Chin Check - 149 (Recap)

We got BIG answers, comebacks, a HUGE shock, UFC 258 packed a LOT into ten fights!

Phil Rowe & Gabe Green got the night rocking with a great display, full of action. And though not necessarily the wisest thing to do, props to Green for not wanting to f@&k up Rowe's leg and going for the submission instead!

Then Polyana Viana showed what a problem she is on the ground.

Belal Muhammad showed why 'Bully' is his social handle, with that suffocating display of grind!

AND, how many people had Anthony Hernandez winning via submission??? Had to be one of the biggest upsets and impressive things seen inside the Octagon!!!

Talking about displays of heart, after weathering a great effort from Maki Pitolo, and finding his footing after nearly three years on the sidelines. Julian Marquez mounted a third round renaissance, pulling off an anaconda choke for the comeback win. THEN, calls his shot with Miley Cyrus!

Kelvin Gastelum utilised focus, experience, and diversity to recharge his mission for gold! And in the Co-main, Alexa Grasso showed she's not getting bullied in the clinch, her hands are fast & sharp and her BJJ game is straight legit! But in defeat Maycee Barber's effort in the third round was the heart you want from a young, hungry fighter!

THEN, that Main event, WHAT!!! Gilbert Burns didn't come to play, he gave his all f'sure. BUT, Kamaru Usman is a nightmare, it's not just in the name. Coming off the back foot, to implement an imposing jab, a brutal top game, and then close the show how he did. PLUS, break Georges St-Pierre's welterweight record with thirteen straight wins! Name = respect, AndStill!!!

So, let's break it all down, in today's (ep 149) @ChinCheckPod
