i'd say he's a northside dub, i'm a southsider
would be interesting to see how far he rises above ''unproven'
the club i was offered work is in holland, and they have been into mma a long time over there
he looks quite light to be honest,like a stand up fighters build,and based on the footage you showed, seems better at the stand up than floor (which is where mass/strength helps)
perhaps floor work would be his Achilles heel? -

yeah, you are right, if there is a weakness it is there. His two losses both came by submission. Signs point to him improving his ground game and he has never been taken down in the UFC (only 4 fights there though). His standup is great and awkward for guys who are used to more muay thai type of style. He has won 12 in a row now.
He fights again in January, you should watch.

It's almost as if you are trying to say UFC fans aren't hipsters.

boxers v muay thai is usually quite interesting
had the pleasure of doing both and i adopt a boxers stance in mua thai, but have come unstuck with this before, got a kick to the temple once that left it a little concave to this day
an adopting muay thai against boxers can work, you can keep them away with your feet -

I think it means making new stuff in an old way/style of supposedly sustainable materials. Essentially you can't sustain finding old stuff in your parents loft once they die.

It's a low-budget ad for a hostel that desperately wants to be cool in the Copenhagen equivalent of Shoreditch 5-10 years ago. Sadly, think it's real.
According to the more recent rankings there are 6 better in the world. He is in the class of "unproven" and "not quite ready" but I think he has a good chance of being a world beater. I'd want to watch him fight any of the dudes above him on the list and would gamble on him in all but a couple of them.

cool, I was poking fun at the fact that he talks with an intense irish accent, is constantly draped in Irish flags, fights mainly in Ireland and Boston (which has a big irish-american population), etc. His name may as well be "Paddy O'Irishman"
