Na it was a face wrap, maybe squeezing the sides of the neck.

Respect to maia for at least acting like it wasnt the easiest fight of his life.
If you fight maia you should prolly do some quick sprints around the inside of the octagon before and after the bell rings to break a nice sweat. Make sure u got a solid gastank and sacrifice a little of it to not get snap choked out by that fucking human snake

DraftKings: Risked $20, won $15, lost -$5.
Basically, Shane Campbell cost me from having a good night. He's just terrible. Regarding Oliveira, the fight was going the way I expected it to, and imo, he was on his way to winning a decision b4 Pettis got that submission. Also, I didn't have Chad Laprise in any teams cuz he's known as a decision fighters, not a R1 KO artist. Lastly, I didn't have Maia in a bunch of teams cuz I expected either a decision or a late finish, but I was wrong there; glad I faded Condit for the most part.
I went 8-2 on my picks, so I'm happy that I was able to read most of the fights.
I start my first semester of my teaching credential classes next week, so I won't be doing much research for my upcoming picks on DK. That being said, less research might be a good thing, considering Summer 2016 was the most I've ever watched tape/studied fighters, and it ended up being my longest losing streak on DK.

Maia just said his submission wasn't a crank, it was a choke; a blood choke. He cut off the blood flow to the side of the neck.

aw man so disappinted with the outcome of oliveira-pettis. I didn't want pettis to lose the 4th in a row but still i had to root for charles. such a shame he was caught. on the other side im also happy pettis won. I think he definitely lives up to his nickname showtime and has some very quick and sneaky subs.
im a regular at nl5

What a way to end the press conference after he said he got rocked by a shot from Maia when he was closing the distance. He said he felt a little dizzy, or something similar, and he didn't expect that from Maia.

Well its good to see him being honest. Its a reality that as you grow older and get more damage, its harder to take the shots. Everyone will end up being Ko. I would not be surprised to see DC gets KO'ed soon even though he proved to be a tank. But, that being the last question with no follow up sure sucks.

says something about what fighting does to the brain
like binge drinking booze makes blacking out progressively easier and easier
or doing blow daily for long enough leads to anxiety and panic attacks; hotwiring adrenal/nor-epinephrine response
you can tell how sick disappointed and disillusioned condit is after this one. sucks

just rewatched condit woodley.
condit basically eats the same bomb (or dam close) that put lawler away multiple times and a very hard spinning elbow. Sad that a maia gnp strike had him so phased...

Hopefully Pettis regains some confidence now. Him vs Aldo, if he actually fixes his cardio, would be quite entertaining to watch imo, prob never going to happen though.

I wasn't able to watch this one yet, the recaps Ives seen talk like Pettis was winning all the grappling exchanges and won fairly comfortably, is that just BS?
Hm.. Off-suite socks..

Forgot to bet on Condit... lucky. Glad Pettis won, he looked good. Maia what a beast, took Condit apart real fast.

Pettis had good moments but he was about to lose a decision.

I thought it was 1-1 and the 3rd round looked close, am I crazy?

Thought its 1-1 and tbh the way 3rd round went I'm fairly certain Pettis was leading, considering how he outmanoeuvred him multiple times

agree with spitfire.
oliveira basically just had takedowns; if pettis steps up his TDD he dominates

I had Oliveira winning R3 prior to getting subbed. Pettis was tired and was going to lose a decision.
and maybe is cause I bet on him and was scared he loses the decision, but now I see that the round was closer than I remembered. My point was that Pettis didnt won the match fairly comfortably it was a hard match for him. (Answering to Tianyuan)

No he was getting lit up on the feet too, his problem is his gas tank, he is better than Olivera on the feet and on the ground, he simply gets tired too quickly
