at first i thought it was accidental / incidental but on the replay nnnope lol

If it was a full Muay Thai rules match, there’s a lot more leeway in hitting someone even if they have a hand/knee on the ground as long as those followup strikes are a contiguous part of the knock down sequence.

Apparently some drunk guy running from security stumbled up to Sean Strickland's house, where he held him at gunpoint until the cops arrived.
Only other things I learned is he holds guns left handed and is willing to get closer to a target more you'd think someone who does MMA would realize is good for them.

Chinzo Machida, last seen having a middling career in Bellator, is also fighting way down the card.

Man, Raymond Daniels has been in the game for so long.
2007, he was fighting Wonderboy in WCL, an early attempt at recapturing a old kickboxing style ruleset.
Karate Combat makes much more sense for an audience used to MMA. Makes it easier to poach athletes from broader backgrounds, too.

Before the weekend, I didn’t know where Shavkat was training. I was like, how does some dude from Kazakhstan have enough high quality training partners out there? But — there is one thing that might be the next greatest base for mma

Ok, I guess we'll be hearing Strickland drop the N-word pretty soon so Dana can move that needle
