  1. 8:00 Dillishaw does that all the time, even though Henry iced him. I could say Jones thorowing his left body kick from southpaw and switches back to orthodox

  2. I was lot more amazed by Anderson Silva in this fight than I was with Adesanya. Silva at 43 years old was able to read everything Israel, a 75-5 Pro Kickboxer with a 15-0 MMA record, threw at him. If Anything, Anderson Silva was supposed to get smashed in there by the younger and more technical man with longer limbs. Israel looked fantastic, but most credits should have gone to Anderson honestly.

  3. Israel had to run quite a bit from Silva. It works though. But I dont agree with that method when you're the younger, stronger fighter. They should change rules that stops running and excessive holding. Fighting is engaging with techniques. Running and holding is not a technique. I understand fighting Anderson toe to toe is stupid. But if Israel could have found a setup and taken a risk doing so, he might have been able to finish Silva. I've never seen Anderson chase anyone before that fight.
