Johnson vs Jury from UFC 155

[KJGould]

Johnson looked terrible. Jury took him down at will and dominated him positionally, even going for his back when he wanted and just beating him up for 3 rounds.

Jury looks like one to keep an eye on, and trains out of Alliance.

 

[SuperSuperRambo]

I was surprised at Johnson's lack of fundamentals from bottom as far as defense, escapes, and positioning. I would think that Sperry would have his guys coached better than that. I figure maybe he's just not used to being there, or maybe Jury is that good.

 

[Zankou]

Johnson looked awful. Not sure what the story is.

Jury also looked a lot bigger physically. That might have been a factor.

Was waiting for someone to make a thread about this in f12, my god he looked like a 2 month white belt out there. I saw a lot of space Jury left open, many opportunities to recover. I know it's easy to talk from the couch but he seemed either lost or content to be on his back and lose.

he has a wrestling background and has been wrestling since the 7th grade, most high level fighters are wrestlers

look at the way he chained different single leg finishes

 

[FIGHTING TALK]

Johnstone durability cost him here. He was too happy taking shots rather than having the sense of urgency to get back up. Poor performance.

 

[Uchi Mata]

As much as I like Mario Sperry, I haven't been impressed with the Blackzilians at all. Though Melvin did seem more controlled that I've ever seen him.

Sometimes, some fighters are just difficult to work with an coach.

 

[lechien]

Mario sperry can only do what he can as a coach. Back then when he co owned btt, he could pick and choose who he trained and who fought.

True. A lot of the fighters in that camp have moved around quite a bit. Many of them are there in an attempt to revitalize their careers.
