[strike thought]

For my fellow sherdogers who enjoyed my previous style breakdowns on fighters like Conor McGregor, Dominick Cruz, and all the other breakdowns, this piece on Silva vs Bisping is for you.

I shared it yesterday with TMMAC users. Hope you enjoy it like they did. Thanks for reading!


which rounds do you folks think were the hardest to score in the Silva vs Bisping fight?

 

[HHJ]

4 was the hardest round to score imo.

I thinking about that too. I assumed people we're giving round 2 to bisping when he rocked silva and thought people gave 3 and 5 to silva for rocking Bisping.

and 1 seem to be such a slow starter for both.

For just round 4, I watched it several times and wrote down every strike that landed and how significant the strikes were (not counting strikes that we're deflected and blocked). I'll share it later so people can get a look at what strikes landed and at which times in the fight.

one of my favorite moments (dafuq was that)

I'm not a striking guru. But I noticed Silva tried on numerouse ocation to dodge by just bending down at the waste. Leaving him extremely vulnerable to a front kick to the face. I'm surprised Bisping didn't try to KO him then. He really did it multiple times.

Good point man. A lot of people we're actually curious about that too! I personally would have gone for the kick. Considering he's on the cage, he can't pull the head back either. So it limited his head movement even more.

I was just answering that when a user (named Ghost bro) on TMMAC asked me about why he didn't do it. You can check out our conversation if you're curious about it.
