For the younger guys who may have missed this:
Indeed...From Kopylov´s kneebar to...Artem´s...The lack of head movement is crazy. I remeberseeing this the first time and thinking it was a pretty high level of MMA striking.
I know peopleclaim MMA hasn't evolved, but it definitely has.
I disagree.As much as we shit on MMA striking, it's clearly come a long way since these days
Still a very good fight nonetheless
You don't really see striking this weak at the top end of any divisionI disagree.
Anderson Silva and Shogun were also around then and their standard still stands today.
But we have equal amounts of poor strikers in MMA as we ever had post 2001.
This is MMA not boxing. Head movement by itself (by boxing standards) would lead a person to either being an easy TD or getting kicked in your head Jones vs DC style.The lack of head movement is crazy. I remeberseeing this the first time and thinking it was a pretty high level of MMA striking.
