Using Techniques/combinations seen during UFC in training?(GIFS)

[Ansonjitsu***]

I know I'm not the only one who does this. There are many times where I have seen some cool takedown variation or a cool striking combination and incorporated it into my game.

I love trying new combinations during training that I have seen other fighters use. I'll post some gifs of some recent ones I've had success with.

the body kick to same-side straight-punch machida does is one of my favorites...throws a lot of guys off

the jab to overhand right used by erik silva is great too

POST GIFS of some things you guys have seen during a fight that inspired you to try them out during your sparring sessions?

lol that's great.

tried this, always end up swinging at thin air after about 10-15 seconds lol

watching Floyd and trying to add what he does is quite hard, but when it lands you feel like a champ lol

 

[Kaioken x 10]

I use most of what Machida does, some Fedor, and also a bit of boxing technique from Ali, Whitaker, RJJ, and Nas.

I love Hendo's inside legkicks to a overhand right and I use it often because I find it very effective against bigger, slower sparring partners.

Machida's knee to the chest of an incoming opponent. Easy and extremely effective. I've tried to land his trip takedowns, but I really don't have the timing and always get punched in the face for my efforts.

Also Aldo's left hook to the body followed by a leg kick. This one has been working ok.
Hendo's inside leg kick + overhand is very easy and effective as well.

just make sure to force your opponent in the opposite direction as the sweep, needs to be done simultaneously to work though.
