It's almost like fighters use the weapons that they practice in training.
Interesting.

I mean really though that shit was beautiful but what striker doesn't practice a pull counter especially with their dominant arm.

Probably best to post the cute little gif when you can't actually argue my post.

I'm pissy every day.

 

[Yep]

Lmao. They slow mo him measuring and then blasting which isn’t what happened. And that is absolutely a normal punch in his arsenal. But he is absolutely deadly with it. Aljo is an idiot tho.

Yeah, I too am shocked he didn't have time to measure things out during the actual fight and instead had to throw at a full force charging opponent.

 

[Emjay]

You mean to tell me he used a technique that he's had success using in his previous fights?

No way.

Bruh. Fanboys can’t leave it as a great performance and spectacular punch. They have to make up shit. It’s literally a normal part of his arsenal. One you can see displayed in every fight.

 

[Yep]

No way.

This. Lmao. Literally every fight. he trained th is specific technique blah blah blah. Yes, cuz it’s his normal movement.

For OMalley, yes, but there are still a lot of strikers in MMA and even kickboxing that move backwards endlessly with seemingly no ability to counter.

I think that’s the point tho. This is normal for O’Malley.

Practicing a technique and pulling it off Clean on the first try in a title fight against a long reigning champ are two different things entirely.


Sean O Malley has exceptional footwork, timing, range management and accuracy. That was a damn near perfect counter and pretty crazy that he hit it so clean and did so moving back and just barely evading a strike at the same time.

Also that was a technique that every striker probably practices all the time.

Not a huge surprise. Much of the sport is really just variations of perfecting the fundamentals.

I didn't see Tim laying on his back getting punched in his face in that clip. I must have missed it.

Yer being a douche. OP never claimed to be amazed, just posting a clip of a fighter practicing the exact technique he used to finish the biggest fight of his career (and the night). No foul detected.

I'm pissy every day.

Pissy @jeff7b9 is Sherdog's motivated BJ Penn.
