Winn is doomed to fail at this level unfortunately. His height is just too much of a detriment at his weight with his style and skillset. DC was short as a HW/LHW sure, but 5'10"- 5'11" is at least in the ball park to fight at those weights, and would use his wrestling and clinch work effectively to minimize his height causing him problems. Middleweight fighters especially these days aren't that much shorter than LHW's, and HW's. And Deron Winn is frekkin 5'5" fighting them. That stocky frame worked for him in wrestling where it would give him incredible balance on a low center of gravity, and also where you can't just strike your opponents face off when they're trying to shoot or advance in. But In MMA fighters do just that, they can just hit him over and over before he gets close enough to do anything. And on top of it Winn dosen't even seem to try and wrestle much to alleviate that. Going to be another painful loss for Deron I fear.
