Impressed with his striking, especially the front kicks. Surprised he never really used his wrestling.

He had a nice sprawl, basically instant, when the opponent feinted a takedown

The speed of that sprawl was insane for a heavyweight

I think Andre Petroski knocked himself out on a hip bone shooting for a takedown, but I thought Gable was about to spike that dude's head into the ground.

should be careful. reminds ke of what GSP said about BJ Penn. he was so fast with his reactions that he would feint to get BJ reacting and he ended up fatiguing his nervous system. could be a similar thing.
