So many kicks! Le became exhausted pretty quickly, otherwise I think he would have finished Chris much, much earlier. Kicks after about 15 stopped having the same impact. Stamina matters. Also health, which Le had none of, but he did kick enough that it didnt matter, as Weidman couldn't get close enough to punish him for having trashy health.
Chris Weidman looks a bit uneasy. Hopefully this doesn't affect his performance.

So many kicks! Le became exhausted pretty quickly, otherwise I think he would have finished Chris much, much earlier. Kicks after about 15 stopped having the same impact. Stamina matters. Also health, which Le had none of, but he did kick enough that it didnt matter, as Weidman couldn't get close enough to punish him for having trashy health.
