[@darkNovaskar]

Which one? Vettori just lost

[@stormrevenant]

I wish most MMA fighters (besides guys like Max, Topuria etc) would understand that consistent bodywork makes it easier to finish their opponents, especially if one hits as hard as Jared. You are not just hurting them, but also sapping their stamina and making them worried about the body shots, which helps set up big finishing strikes.

[@samryabov6955]

hey man, they do l

[@TheWiseguysTCG]

I agree. I have a martial arts/boxing background and honestly, what you said is the reason long win streaks and title reigns happened. The gap in striking in some of these mma realms is massive

[@stormrevenant]

@@TheWiseguysTCG All elite boxers, kickboxers, nak muay attack the body. Remember Conor vs Mendes. It comes down to coaching, coaches need to drill this until it becomes instinctive, and not a last resort like Stipe in the DC rematch.

[@mmanow]

Imagine if Orc had more fight IQ. He chin is solid, only thing guy lacks is flexibility in his movements and shot selection.

That’s asking a lot. Marvin has a great chin, and thats the only thing thats elite relative to the competition.

[@nuclearlefthook5008]

@@flochfitness His chin is outstanding, probably the best in MW since Yoel. His cardio is great and he's good everywhere, but just not elite anywhere specifically which really hurts him when he fights guys that specialize in something and are good enough to negate whatever he's doing that they're not great. He's not great at anything but is very well rounded. He's still young, and he has shown to improve in his striking. hopefully he improves a lot more.

This was a great example of the the better fighter not always winning the fight. We clearly saw that Jared was the better fighter in there and showed it over 5 rounds. But let's saw he would have been put down in round 1 with one of those punches from Marvin. Many people would assume Marvin was better then Jared. But because he fought through it, we got to see that Jared was actually the better fighter.
