On The Plus Side for Cormier: Really Surprised How Well His Hands Looked

I thought it was going to be the opposite: Great looking wrestling, non-existent striking due to the 12 inch reach disadvantage.

Instead he kept coming in and doing pretty well with those punches. If only guys like him and JDS would mix in more elbows, knees, and leg kicks.

Doing only hands is not the way these days, but considering that was pretty much all he was doing, he did surprisingly well, winning arguably 2 rounds on some people's cards (actually 1 judge gave him round 2, and 1 judge gave him round 3.. I think)
