Missedouton Fists: Turpal Gediev shows best takedown defense with spin kick to the face

Welcome to the mostcurrent edition of Missed Fists where we shine a light on battles from throughout the world that might haveactually been neglected in these chaotic times where it appears like there’s an MMA program every other day.

As you might haveactually heard, there’s reports presently swirling around the leading of the bantamweight department, with Umar Nurmagomedov apparently battling Song Yadong quickly rather of getting an anticipated title shot versus Merab Dvalishvili. That’s led to evenmore speculation that Dvalishvili might take on Sean O’Malley in an instant rematch, which makes no sense, however this is the world we’re living in now.

I bring all this up to state that if O’Malley requires recommendations on how to offer with Dvalishvili’s ruthless fumbling offense, well, I understand I a guy.

(Big thanks as constantly to @Barrelelapierna for their weekly lists of the finest KOs and submissions, and to @Grabaka_Hitman for submitting lotsof of the clips you see here. Give them a follow and chip in on Patreon if you can.)

Turpal Gediev vs. Raatbek Kambarov

Hey, “Suga,” why didn’t you simply do this to stop Dvalishvili’s takedowns?

At an Integra FC 19 program in Tbilisi, Georgia, Turpal Gediev made battling appearance so easy as he stopped a shooting Raatbek Kambarov by just spinning and planting his foot in his face. Seriously, this method would haveactually conserved O’Malley a lot of problem (and publishing on social media).

Often, I’d call this sort of thing a fluke, like possibly Gediev was preparation to kick the body and Kambarov simply occurred to duck into it, however after anumberof replays, it really looks like Gediev may have set that up. Either that or he made an amazing read-and-react play, which is astonishing in itself.

Will Fleury vs. Pavol Langer
Max Holzer vs. Mohammed Sadok Trabelsi

This news might haveactually flown under the radar in North America, however over in Europe there was no larger story than Oktagon MMA packing 59,000-plus wild MMA fans into Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt, Germany.

Though exact numbers are tough to confirm, as with any fight sports occasion, it’s clear that OKTAGON 62 was a smashing success, and the promo has genuinely constructed something unique even without epic names in the lineup.

Even muchbetter, the action provided with numerous unforgettable minutes, consistingof Will Fleury’s wicked best hand knockout of Pavol Langer.

Fleury has completed for Bellator and PFL, and now looksfor higher splendor in Oktagon as he tape-recorded his 2nd straight surface for the promo.

Big props as well to 22-year-old Max Holzer, who was wise sufficient to usage a scooter for his entryway at the huge location.
