his Arsenal and figures to try to keep this on the feet here tonight the beautiful thing that he does is he throws that front p kit to create distance when a guy starts to get you close and wants to wrestle with him he throws it and the moment you're back at his range he starts to blast high kick he doesn't always intend on Landing him but he beats up your arms with high kick after high kick after high kick and as you get desperate you start to run into the knees and he does not need much space to land a knockout punch this guy is one of the best strikers we've ever seen in the UFC and if

to be without a combo I want the whole platter give him the whole platter young man put some punches together make this guy take the whole thing give him more than one strike you have now found a set of punch the jab is landing consistently find something that's going to go behind it nice punch land's hurt man it's almost like he's got a rangefinder out there just too easy as he connects with
