great way to celebrate 25 years of life!

Evloev has had like 5 prospect losses but he's never officially lost any of them

If you're not already signed up to the Combat Chronicles cult then there is a free 10-minute sample to try out. I think once you give it a go, you'll want to hear the rest of the episode! patreon.com/posts/153372348

For a minute there I thought Gilbert was announced for I'm A Celeb

@CombatCr @Skuntenstien Yeah na was not intending to get the ball rolling on whatever happened here 😭 sorry Kyle

@OGaddMMA @Skuntenstien It’s fine to disagree on these things, I’m only having a laugh anyway. It’s not serious.

There's something very false about Jessie Buckley. Been odds-on for months, one of the few locks of the night, and you immediately burst into tears about the announcement? This was floated on The Big Picture pod today, and I agree with them...a bit much.

@CombatCr @Skuntenstien That's so interesting, I totally don't get that impression from her lmao at all

@Skuntenstien @OGaddMMA Nah, I reckon she seems shady most of the time I see her. Right up herself. Was another performance.

I'm so glad I went all in on the guy who cooks smash burgers 50 times rather than... whatever this is

@farlandsfilm @RyanAWagMMA Get him!

@RyanAWagMMA fighters dont look for "half steps" they have declared multiple times on luke's interviews

Whenever Emmett entered, Vallejos would counter off a split step Emmett was trying to feint around, switch stances, and disguise his long range blitzes, but Vallejos' split steps let him reposition to counter immediately While Emmett was still switching up or leaping, Vallejos was already set in a wide stance ready to throw down

@CombatCr @Tyler_4P Have yet to see it to be fair but have heard many great things

@OGaddMMA @Tyler_4P Rose Byrne robbed

Male or female one of the best acting performances I’ve ever seen. Easiest award to give.

@CombatCr @LukeByron Really thought they'd take editing as well

@LukeByron Production design, casting, best actor should’ve all been LOCKS

Disgrace

@CombatCr Pretty easy one to solve really. It lost to OBAA, which had the best screenplay, best editing, best supporting actor, best casting and best direction

Lmfao at the discourse this is inspiring.
