Then again, god knows how many concussion he's had from his football years. He's likely had a ton of ringers from the NFL and after enough of those it doesn't take much to get knocked out.The Spartan wrote:I was surprised to see Marcus Jones dropped, again. I had though during most of the show that he'd have a pretty decent shot at making a go of UFC. Now, I'm not so sure he should be fighting. Especially against someone like Mitrione who, for all his faults, can throw some bombs with his fists.
It had a few moments of brilliance like the suplex, but yeah, it sucked. How the fuck does Kimbo not know how to cut off a ring? If the opponent is just going to keep circling in one direction on the outside of the ring, you don't fucking follow him on a parallel path, you step where he wants to go so that he has to do something else to avoid you, or better yet, you just move to where you can unload a punch on where he'll be in the next half second.The Slice/Alexander fight was a snooze-fest. What the fuck was Alexander doing circling for virtually the entire fight. I mean, I know he was trying to avoid a toe to toe slugfest and all but you need to have a strategy beyond move to the right a lot.
This is what you do.
Follow the path of the red arrow. All Kimbo needed to do was step diagonally to his front and unload with a left straight or hook to Houston's head. The step puts his feet in the right position to unload a power punch with his left and follow it up with a combo, and it prevents Houston from using a power right which is his knockout punch. Or if Kimbo doesn't want to get into punching range he could follow the same path without closing as much and hit him with a power kick with the right leg. He's moving in the right direction to step into the kick for extra power as well. It's basic footwork, every MMA fighter should know this stuff without having to read Anderson Silva's book on striking.
