      @@mightyoaks77 very true!. Almost every champ believes that the belt is theirs when making the walkout, which might inflate their ego in the fight. Having the mindset of ,'no one has the belt when making the walk out', even if you the champ, is a great way to humble yourself and still have that fire to "fight for the belt"

      Soldic 2 sure proved everyone wrong too right. All props to him for capitalising on his only chance to win or it was a shut out 4-1 or 5-0. Doesn’t matter who you are, if you give your back to a grappler you’re in real trouble. Exactly the only way I thought DDP could win, if he didn’t take that opportunity he’d lose, DDP was wilting more and more and likely that was his last ditch attempt to make something happen so he deserves credit for that. Israel on the other hand will feel that was a rookie mistake/position he put himself in as it looked to the trained eye but I feel the temple shot prior slightly buzzed him with no time to recover and get himself into a simple defensive position. Simple as that
