Ooi, it's your boy, the Marwan Rahiki of Fight Podcasts that are geeky.

Jack Slack, it's the Jack Slack podcast.

And we're coming at you following UFC Emmett versus Vajos, which was good.

I'm elated.

We had some good fights.

We had several good fights on a card. Actually quite a few

good fights on a card. Last week's episode I ended by saying this one actually looks better

than the pay-per-view last week. And then by the time the boycast rolled around, I convinced

myself, oh, actually isn't that good? And then it came around and it was actually pretty good.

Main event, Kevin Vajos mops up what's left of Josh Emmett.

Thought he looked fantastic.

Verhijos has been on my radar for a while.

Obviously, I keep saying that John Silver win over him is, well, it may not be his best win now because the Arnold Allen's one's pretty good.

But I thought for a long time that was his best win because he's met someone very, very dangerous, had a little bit of trouble in the early going with what Vajos is so good at, and then worked it out very quickly and adapted. If you watch that fight, like I always say, John Silver, starts getting out boxed quickly, goes, right, I'm going to elbow him. And Kevin Vajos goes, fuck, I can't be in the pocket with him, ends up sitting on the end of his kicks and getting elbowed when he steps in and then just sort of starts hanging around outside and Silver is able to land with his own punches after that.

It was a good answer to the Vajos problem.

The Vajos problem is that he's a very good offensive counterpuncher,

which it's only really a couple of techniques being an offensive counterpuncher.

It's moving your head to slip almost certainly the jab against anyone good.

Anything else is slower, so you're fine anyway, but slip the jab, come back with a counter and,

crucially, into combination. That's where we lose everyone. That's where we lose all the fighters in the UFC.

Move forward, slip the jab, throw counter combinations. And everyone from Tyson to Julio Cesar Chavez, every offensive counter punch you can think of,

it's been the same sort of modus operandi.
