Help me understand something (probably obvious) that I can't figure out about MMA striking

"He should thrown a cross into that"

"He should thrown a cross into that"

probably, and absolutely should have kept moving forward. reversing his momentum was the fatal flaw in this case

To do that he would have to expect that, thsy guy is known for that kick? most figthers don't expect a killer round house to the head, nothing he could do with the style he has
If he was more mobile... but he is not,
he was at a dangerous distance

yes he was at a dangerous distance where he was just hanging out and feinting with his gloves. suicidal. it's not important to know your opponents style before the fight. it's better to be prepared for anything because you can't just stand there and anticipate your opponent. just go for the throat and defense tends to take care of itself

not a cross, a straight lead right hand

 

[Trabaho]

You don't even train anywhere. It shows.

You are beyond unrealistic and I don't think you put on gloves and went a round with anyone ever.

look at the footwork just prior to the kick and you'll start to understand

I think since you always hit with minimal power when you train, you might not be aware of the athletic aspects of fighting

 

[tigersmoosh]

carefully watch haqparast right before the kick and you should notice you feel an instinctual drive to hit him. this is because he's acting vulnerable

My English sucks. I mean his own style. He needs to start doing step backs in his next fights

I guess it all depends on what reads your opponent is giving you. Remember when TJ's coach told him to throw his kick without setting it up against Cody, because Cody would see the set up and know what was coming.? When TJ threw it by itself, it landed.

This man gets it

Poatan did similar against Jiri in the second fight

setting up kicks literaly means to never kick first and each atack needs to be hands before using any kicks. Basically nonsense by D level coaches.

 

[shunyata]

Caught him flat footed.

Ok but saying to not block high kicks can only be claimed by someone who never had a high kick thrown at them. It's 101 basics. You always block it if it's already in front of your face. It's too obvious even if you never trained. Like are you supposed to teleport away. You think in a fight you'll always use footwork and noone can ever get their leg to your head

I think since you always hit with minimal power when you train

That's propaganda don't buy it

, you might not be aware of the athletic aspects of fighting

Name a gym you trained striking at

 

[Deaths Head]

it suprised him. Can´t always block everything


Your level isn´t even amateur competitor to be saying that bro

You don’t have to be at UFC level anything though to know what works , a kick is a kick and a punch is a punch at the end of the day it’s who can do what at their ability in any tournament/fight / street fight etc etc

I’ve used this with traditional boxing approaches with simple thrust kicks to one’s upper chest area in the aggressive straight line direct where no set up was needed and I’m not even a good kicker by my own standards, this was with no training in a karate championship with rules that were against me so it comes down to what one can do not entirely on being outmatched in a set event I see major flaws all the time with any type of fighting , the UFC has talent but many things would work if the individual has ability.

One thing with the UFC is you cant wear shoes anymore this makes it harder to pivot punches and cut angles faster it makes punches and kicks harder to place bc the mat is soft and you don’t get more power in your strikes unlike a boxing ring or street , thin mats etc etc . So setting up strikes in general isn’t easier .

 

[Deaths Head]

cut it short if possible by attacking instantly

You still got to block it first , that fighter had no clue ( or time ) he has his fist up on his ear which won’t stop much impact , you use forearm blocks with the outside bone ridge in lock position going outward but maintaining a good solid stance to block where the strike will be absorbed from roundhouses that most mma trainers probably don’t teach .

We used to do them on a constant basic forearm strike/ blocking technique this works for kicks as well , it’s simple X blocking with traditional karate . You then follow up with strikes and or grab and trip the opponent when he’s off balance which the block should do .

yeah besides blocking nothing else works. Lean back is very risky can work. Movement as in not being there for the strike only works if you are in that spot you can move away. Eventually a kick is always gonna land on your block. Literaly no other way then forearm block. Like what are you supposed to do. "Oh the kick is almost in my face let me throw a cross". That´s why I called him out cause he pretends that he trains which he clearly doesn´t.

next time you cross the street and a truck is coming I want you to stand there and block it. because apparently it's the only thing that works


I think that's the tenth time in this thread alone you have made the mistake to call a straight lead a cross. bro go lookup boxing 101


and it's true what death's head says the cage floor kind of sucks / too soft
