One of the best videos on striking in MMA I've ever seen!

[@jinsouwolf]

9:44 zucc's face 😂😂says it all

[@prostriking]

[@darkwarriorrage8912]

Gotta love Illia man ❤️

[@prostriking]

He's still improving, too!

[@ezragaim2130]

He’s special

[@niconicoo5661]

For real these georgians are a different breed

[@Andyy10k_]

I love his style its so technical qnd nice 🔥💪🥊

[@BigBallsLover6969]

It’s crazy that Sean Strickland is not in the thumbnail 💀

[@prostriking]

I had already used him in a previous thumbnail and felt Topuria is more relevant ad a current champion! I did think about it though haha

[@PedroHISilva]

You forgot "enter into the matrix" with "just be prime Anderson Silva".

[@prostriking]

I'd included him in another video about counter fighting! Legend of the game! Thanks for commenting!

[@hunterpang]

Prime Silva was next level good

[@eagletsar5700]

Can you make tow more on attacking and counterattacking. I'm talking the conceptual side since most videos are on the mechanical side of techniques (e.g. jab, cross, roundhouse). By conceptual side, I mean things such as feints, fakes, timing, angles, control, manipulation, telegraphing, etc. How can one succeed when attacking or counterattacking?

[@prostriking]

This would be a very interesting video but I feel like it might not have much of an audience! I've put up some similar videos on countering which might be worth you checking out? I'll see what I can come up with on this topic. Thanks for commenting 🙏

[@muri110]

Great video bro, first time in this channel but this is very good. Would love a video on double jabs, fake teep or switch combinations to close the distance, since stepping back is probably the main type of defense on mma.

[@PiffFighting]

I was just thinking recently the high guard is effective in MMA because most MMA fighters aren’t good body punchers and will drop their hands to go to the body which leaves you in a good position to counter if you got your hands held high

[@mmaandme8444]

Great video as always mate!

[@Scrumdumn]

Respect man, I don’t see a lot about boxing in mma. Keep it up

@@prostriking can talk interreview please

[@kakashi1.]

My favorite is slipping and the shoulder roll , I take alot from porier ,Izzy gervonta, mayweather mike Tyson and ilia . Fighters who don’t get hit all that much

[@ivanrogic4803]

I like philly shell

[@christophermorrison2626]

Would love if you made a vid on the differences between mma striking and Thai/K1 and why some of the best strikers from Thai/K1 that cross over to mma but aren’t as good striking wise and or get oustruck/koed.

[@prostriking]

That is a great video idea! Thanks for commenting!

[@jacobharris954]

Can you name some that has happened too?

[@christophermorrison2626]

@@jacobharris954 there’s been plenty the past 20 years or so but as of recently at the top of my head Brad riddell and hekeem dawudo , rozeinstrike have all been outstruck despite having success in either Muay Thai or K1, riddell actually had a razor thin fight with doumbe a lot of people thought riddell won.

Head movement in mma bro especially as a boxer trying to mix his style with kickboxing​@@prostriking

[@deangullberry5148]

I don't fight competitively, but I remember one time this dude was hell bent on fighting me. I kept smashing my face into his fists until I broke one of his hands.

[@houssedecouette4056]

talking about footwork without mentionning cyril gane 😥

[@prostriking]

I actually feel terrible now 😂 I do apologise 🙏

[@jacobharris954]

The fact it took mma guys this long to figure out the jkd/wing chun community figured out years ago. What you wear matters

[@alexpylemma]

Huh?😂😂😂

[@zackbop9045]

​@@alexpylemma I can only assume he's referring to the idea that guarding in boxing doesn't apply as well to MMA because of the gloves? IDK though it seemed pretentious
