You gotta make a video on how you close the distance, as a shorter fighter who fights taller fighters most of the time, i always have trouble closing the distance. And you are a beast at closing the distance man.

[@kw1213]

Being able to close the distance depends on quite a few things. If you have the speed to do it, you just have to do it. The worst thing u can do is be hesitant and stay on the outside while the rangier opponent can pick you apart. Obviously easier said than done , but ultimately that's what it comes down to. Using feints, and threatening your opponent with strikes as well as takedowns is the key to keep them guessing. Which will also make it easier for you to close that distance. All these things depend on how althletic/explosive/agile/quick you are also.

kw1213 lol ok mr. professional troll

[@enricopucci7413]

USE YOUR HEAD LITERALLY I MEAN I AM 1.68 MTS 62KG TO 68KG AND I USE TO COMBAT AGAINST PEOPLE ARROUND 1.78MTS TO 1.95MTS I ALWAYS USE THE WRESTLE RAM TACKLE TO ENTER THE ZONE OF MY OPONENTS AND AT SAME TIME AVOID GET CAUGHT WITH A GUILLOTINE OR TRIANGLE CHOKE AND IT WORKS EVERY TIME YOU SHOULD WORK OUT YOUR HIPS AND LEGS DOING BRIDGES AND SQUATJUMPS PLUS WITH THE RAM ENTRANCE YOU CAN CHOSE TO GRAB SINGLE LEG DOUBLE LEG OR MY FAVORITE WAIST BELT TO PERFORM A 90% EFECTIVE TAKE DOWN AND REMEMBER ALWAYS PUSH IN DIAGONAL(NORTHEAST) DIRECTION NEVER PUSH FRONTAL OR LINEAL DIRECTION

[@charlesgonzalez6129]

Screw it one more comment I feel as an out sider watching fan or whatever but watching mma so long you can see the change the maturity in people the growth from the mindset/thinking and training so on its obvious your ready and fights and fighters ive seen in the division of late you can honestly just tell i dunno im sure people your training with sayin the samething this is gonna be your best run yet automatic when u get back in the cage facts

[@KillianBlake]

[@ピ炎ちゃん]

いいねー🥺👍

[@mathewl7249]

Uhhhh nice

[@jackmyster2339]

When r u coming back to the ufc?

[@spencerpowell6772]

How would you get a guy off you if you were on the ground(back down) I’m taking jujitsu and I can’t really get it down.

[@akiko2096]

Get full guard, take control of his arms and move your legs farther up his torso. When you get into that position try pushing his arms to the side and shift your weight in the same direction. After that you can take the back. Hard to explain via text (i'm not good at structuring things like that) but this is one of the ways. Hope that helps.

[@jakesivilla9321]

Spencer Powell Sounds like you might be a white belt, so you can start with something simple like retaining your guard, then quickly place your feet on their hips and push them off. This is something very basic to start with, so keep in mind that it probably won’t work with higher belts, and you should slowly learn some sweeps and a system of techniques to stand back up other than that.

[@hardcoremma7894]

1. When someone blast doubles you, use the momentum and push with your legs upwards while holding the neck to reverse the TD. 2. But if you failed and ended up bottom then try warp your legs around him and control his neck and arms and then use your legs to keep him away from your hips. 3. once you get enough space push hips away and create a scramble. 4. Get back to your feet and knock his ass out! (Also try to use Up kicks if there is opening)

[@CGKf35]

GamebredBiker you try that rookie shit against a guy like me and you'll be waking up in the hospital.

[@hardcoremma7894]

Jay K I'd rather knock you out standing bitch!

[@rominamagali6777]

I think I'm in love ❤ =)

[@jakesivilla9321]

Anybody else think Mendes vs KZ would be the perfect comeback fight?

[@dejwerus6219]

kconor zmcgregor?

[@MrBlue-yd9ke]

Please,give this man a full camp and a rematch with Conor. Bet my life he would toy with him.

[@younghomieprodustion]

Man looks like he got a Fanny pack on lol

[@theturkish180]

Mendes can take down an elephant w/ that blast double

[@khaitawm9220]

I can't move fast like you

[@Christian-Rankin]

Technical depth.

[@kissPANCRASION]

Going to get into a fight so I’ll see how this works Edit: it does work

[@giovanniortiz8421]

" bang wrestling "

[@anishnair7843]

He did that against Conor Mcgregor

[@mistermindahenziandalasnus3754]

Not being sarcastic but why not just start from southpaw then jab, hook and go for that takedown?

[@trevormulqueen2866]

Chad is a really bad matchup for Max, I honestly think he's champ this time next year

[@banter1341]

wouldve destroyed Conor if he had a full camp

[@welivetohelp1219]

Chad I can help you create a mma training app

[@thedrakebolton]

1st

[@maxdodger3613]

Wtf youtube i cant mute so i can listeb to music and watch?

[@John2corner]

People here are asking for Jiu jitsu 101 lol wth lol go watch some youtube videos of Jiu jitsu 101. Do they really expept Chad to teach them all of Jiy jitsu 101 stuff such as moutn escape, side mount eacape, etc? Lol give me a break

[@charlesgonzalez6129]

Man whens your next fight? Your ready get a big name and rip them apart get max halloways ass call him out i dunno but shit get back in the cage your ready tear it up and go for one last hard run at the belt and get it buddy!

[@jamalhenderson3758]

All the Alpha male kinda press forward the with the jab jab get off center you and josh Emmett probably do it the best. Make a video about that Chad

[@jonhakonorsson1466]

Is this the guy who got ko'd by mcgregor?

[@GtfoSlaveRs]

Yes, but this is also the guy who was ranked #1 featherweight for a long time, and he had a insane war against Jose Aldo in the rematch, had a 4 wins in a row by knock out at some point, so instead of looking at the negative why don't you look at the positive? Let me tell you why, because you're miserable and you gotta hate on people to make yourself feel better. Show some respect.

[@user-wl6fb8mb2h]

Johnny Daz even Jon Jones have lost before. Stop saying shit OK?

[@shaqoneill8069]

Yes was juiced to the gills got boxed up and knocked the fuck out like a bum

[@user-wl6fb8mb2h]

Shaq Oneill calm down, fan boy ￣へ￣

[@jonhakonorsson1466]

Im joking guys i love chad👍

[@theheroinundergroundandchi1622]

Chad beat Aldo and was about to beat mccgregor. If he fight mccgregor again he would win.

[@arbov169]
