I thought he looked very comfortable even after the four. He didn't seem bothered a bit. He gave the TD at the end and knew he wasn't getting turned...

Yes, all signs indicate that Spencer Lee is extremely strong. His top game and gut wrench is one indication. Another sign is that he can do one-arm pull ups without the aid of the other arm supporting the active arm. I once challenged fellow wrestlers in a wrestling room to do this and no one could. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, those are insanely difficult. I can do 15-20 perfect form, full ROM pullups, but can't even budge a one arm pullup. Some top climbers seem to do them with ease. Having low body weight and really high grip and pulling strength are necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nhs67 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Johnson loses 11-0 (10-0 and a failed challenge). The guy gave it everything this tournament.

Dictionary Definitions from Oxford Languages · Learn more swole /swōl/ verb US dialect form of swollen or swelled (see swell). "his little foot swole and swole till his little toes stuck out" adjective INFORMAL•US extremely muscular (used especially of a man). "if you're swole you'll look good in anything" Yep... I have to agree. Zain looks swole, indeed. (He's practically one of, if not the swole-est guy in the bracket!) That's swell... uh, that's he swole, yes? But let us not dwell, that he's swole and it's swell. Zain has two more to go AND the next one IS important. On we go. D3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
