Top tier set up artists vs tech brawlers vs sloptech

[2004 account]

Who are true setup artists that dont just look for openings but actually create them with clever strike selection and angles?


Who are the tech brawlers that spam a repetitive and predictive bread and butter combo all the time and are usually effective?

Finally who are the sloppy tech brawlers who usually just swing and pray and have ugly unrefined styles?



Setup masters-
Alex perreira
Prime crop cop


Tech brawlers-
Robert whitaker
DDP

Sloptech-
Big country
Derrick lewis

Ok I'll add two more

Anderson Silva setup master

Tai tuivasa sloptech

 

[jnes]

Setup Artist: Ilia Topuria

Techbrawler: Joaquin Buckley

 

[13Seconds]

Robbie Lawler tech brawler

 

[BEATDOWNS]

but technical brawlers are the opposite of sloppy.

a sloppy brawler would be Roy Nelson or Chris Leben. both guys just rely heavily on the gifts they were given granite chins and KO power but there is no real technique in their striking just wing em until one lands.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Buckley is SlopTech

Yea true I guess they are two different categories, tech brawlers and those that fall under sloptech


Also some just spam the same combos and can be effective but have ugly styles visually. There is a lot of gray area and it's very subjective

Wanderlei is the GOAT tech brawler just cold and calculated violence.

Set up Masters to me is the same as a counter striker so A. Silva and Machida would fit there.
