I was listening to Cory Sandhagen on JRE and he was saying you pretty much have to be able to fight in both stances to compete at the highest level, but as I've rewatched Pereira vs Adesanya I notice Pereira seems to always fight orthodox and he's arguably the most proficient striker in the UFC. Who are some other high level strikers that stick almost exclusively to 1 stance? Conor Mcgregor? Is it common for muay thai fighters/kick boxers to use both stances ambidextrously? I get it's good in case your lead leg gets kicked repeatedly and you can make yourself harder to read by throwing combos from both stances, but maybe it's better to just be super good in 1 stance with occasional switch/step type attacks.
