Nice cheating by Oliveira putting his fingers in Dustins glove in the 2nd round. Only bcoz of that he could get Dustin to the ground to start the ground n pound.
I obviously know nothing about MMA, but why didn’t the guy on the bottom just throw himself back really hard and try to wriggle out just as he impacted the ground? I understand that if you’re on your back with a guy underneath you, it will be even easier for him to choke you, but doesn’t that seem like a risk worth taking in that situation?
Spoiler tagged since that’s apparently a big deal with MMA on here. Just trying to be respectful.
Islam Makhachev is the best UFC Lighweight. Time will tell

Moral of UFC 269: Don’t go to the ground with someone who’s better at grappling than you, not even if you’re on top or if your opponent’s rocked
See: Ryan Hall, Julianna Peña, Charles Oliveira
