Rumored Best striking technique is the threat of the TD

[Rebel_LioN]

Time and time again people lower their hands to grab underhooks and get cracked by overhand rights.

Khabib

Masvidal was trying to counter him with a left hook (which he was trying all night).

My thoughts exactly, it has hard to argue. I first realized this when Randleman KO'd Cro Cop with an overhand in the Pride GP. <iframe src='' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' allowfullscreen width='640' height='480'>

That was a left hook lol

 

[NationWideNinja]

Agreed. Extremely powerful combo if the fighter has an overpowering top-game making his opponent terrified of getting taken down, and thus serving his chin on a silver platter.

 

[Mavrilicious]

Khabib

Spot on. Id say khabibs striking was decent. Not elite but decent.

But his grappling made his striking work against elite opponents

 

[Jean-MMA]

That was the key of GSP's success.
Always making his opponent guess ,it's either a jab, a feint jab, a TD or a feint TD

I lol’d so hard when he dropped Conor

 

[Bob Sapp]

Yeah thats right. Khabib was owning everyone on the feet because his opponents were so worried about the takedowns.

its why gsp was the best striker ww has seen(sorry wonderboy). i wont say khabib is the best striker at LW but his takedowns are a big part of why he can storm guys and throw power punches and flying knees. khabib has alot better stand up then people realize because of how good his takedowns are

 

[Rebel_LioN]

Then you got guys like Charles Oliveira that is not afraid to get taken down so he fights with a high guard

 

[Hassan Mouzine]

true, the threat of anderson silva/jose aldo/adesanya''s takedowns is what made them dominant strikers

Well, it’s “rumored”.

true, his granite chin and relentless stamina has nothing to do with it. nor does his distance control and athletic ability, khabibs takedown threat is all he needs to walk down killers like barboza and gaethje.



gregor gillespie's takedown threat made his striking technique amazingly good against kevin lee
