Andrew Tackett was easily the standout at CJI for me. I love his style of grappling and his passing is non-stop. Even if something fails, he right on the next attack.
Here we see him steamroll Nicky Ryan’s crafty guard play. A little too defensive for as consistent an attack that Tackett brings.
If you missed it, I wrote an article on Tackett’s performance (along with Dricus Du Plessis’ win over Israel Adesanya). Read it below

UFC 305 and the CJI were showcases in how being a technical savant is not always the best base for success. Those who might seem less technically refined or use less conventional styles can often find success through enforcing pace, pressure, GRIT (my favorite thing).
