Rountree’s performance was obviously beautiful but we have to give ample respect to Anders.. the guy took an unbelievable beating where many times both DC and Joe thought it was over and the guy took it, got back up and kept fighting.. and that’s the definition of a true warrior and the heart of a lion.. “it’s not about how hard you can hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep going.”

I still remember that fight so well. That version of Khalid was so devastating, he was generating so much power with those leg kicks that it felt obvious that some of those leg kicks were among the hardest ever and Anders was in a weird way just as frightening because you learned that to finish him you must turn his lights off or choke him unconscious. I don't remember him even wincing when Khalil would land but MAYBE I'm wrong although I'd bet I'm not.

Honestly after seeing some of those kicks I have to give a lot of credit for the fact he went the full fight standing.

I think long knees are so under used in mma when people shoot for the legs all the time, especially when the opponent or yourself are being backed up against the cage

You don't want to make long knees for takedown defense since only people bad at wrestling shoot before they can touch you. You'd basically give them a single.

As far as strategy goes that was absolutely textbook. 💯 He chewed his legs up to kill his movement and then let the hands go. 👌🏻👍🏻

not all UFC fighters have a strong ground game, a lot of them rely almost purely on their striking and have only some ground game tools to defend themselves IF their foe decides to go for a takedown, but is not their plan to go for takedowns themselves
