Whatsup with this guys fighting with zero defence?

[Bangkok ready d1]

Figueiredo brother just did this (again by the way) and not long ago there was a slav guy on the card which his entire defence on the feet was to headbutt fists.
Are this dudes trying to emulate adesanya or wonderboy style? Cause its baffling to see this guys go in there and not even try to dodge the punches.

Sometimes the best defense is more offense.

They're just not putting enough focus on it I guess. Some people think defense is second nature, but you have to train it and make it second nature just like offense.

sort of like green haired dude against omalley. dude didn't attempt to block one punch except with his face.
hope your chin holds up long enough to get the stoppage, so it's a race.

Yes like others have mentioned defense is a skill that has to also be trained. Doesn't matter if you are blocking, slipping, ducking under, etc it has to be trained. Some people think reflexes and defensive movements are natural - it isn't, it's practiced/trained.

thats cause you dont have none - Max Holloway

It’s like the Diaz brothers. Eat shots until your opponent tires out and come back strong later in the fight putting everything on your chin and cardio. Works great until it doesn’t.

I mean, that's never been uncommon to MMA or the UFC.

trying to lure easy ko which backfires
