Technique is Important

[updowniri]

Physical attributes smash technique a lot, duh, but at the end of the day your technique is one of your most important aspects as a fighter. I always though fighting was 1/3 physical, 1/3 mental, and 1/3 technical. If a new hype job is on the scene and his skills are sub par, take a step back before you proclaim he is the next long reigning champion.

Technique is worth a lot more than physicality. Especially when both fighters are in the same weight class. It is another reason why I don't believe PED usage can be correlated to more wins.

 

[Doctor Lenovo]

However, gas tank is a significant part of physical attributes. So, maybe you are right.

Technique is the single most important aspect. It's easy to shit on a guy as not being very technical when put next to another elite fighter, but put them in there with 99.9% of the human population and they absolutely style on them.

Technique is the most important you goof, why you think Khabib and Tony are top 2, because they are elite level athletes? Hell no..

Technique + Athletecism =

Exactly why Izzy is so special.

Being explosive is trumps all. Just look at WWII. All we needed was the A bomb. All the gameplan and strategy and technique could not stop it.

That's why your mom remembers to work the shaft and play with the balls.

I think both technique and physicality are important in MMA. If there was a fight between two fighters where one had substantially better technique and also physical attributes, I would favor him to beat a smaller weaker slower less durable untrained opponent.
