Briggs-Lyakhovich
“I didn’t fight my fight.”
Sergei Lyakhovich proved to be nothing more than another fucking mirage in the Arizona desert. We imagined a smart, crafty, durable, culturally adaptable champion--a canny strategist who could become pit-bull when he had to be.
It turns out that he was just a sluggish, petulant guy who learned colloquial English faster than most Eastern Europeans, had a pretty and quick-witted wife, and whose expressionless visage signaled only obtuseness.
Didn’t fight his fight? Why not? There was absolutely nothing to stop Sergei Lyakhovich from fighting his fight--almost whatever style “his fight” turned out to be. There are a limitless number of fights you can fight that’ll get you by Shannon Briggs.
But there’s only one way to lose to him. And you have to be truly stupid to manage it.

I didn't see the fight. I spoke to a friend who watched it this morning. He to me Lyakhovich said he didn't fight or do anything from the start.
If Lyakhovich knew how he should've fought Briggs, and didn't, especially if Briggs did nothing to prevent him from doing it, why? He also said Briggs moved him the times he did him and get land clean.
Without seeing the fight, and going by what Lyakhovich said, along with what I read and was told about this fight, there's only one reason Sergi didn't do what he was supposed to.
That is, Briggs must have hurt him early in the fight and took his nerve. Lyakhovich didn't plan or show up to lose. If he didn't let his hands go, he probably feared getting hurt exchanging with Briggs.
