as fun as it was to watch a part of me was :snoop: to see that level of striking in 2013 mma

it wasnt that bad.

striking in mma will never look as "clean" or "Technical" as striking in muay tai or boxing. but they are completely different disciplines.

smaller gloves, the threat of takedowns, the different stances, and the scoring system, will make mma striking different.

^^ :sadbron::damn::damn:

Struve needs to learn how to use that reach. If I'm not mistaken his 84.5" reach is tied with bones for longest reach.

:merchant: Struve's skull looks frightening...what's up with that crack running up the side?


Hunt-Big Country sounds MARVELOUS...he just beat the #9 ranked Struve...give him another top 10/fringe top 10 guy like Nelson...I have a feeling Nelson is dumb AND DURABLE enough to stand w/ Hunt....but if he can get it to the ground:scusthov:


During the backstage interview, it seems like Wand wants to go back to MW b/c he feels 205 has too many large fighters there...I'd like for him to retire but if he doesn't...let's just get that Vitor rematch and call it a day.
