Dillashaw, Cruz, RDA are not skilled, they are just faster and more conditioned.

Lol @ not skilled.
RDA neutralized probably the best distance fighter in the UFC on the feet purely based on skill and intelligence.
 
nobody talks about Tillashaws wrestling which is key component-

How did RDA make his way onto a list with dillashaw and cruz in regards to fighting style
 
Lots of guys are faster than their opponents and still lose. Their speed is advantageous, but far from the only factor in their victories. It's like saying Jones only wins because of his reach. -20/10 terrible thread. You should be banned.
 
What separates them from the competition is:

1. handspeed
2. conditioning

They basically plow through their opponent and that they get the upper hand has less regard to their technique, but more due to their handspeed. In the Barao and Pettis fight, both Dillashaw and RDA showed terrible fundamental technique. Flailing punches that missed most of the time, but since they had the conditioning and the volume and the speed, it overpowered the more skillful opponent.
Even if Barao threw a straight punch and Dillashaw threw a slower looping punch, Dillashaw still got off first based on superior speed. There was nothing Barao could do about it. Same thing with Pettis.

Their "footwork" has very little to do with it. They could of stayed static and would still get off first.

It's the other way around.
Their footwork is what made their hand speed and timing work so well.
They catch the other fighter from odd angles because of footwork.
They can get in and out.
They can dance around the punches of their opponents and punch back before their opponent has a chance to cover up.

all in all, these are also skills they developed through very hard work & conditioning.

I just find it amazing that people can try to make it like they were just borne with it...

You know what handspeed and conditioning are called? Skills.

Therefore, said fighters are very skilled.
 
An example of an actual skilled fighter who wins despite slow handspeed is Chris Weidman. Chris Weidman is the most economical and skilled fighter in the UFC. RDA, Dillashaw, and Cruz are all only moderately skilled fighter who overcomes because they have very fast hands and good conditioning.

Its retarded that Joe Rogan attribute their wins as skills when its more through hard work and the talent of handspeed. If TJ/Dillashaw or RDS/Pettis were fighting at the same pace, they would both get destroyed because fundamentally, their technique is terrible and uneconomical.
 
brainwash, did you hit your head or something? Saying TJ, Cruz, and RDA are "not skilled" is one of the most idiotic things I've read off this forum.

LOL handspeed and conditioning is not skill idiot.

A person can shoot 100 bullets at a target and land once, that does not equate to skill.

A person shooting 1 bullet and hitting the target is skill. Just because you can output more doesn't mean skill.
 
You dont know anything so why are you so confident to make this thread.
 
Absolute idiotic.

Dom has the best foot and head work in the UFC and would out strike a lot of guys no matter the weight class.

Dillashaw proved he has elite striking skills and now has world class experience.

RDA has good striking and excellent ground game. All three men hold gold in the UFC right now by the way.

You're saying shooting Barao would have been as easy as whooping his ass with handspeed?
