.@ThomasalmeidaCB is a young guy but he fights with the fight IQ of an old veteran. I'm massively impressed with him.

Thomas Almeida looks like Mclovin. A badass Brazilian McLovin. #UFCFightNight77

That was a ridiculous knockout! You can't fight Almeida in a shootout. Gotta be slow and controlled. That's how I win that match-up. #UFCSP
