Columbus, OH
The flyweights delivered yet again! Joshua Van continues to be everything we hoped he could be and more while Pantoja, at 19 years into his career, is an absolute dog. Also, look at me getting this video down to a (hopefully) more watchable length.

The "List of Sumo Tournament Champions" on Wikipedia was recently updated to include the rank of each champion at the time of their victory. So we can easily see how many times each decade a Maegashira has won. '20s - 8 '10s - 3 '00s - 2 '90s - 5 '80s - 1 '70s - 4 '60s - 4

It seems Dewanojo, the fourth heaviest sumo wrestler ever, has decided to retire. I made this drawing of him earlier in the year, and wish him luck in his next chapter. #出羽ノ城

Full article below, but a preview: The full handfighting battle that lead to the climatic knockdown.
Joshua Van and Alexandre Pantoja produced an all-time flyweight classic title fight at UFC 331, with the former coming out on top despite Pantoja emptying his physical and mental fortitude. I am here to tell you it was better than you think it was. Link: danalbert.substack.com/p/jos…

Trying to submit submission specialists when they’re half conscious is some deviously cheeky shit.

Would dearly like to see a pivot accompanying that lay back he does against the cross. He could have been punishing Pantoja's right hands from a deep angle and taken himself off-line for Pantoja's takedowns at the same time

That rear handtrap helped Van stop Pantoja from jabbing and opened up the 2-1 over and over again. If you get a beat on someone's jab, you can time that cross counter easier whether they throw first or not.

Charles Oliveira has the perfect jiu-jitsu style for modern MMA. Constant submission attempts keep his opponents off balance. He turns “failed” submissions into dominant positions. And most importantly, it’s exciting as all hell.

I have finally finished my 4 year long project of timestamping every Fights Gone By, Jack Slack Podcast, and Boicast! The purpose of doing this is to help Slack and mma fans look up techniques and tactics they are interested in. All the timestamps are posted in my bio.

Despite it being straight crazy, I think Van going for opportunistic subs is hugely encouraging. Shows that he's not disinterested in grappling like we've seen from lots of strikers. That means he's going to put in the work in the gym to keep getting better on the ground.
