Perfect example of a dumb gameplan or fight IQ

Ehhhh. Nothing beat soukahmtutankhaman vs jewfro weed mcgregor. Maybe Beerbohm/Aoki.

He really doesn't have a great answer for high pressure strikers. He thought Gaethje would back off from the leg kicks and it didn't happen and he was shook.

bro his fight against hooker was the textbook example of a brawl, wtf r u talking about

He was fighting a punching bag da fuck.... Hooker was a walking punching bag, how much technique do you need vs that guy...

Wrong. Hooker didn't walk forward and pressure him like Gaethje did. When fighters hang back and go strike for strike with Barboza he will fuck them up. But he has always succumbed to pressure and we've known about it since the Varner fight.

Even after getting fucked up all of round 1, when Hooker started walking him down in round 2, it was giving Edson problems.

Yeah, but his legs were gone at that point. Anyone who fights Barboza needs to immediately pressure and not give him space to land his leg kicks.

I'd argue it was Hooker who had dumb fight IQ for thinking he could take all those leg kicks.

Chris Weidman throwing that ill fated kick against Luke is a better example of someone throwing strategy out the window, ie; bad fight IQ.

Edson just got outclassed. Justin drew first blood and was up 4 leg kicks to one in the first minute. Edson simply had no answer for Justin’s aggression and pressure. He got desperate to create some space so he hastily exited against the cage with his hands down.

 

[Davey Crockett]

Those kicks had his legs flying everywhere.

He should have asked Jack Slack on what to do.

Martin Kampman! He is super well rounded, so what does he do?

Stands with Paul Daley!

Grapples Jake Shields!
