Cub has such good head movement. When you rewatch this, check out 2:51 of round 2. Don`t know how he does it.

Swanson looks amazing. He'll get the KO in a couple rounds at this rate. Lets see if Stephens can respond.

I say this and now Stephens can't miss with his right hand.

loving hell that kick.

Stephens corner is saying that when Cub switches stance to throw that kick, to use a 3-2 to get him out of the stance. Interesting, specific advice.

hard to see how low-alcohol beer can benefit him in this fight, but we'll see how it works out cotton

I'm kind of frustrated by how Cub has put Stephens in danger twice with body kicks, and both times he immediately goes to the head while Stephens recovers. Maybe I'm dumb but it seems like if he'd hit the body and then kept at it instead of hunting for the big KO he'd have been able to finish.

Part of the reason you hit someone in the body is so they are forced to protect their body and not their head. So, yes you are dumb.

yo fatherdog, what's your general thought on this version of Cub we're getting? I remember you once making a comment how his resurgence was kind of perplexing

I yell at guys all the time for this, through my screen. So many guys head-hunt when their opponent is hurt and leaning against the cage. The Diaz bros are pros at going to the body during these flurries, and it works great.

He not only got way better after the WEC, but he's also continued to improve fight by fight, which for a guy who's 30 and has been fighting for 10 years is pretty genuinely unusual.

Except Stephens moved to guard his body like 4 times in the whole fight. He absolutely could have mixed in body shots to great effect.
