yeah he landed those power jabs and it threw Fiziev's timing off and then he just put it on him. But there was no looser in that fight, Fiziev did well for his first big event, and against Geathje of all. Both beasts

all this to end up with Islam snapping his arm or choking him out. I like Justin but how has his IQ improved. He made great adjustments but he was doing that back when he fought Tony as well. He still getting into brawls and blocking a lot of punches with his face. Still doesnt use his all-american wrestling offensively and thank to Khabib we know why..... he knows as much about BJJ as Anthony Joshua. Seems like the same flawed fighter, difference is he got an inexperienced Fiziev who may not be the monster we thought he was. Only plus side is we are closer to the Paddy Pimblet vs Fiziev fight i really want to see......

The fact that he came out of a fight with Fiziev without taking much damage is amazing. Justin is unique and its another fight for his entertainment resume

This was the smartest fight he’s ever fought in the UFC. He kept Fiziev at a comfortable distance knowing that he is shorter and later switched to his jab which was very effective. To top it all off, instead of risking the last 10 seconds and giving Fiziev a chance for a hail mary, he took him down 😀
