Anyone else notice the Ellenberger and Woodley overhand right were nearly identical?

And any chance of seeing those as gifs side by side?
 
My fucking bank account noticed it. Only 2 fights I bet on tonight. 0-2. haha.
 
All you need in mma is an over hand right to get far. LoL it's kinda sad.

Similar to JDS against Hunto too, especially the way Robbie was suddenly flat-footed and inching backward just before it happened.

Of course the difference with Hunto was he just smashed his toe to smithereens and had become flat-footed due to trying to work out why his foot was numb, but aside from that, virtually identical.
 
Totally different set-ups (Ellenberger's was off a double jab, Woodley's off of feints), cage location (Ellenberger in the open, Woodley had Lawler against the cage), circumstances (Ellenberger was backing Brown up with his high-pressure double jab, Woodley had Lawler bite on his fake right before throwing the real one). Was the trajectory even the same ? Don't know what you're seeing, TS.
 
I didn't see that at all
Get some god damn gifs in this
 
Ok, i found some MP4s.


 
Both had sort of a double pump jab followed by a lunging overhand right while the opponent was flat footed going backwards.
 
yea, from the first punch Woodley missed. I thought "he really thinks he can catch Lawler with the same shit Brown got caught with? lol"

and Bang, it happened.

I was going off of memory, since I didn't have the pictures when I started the thread, but even with the pictures, there are definitely a lot of similarities in the set up and how the opponent responded.
 
At the very least I noticed the way they closed the distance was very similar.
 
There are only so many ways an overhand right can look ts
