Ash-Shakur Nafi-Shahid Stevenson vs. Shuichiro Yoshino & Keyshawn Davis vs. Anthony Yigit RBR.

Yeah, the whole premise of the fight is can Yoshino push through hell and land the lottery ticket shot. He signed up for that.

If you're not gonna let him try why even have the fight?

 

Nakatani is vulnerable to wide shots around the guard and volume punching, which is what Yoshino does well.

 

Same ref from the Mattice fight aye?

 

Shakur is the truth.

That stoppage doe.

 

Very accurate from Stevenson

Yoshino had no variety though. He had the same stance coming forward all night. It was target practise for Stevenson.

Frame
Neutralise
Attack
Repeat

Loma and Haney would be something different altogether.

 

Dude was bum.

 

I love Loma but he's on the way out. Shakur is the future of 135.

 

@WhataRock it finished in time for me to make it to a mates casual backslapper BBQ for the UFC main event

 

Sure bro. Stevenson made him miss everything. Yoshino looked decent in the 1st round until Shakur figured out his patterns. Even if you consider him limited, he's still a solid contender.

 

No surprise yall in here hating. That was his first fight at lw against a guy many here said would knock him out or give him hell. He's legit and nobody at 135 touching him.

 

Shakur against the winner of Haney vs Loma would be nice. He looked really comfortable at 135 and he may well stay in that division for awhile.

 

Lol you are such a Pom Pom waving fan girl

 

Bad stoppages and upsets plagued this weekend......smh

 

Stevenson closed as a 20-1 favorite and it showed. Yoshino was limited and it was very evident from the very beginning of the fight.

 

I'm back to the Bam fight and some Easter eggs.

 

Because this fight was never about "could Yoshino's power get him the golden ticket?" This fight was about "man Shakur is so skilled, so dazzling, his **** is so massive and strong, look at him tee off on this limited opponent we scouted and handpicked...I'm sorry, 'That dared to say yes!' ( )" This was a Shakur showcase, and he showcased enough, now he needed the "mercy stoppage" from the ref.
