He wasnt efficient with his energyConor in the 1st nate fight. whipping overhands and wheel kicks. truly believed he'd' ko nate
How can you be sure of that? Carwin was not some kind of technical boxing expert and Mir has put on a few impressive striking performances.Mir didn’t have the advantage at range lol
And it’s who had the advantage on the ground. Mir couldn’t do Shit to Brock from the bottom.
Carwin was a much better boxer and striker than Mir. And it wasn’t just from the clinch.How can you be sure of that? Carwin was not some kind of technical boxing expert and Mir has put on a few impressive striking performances.
Carwin=/=Lesnar on the ground
He would have been much better off attempting to shoot where he could pull guard if he had to instead of trying to drive Carwin to the fence and dirty box with one of the best dirty boxers and biggest power puncher in the divisionCarwin was a much better boxer and striker than Mir. And it wasn’t just from the clinch.
Mir initiated the clinch because he knew this. At least with the clinch he could try to drag it to the ground and avoid Carwins power shots (which ended up backfiring obviously)
Agreed. Or maybe tried to use a lot of footwork and kicks. But I just don’t think he could keep that up, he wasn’t THAT mobile and light on his feetHe would have been much better off attempting to shoot where he could pull guard if he had to instead of trying to drive Carwin to the fence and dirty box with one of the best dirty boxers and biggest power puncher in the division
just in general he does he fights very poorly with the skills he hasWhich fight?
That's true, but there is no denying that what he did was the dumbest possible strategy.Agreed. Or maybe tried to use a lot of footwork and kicks. But I just don’t think he could keep that up, he wasn’t THAT mobile and light on his feet
DC vs Stipe recently. DC had that fight in the bag, but his ego took over and he lost the fight. He lost his last fight, which he knew he could win, which makes it so much more painful. Now he has two unfinished business and he is 40 and ready to retire.
How did he have the fight in the bag? Rounds 2 and 3 both men did damage.. 2 judges had the fight 2-1 DC. Then Stipe whooped him in the 4th. He is not wresting Stipe for 5 rounds. Stipe is too good a wrestler. DC would waste too much energy. That big TD he got in round 1 he is not doing for 5 rounds.. He tried a TD in round 3 and Stipe easily shrugged him off..
Wrong. DC was gassed and after round 2 he was unable to take Stipe down.
Miocic ate everything DC thew at him. Stipe was just thougher and more powerful that night.
Cat has notoriously bad fight IQ. Not just The Ronda fight. Watch how she kept losing the grappling exchanges against Pena. Yet she initiated the clinch every chance she got.Nah, title is "dumbest" fight IQ. Cat chose to strike against a grappler. That's not dumb.
Sure she could have chosen a less risky strike, but actually choosing to grapple with a superior grappler, like Mike Perry taking down Cowboy to choose one of many examples, is significantly dumber than choosing to strike with one, as Cat did.
