i think feints can be a valuable skillset when it comes to striking in mma. it can create whole list of opportunities for the initial attack whether it be a strike or td. being a split late in reacting to an attack can determine the outcome of a fight. a good example of a good feint used was during the jones machida fight. jj's corner noticed everytime he threw a leg kick , machida would lunge foward and counter with a straight punch. jj corner told him to fake the kick then throw the hook to counter machida's punch.he did exactly that and grounded machida. the hook jj landed didn't end the fight but played a huge part in contributing to his victory. so my question is why don't more fighters use this tactic??????????
