Who has the best Dutch Kickboxing in the UFC?

[TheBrownGosling]

Saki maybe?

 

[Sure Dawg]

he looked like a beginner in many fights.

he was always afraid of getting hit, once he hit the horse meat his intimidation and bully style largely hid/mitigated that, once the horse meat was gone it became clear again and he completely threw away many of his old tools to adopt a more "elusive" style, which is the garbage we see when he fights today.

Germaine de Randamie

 

[Paladin]

I understand that this style is a mix of Muay Thai/Kyokushin Karate and western boxing. It also resembles old school Shootfighting which also is a mix of muay thai and Japanese karate/kickboxing but more emphasis on boxing combo since its closed fist.

Never the less its a solid style for MMA and in spirit of things, it is a "mix" style in respect to stand up fighting. Curios to know if anyone uses this style in the UFC?

Gatheje seems atleast dutch inspired. Very high guard made to work for MMA and ends combos with kicks. Dude will cut an angle with his kick too which is very very dutch. Whittman is the man.

Yeah, Whitman was one of bang Ludwig's teacher's back in his kickboxing days. He's definitely familiar with the Dutch style.

So by “Dutch” you mean a fighter who is trained by a Dutch kickboxing coach?

Or a fighter who engages 60/40 hands over feet would be considered more “Dutch” as a Thai practitioner may be more like 60/40 feet over hands in their approaches?

 

[mjfan23]

Struve

 

[Zarate]

Gökhan Saki of course.

 

[Blayt7hh]

I’m not sure Dutch kickboxing would be recognizable in the UFC from any other style of kickboxing

 

[RicardinhoPT]

He's British.

Born in Hounslow.

Trained in Holland.

His Dutch mom got pregnant by an African guy and moved to the UK. After a couple of years they separated and Overeem has lived in the Netherlands for most of his life. He's Dutch

 

[RicardinhoPT]

The answer you're looking for is GDR by the way, typical Dutch kickboxing style. She's adapted a little bit too mma but you still clearly see it

 

[DevNull69]

Ubereem != Econoreem

he looked like a beginner in many fights.

 

[DevNull69]

Leg kick Aldo was p4p goat candidate

 

[theTKDguy]

Aldo, luque

 

[HIGH VALUE]

His horse meat style predicated on being the bigger man, covering up and walking down his opponent, once he shrunk in size he had to switch to being more of a sniper, but at the heavyweight division you never see people just be elusive and counter strike, too much power.

 

[Barge]

Aldo had that Ramon Dekkers style

 

[JanssenC]

Gokan Saki?

 

[Megalodon]

Aldo used to train with Andy Souwer back in the day.

 

[Ogata]

Aldo had that Ramon Dekkers style

I hate the fact that I associate aldo with getting KOd by conor in 13 seconds.
