Both these guys at the beginning of there primes, both have unique and interesting fight styles and both have frankly terrifying mindsets on the sport of mma, thank the mma gods this is 5 rounds!!! 🙏🏼

@listenup7284 Год назад

What? Sandhagen looked better a couple years ago. Chito is hitting his stride.

@MikeySkywalker Год назад

@@listenup7284 based on what? Sandhagen absolutely destroyed Yadong last time they fought. A few years ago he was getting subbed by Aljo in like 15 seconds. He’s lost two fights. One to Yan, and one to Dillashaw, which was a robbery.

@kw4704 Год назад

Chito has unwavering confidence in himself, where he wants to be, and what he wants in life. I sense some uncertainty from Sandhagen, like he is still figuring out what he wants - who knows if that is a negative or positive thing, but it's definitely a 180 from Chitos mentality.
