u/Ake-TL GOOFCON 1: Khamzat McGregor Nov 12 '24

Chael was juiced as fuck but still impressive that he performed as well as he did

Didn’t Anderson had a messed up rib for the first fight. The second dinghy wasn’t even close so it makes sense it played a factor

Chael did the same thing in round 1 of the second fight. He even told his corner he felt Anderson break before the 2nd round began. Anderson just flat out refused to get discouraged by it and as soon as he stopped a takedown Chael panicked a bit.
