THe kid's footwork is way better than the other guy. The other guy just kinda moves around then swings his arms wildly

Father Time always wins....eventually.

Solid boxing fundamentals that most MMA guys lack is the answer. Obviously you need solid wrestling as well.

I said way back in July that the way to beat Cruz was to just stand there and counter when he comes in.
CPH and a few other of the guys who are familiar with traditional Muay Thai all said the same thing.
