Shogun is riding that 3-fight win streak!
Too bad he waited until he was pat his prime before he started to fight smart.
The body shots are a big improvement but he was still doing the same old shit, right deep hooks all day, no jabs and in general useless left hand, he won because Villante kept throwing that lazy jab and eating a hard right every single time, he would have won if he just stopped throwing that left, Shogun seemed out of shape to me.
Gastelum throws that 1-2 veeeery long and fast I think he is going to have trouble with good counterstrikers who use distance well like Wonderboy if he goes down again, Vitor is obviously done, I dont know why somebody as strong and explosive and porous defense plays that low-volume walking back game, that is not the style that works for him.

Shogun used a jab, way more than I remember him using in the past. His head movement was better as well. His core striking is still the same, except that he throws less leg kicks these days because his knees are gone.
Shogun looked like shit on the weigh-in scale, so maybe he was out of shape. He trained for his previous 2 fights at Kings MMA, but he stayed in Brazil for this fight and trained a lot at Demian Maia's gym and some other gym with a bunch of random guys (he didn't need high level training for Villante).
Shogun wins in the end, as he has two kids and a beautiful wife:

the flipflops man, that was the sign lol
LOL.
lost all my bets. why didnt I listen to flipflop advice. i had to make that last minute vitor bet.
It's easy to look at it now since the fight is over, but if I was chasing on the main event, I would've bet u1.5 rounds at -125. Vitor can only win in R1, and he has been finished a lot in R1.
Also, feel free to share your potential bets in this thread (before you make the bets). It's always good to get some discussion going if you're unsure of a certain fight or fighter.
