I'm a big fan of OSP, but every time he fights I can't help but think he needs to switch to a different camp. No disrespect to Knoxville MMA Academy but I'm sure he's far and away the best fighter there. Hard to learn when ur far superior to ur training partners.
He seems to have so much talent and natural athletic ability, but I don't see him ever getting any better than he is right now unless he makes a change.
He has some VICIOUS strikes, especially from the left side. That left body kick is just nasty. However. He doesn't really string together combos or set things up very well.
I meant to make this thread after the Bader fight and just forgot. IMO, he definitely had all the tools to beat Bader but his fight IQ/game plan prevented that from happening. His lack of setting up strikes led to him being taken down alot in that fight.
He's 32 now so it needs to happen soon.
What do you guys think? Should he switch camps? What would be a good fit for him? I may be a little biased, but I think he has the chance to beat anyone if he just tightens up his game just a little.
