The fact that they made Stipe fight Francis in that tiny ass cage the second time they fought is why we saw Stipe get eaten alive the way he did. You can’t fight a guy like Francis with barely any space to maneuver
This shouldn't even be a thing. Have 1 regulation size. No switching back and forth. They don't switch the field sizes for NFL, NBA, or NHL depending on where it is. It's ridiculous.
Small cage is actually good for up and coming fighters because it’s easier to get a takedown for grapplers and it forces strikers to engage more. Can make a name for yourself easier here
strickland is also a grappler so he doesn’t fear getting taken down, but for strikers who dont have a grappling background like omalley or pereira a bigger cage is better
The small cage benefits aggressive fighters because there’s tons of strikers with scary power that you can’t get away from in a small cage just like not being able to get away from a wrestler
Boxing also has different size rings. I think it's an interesting variable, like he said one can benefit some people more than others, so we should be using more than one in total fairness.
He is gonna starch merab. Sean isn’t full of himself as a fighter. He knows his limits and he has fear. He trains all the time regardless of having a fight. Plus his ground game is not shit like people say
suga definitely got that unpredictability knock hiss ass out but 100% merab's going to drain his stamina grappling if he doesnt catch him inthe early rounds
@@santoze1 I don’t think merab is on Sean level. I think it’s 1st round knockout cuz merab is not gonna be able to contain himself. Might even be a knee
@firstwavenegativity6379 idk but I would guess that if the finish rate of a ufc fight is lower that 50% statisticaly less fights would make the finish rate farther from 50 in both ways. I guess it's higher if he is telling the truth
I like rogans idea of them fighting on an open surface...like they were saying about half of a basketball court..put some mats down and you're good.....theres no cages to hold someobody up in a street fight....ans it also gives guys with good footwork more room to work with.
@@kieranjanczur8069aljo is a better striker than merab. Merab is also much more chinny. He’s shorter, stubbier, and won’t be able to grab ahold of a much longer omalley. IMO a terrible matchup for merab. Sean chins him.
I think merab has a better chance than sterling and vera if I'm going to be honest. Sterling got comfy with belt, vera already beat Sean so was kind of comfy. Merab wants to make a name for himself. It'll be a good fight, can't wait. Love Sean's fights absolutely FILLLED with action.
I always say the Apex octagon plays a big factor. I don’t know if Francis would’ve got Stipe out of there that quickly if he had more space same with Sterling and Sandhagen.
@naimgrizzly7280 I'm pretty sure that question has been answered already... guy gets rocked every fight he's ever been in and than usually wins it...😂

Still gives wrestlers the advantage.
wow i actually didnt know the cage itself was smaller, i just thought the arena/audience capacity was smaller
Good editing!
Nlg a title fight in the small cage could be interesting
Idk if someone like Strickland dominates the Apex idk why people say it doesn’t benefit strikers, ether that or Strickland is just that good
Strickland hasn't dominated any high level grappler
strickland is also a grappler so he doesn’t fear getting taken down, but for strikers who dont have a grappling background like omalley or pereira a bigger cage is better

Because there was less fights in it

How many streets really happen in open fields? Between cars, buildings, and other infrastructure, obstacles are a major factor in real world violence
4 steps and yall meet in the center is crazy. You should have a solid stroll to the center to give you time to think
We’re getting back to those roman roots
Big cage are for the runners. If you don't want a grappler to dominate you train on your grappling that's what MMA fighters are supposed to do.
They do it because the ufc wants to favor a fighter depending if its the striker or grappler. Its obvious
They did stipe dirty by having him fight Francis in there.
Not that I think he would’ve won, but still.
He was able to catch Aljo. He will 100% catch Merab.
Lmao. I don't think so..

Small cage benifits all pressure fighter because it limits your ability to move around.

What show is this
Big or small max holloway only needs the center lol
They need to stop the Apex cards. Was cool for a while being able to hear coaches and stuff but enough man covid is over
And think of the lhw and hw who are like 6ft, most of them over 6ft tall
Don’t you think they should have a different belt for cage size as it does benefit a particular type of fighter and vice versa
Yeah grapplers got enough rules bent in there favor already
Name of the beat on the background?
With all the money they make, there is no reason to have a small cage
