How Good is Cormier at closing distance, techniqe wise

[gb@Trumpski]

Can he be the key for helping King Khabib?

Obviously he is olympic level overall techniqque wise, but it doesnt automatically equate that every skill of his is.

 

[Reign009]

He actually takes a lot of damage doing so but dude is tough.

 

[Breaking]

He’s the best in the game.

The dude fights HWs and LHWs...and he has a 72 inch reach.

As points of reference:

Conor has a 74 inch reach.
GSP has a 76 inch reach.
Stipe has an 80 inch reach.
Jones has an 84 inch reach.

 

[ArtemV]

He managed to do it against Jones, who has a huge reach.

 

[ramair455]

Excellent and usually behind his jab

 

[RoyJonesJr]

Its average.

He takes alot of damage closing the distance but because he's so tough he'll take a few to give one hard one.

 

[Sansnom]

Excellent and usually behind his jab

Those are some bigass titties in your AV.

He does get hit while doing it though. If Khabib has a Cormier tier chin then its gonna be a long night for Conor

there are some thirsty mf'ers in this thread

It really depends on the reach/style of his opponent. He was clinical with Nelson, Hendo, Mir, Bigfoot, Barnett ETC.

Jones, Gus was a different story.

 

[Sinthesized]

Very good at closing the distance. He doesn't take near as much damage as some people would have you believe.

 

[HNIC215]

Khabib is already very astute at closing the distance/pressure fighting...

Obviously his years of training at AKA with the likes of DC, Cain and the rest have honed in those skills.

[The XL]

He's been able to close the distance on guys like Gus, Jon, and Stipe at 5'10, 5'11 tops with a 72 inch reach. He's pretty damn good at it I'd say

Devin Brugman

You the real MVP.
