Larratt is one of the only guys who beats him on a regular basis after the inicial hit. I don´t think there´s anyone in the world at the moment as good as Devon on holding and wearing opponents down. But Larratt is a natural heavy, so Hutching´s is strenght is awesome.

@@adamstein7302 If Todd gets him of the inicial start it may, but if Devon holds Todd up Todd looses. On the long run Todd looses. On the long run Todd already lost. There aren't many people in the world who can stand with Laratt when the game is on after the inicial hit. Todd's side pressure is amazing but Laratt's hold is just a brick wall. Also, regarding the talk about the kings move, I also don't agree with that move, and if I made the rules that move would be banned, but so would be the "lay on the opponent arm with all body weight" like Bresnan, Chaffe and even Todd do sometimes - for example. Larrat is simply using what the rules allow to get past his worst so he can get to his best.

Levan is enjoying some success of late but he is yet to pull the best on earth and this was a prime opportunity, it's not like there are 10 elite events every year. I reckon he's ducking Pushkar, he doesn't want to get embarrassed. Wherever Andrey isn't, Levan goes there. And when Andrey is there Levan is a no show.

I don't like the way they do elbow fouls here. For example, if you don't get the position you want, you can elbow foul and try again. Even if your opponent was going to win that round. 8:45 was a good example of this. Give him the runner and give him fouls if he stays there until he loses. Anyway: Trubin taking a win over Pushkar - Huuuge for Trubin. Been following him on instagram and the dude has gained what looks like 50 lbs this year alone. Lookin jacked. Pudnik looking crazy strong in his division. He's a high hook master but his top roll is looking NASTY Todd did fantastic. I'm curious if he would have done even better if he hadn't had that war with Barboza just last week. Keep up the documentation, Ryan! :D
