Full game protection from injuries is AWESOME 👏 👏
So many bettors had Barkley in their parlays for MNF and @FanaticsSports saved the day

Tough loss, half the roster is on the injury report. At least my Pierce player prop was protected 🦅

Ab*bak*r V*ga*v using a shitty long guard to defuse M*lk*un's rear hand and set up his own right hand and a takedown

Ab*bak*r V*ga*v effortlessly defeats the M*lk*un special by sitting the corner as he goes for the trip

I'm sure it's been said, but it just occurred to me that both Yan and Volk are in their second reigns, picking up emphatic title defenses in divisions where age is not kind to you. What we're seeing from these two is not normal. Two special fighters.

I don't know if I've ever seen a trilogy quite like Yan vs. Dvalishvili.
Domination by Merab in the first
Domination by Yan in the second
and a third fight which was almost split down the middle looking like their first fight, and then their second fight with Yan clearly coming out on top.

I think ethere are definitely signs Volk's aging out. That rear hand is looking diminished, a bit slower. He doesn't have quite the speed he used to, which means he has to rely more on his reads to dominate handfighting, which could be expensive vs southpaws.
Miguel Class retweeted
Going back to Yan / Merab, I don't think I agree with the takes that Yan's first two rounds are explicitly a technical regression.
There's a few reasons, so first: Merab wasn't just feinting more. He was tying those feints to solid, consistent handfighting where appropriate.

Never easy to analyse a fight with a wrestler who relies on pace and takedown attempts to chain their striking. Even small adjustments from them can create a lot of room vs great strikers without the striker really making clear "mistakes".
Miguel Class retweeted
Yan struggled to get on his jab early in the fight, Merab staying outside and feinting in and out, plus the intensity of his shot entries made it tough to get his distance
Later on Yan started aggressively punishing Merab's exits and he didn't really have an answer for that. The body kicks and left hook to the body, some lovely combinations with an uppercut to stand him up and a shifting hook as he backs away.
Miguel Class retweeted
I was concerned live as to Yan not actively jabbing early. Then I caught this & it explained a lot, as well as why so many of his adjustments involved stepping in straight on punches. So, I do have to rescind some criticism of Yan here - this was a really tricky look by Merab.

Me and @MigClass have speculated separately that Merab's cardio while still the best in the sport it's not what once was anymore. He tried to go foot to the gas the whole fight and was just not possible. He took the gamble though, something needed to be done, respect.
