"He confirmed an ESPN report that Michael Chandler will face Charles Oliveira for the vacant title on May 15 at UFC 262." This is garbage, it should be Dustin Poirier vs. Charles Oliveria for the title. Michael Chandler is good, but he should have to fight at least another fight in the UFC before he get a title shot IMO. https://sports.yahoo.com/dana-white-ends-pursuit-of-retired-khabib-nurmagomedov-29-0-it-is-042525950.html

Following up on Brick's post about calf kicks, this is what happened to Kai Asakura's leg in his rematch with Kyoji Horiguchi. He only took like 2 or 3 of these low, low kicks. One landed at least partially on the shin near the knee but that didn't help Kai at all. That's normally the ideal area used to check leg kicks.

Calf kicks are the most OP things in MMA right now, it's actually absurd. They're extremely low risk, take very little wind up, it's hard to catch and counter, and also hard to get a takedown off them. Very difficult to check too. I'd even wager they do more damage to a fighter than punching them in the face.

My warehouse has a Saturday MMA meet-up, one of the members was trying to grapple buddy to the ground, but as his opponent broke the grapple we all heard something crack. Turns out that the grappler broke a bunch of bones in his hand from a prior injury and is off work for a month. Talk about OOF. Gonna try and get the x-rays from him when I get the chance.
