Okay.

 

[Natty Dread]

i needed this.

You mean they are right handed (primarily use their right hands) but are southpaw? Okay. Yes I guess. But Silva and Machida alternate from southpaw to orthodox during fights so are they really southpaws?

Silva, Machida, and the Diaz bros all switch stance constantly

Rockhold.

Tom Lawlor is as well, IIRC. Ben Saunders is for sure.

If you have a strong right hand, fighting southpaw is very beneficial, strong jabs and lead uppercuts

Anderson Silva, Diaz Bros, Lyoto Machida, Mirko, Gomi - All right handed southpaws.

Brock Larson was a right handed south paw

 

[Mr Wings]

Mirko is especially surprising because I believe he ALWAYS fought southpaw, rarely if ever even switching stances. I always assumed he was left handed.

Here he is signing an autograph with his right hand.

I'm right handed and I train heavy bag. I tend to like to fight the heavy bag southpaw better too. It feels more natural to me.

 

[Davey Crockett]

Rockhold.

I knew he was a southpaw and googled to see if there was anything saying he's right handed but found nothing, ty

It's especially surprising for Mirko because all of his best weapons come from the left side. Left kick, left straight.

 

[Hans Gercmiov]

Paul Daley is left handed and fights orthodox. Same with Semmy Schilt.

 

[PCKT$]

Could be ambidextrous, I found no benefit to ever fight southpaw, everything is backwards and I always knew that no matter what, I was more skilled in the orthodox position. But to each their own...

I also have a few left handed friends who play pool righty or throw right handed, just how some people work I guess.

lol..interesting.

Wow so many idiots thinking they are being smart asses in this thread with memes...

Yes there are right handed south paws for those idiots.

My question is, how do know these guys are right handed south paws? Jerome lebanner is a right handed south paw, hes said so in the past. Its why he had such a strong jab.
