I was watching some older Floyd fights once again last night and the thing that stood out to me as always was his amazing jabs to the body. The fight was against Henry Bruseles for those wondering.
I started thinking about how it would adapt to MMA and how it seems like no one even tries to jab to the body in MMA. I've personally never even tried it or thought about it for some reason when training in the past.
I remember a topic on this awhile back but don't really remember the details on it. I just remember King Kabuki touching on it a bit and some others.
How would a crisp quick jab to the body work in MMA? Do you think it would take striking in MMA to a different level or would it be to much of a risk because the risk of takedowns and kicks? I'm having a tough time picturing it working due to my lack of experience so I'd like to hear input from those of you who have more knowledge on the subject.
