He got caught because he threw an open technique without setting it up first. this is not indicative of his striking overall Fu Jow Pai Kung Fu, Gracie Jiu Jitsu, Boxing "He who conquers men has force, he who conquers himself is truly strong." -Lao Tzu

spider Regular 235 posts	Monday 2nd July 2007 at 18:29 My point is that his success has largely been due to being able to stop the takedown. With the wrestlers he has been fighting, he has been successful because he is been able to take them out of the area they are comfortable in, and he has been able to outstrike people that are uncomfortable with striking. The world of mixed martial arts needs to grow much more, to stop this big fish in small pond thing that keeps happening at the moment. I'm excited that Pride fighters are becoming more common place in the UFC. Imagine if your martial arts never did inter club competitions. It's a shame and a bad reflection of a sport, when someone is the world champion, despite having huge gaps in their abilities.
