thats awsome man, i guess if you can make all 3 kicks come from the same fulcrum point you could seriously confuse your competitor

Next Welterweight champion. He matches up perfectly with Robbie Lawler and will make him look silly on the feet

interesting that he could make the side stance work for him-this is what they teach in karate

it's a big no in grappling because your giving your opponent your leg with no real way to sprawl

He's very proficient in this style of fighting and he's adapted it to MMA. Usually a wrestler would grab the leg with ease but his footwork is so good that they can't get near him. Watch his fight v johnny hendricks.

i thought hendricks had the chin and power to beast his way past wonderboy's kicks and grab a leg for a take down but he never even got close
