Mitrione's Strategy - knockout just a matter of time ?

[YourHeroandMine]

Whatever Mitrione's strategy was I don't think he remembered to use it in the fight.


A smart strategy would have been to circle away from Roy's right hand and use his superior reach to keep the jab in Roy's face and leg kick to never let Roy get off.

But he got sucked into Roy's world.

Not really much more to say except this. Roy just managed to sucker Meathead into his type of fight.

Yeah. Writing was on the wall.

I dunno but he was clinching and doing body kicks then all of a sudden he decides to start slugging it out with Nelson and I was sitting there thinking "wow, he's going to get knocked out at any moment and it's a sure thing" and sure enough... voila.

I know he trained for the heavy hitting etc but I guess he just decided he was going to be able to trade ? I Just thought that he if he would have not adapted a really horrible strategy for someone like Nelson the outcome might have been different.

Ah well.

Roy Nelson is the best hW in the UFC!
