CitiBoy7 Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Or make them attach bricks to their gloves. exactly Mighty Mouse is a great fighter but he just doesn't have KO power so his punches just add up and judging by Benavidez's face he put in work and Bsping is the same he has good striking but lack of KO power and its nothing wrong with fighters who lack KO both Johnson and bisping actually connected with their shots while using movement unlike Guida's last fight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StompGrind Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Smaller cage=More clinching. Refs need to start warning more for timidiity which is against the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banham Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 They just need to ban MM from the UFC. Anybody with a 10% finish rate in Zuffa should be dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think anything under 85% finish rate shows lack of skill and killer instinct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chute_Boxe_Champion Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Or, you guys should stop hating... The guy has beat the number 1 flyweight in the world before him and joe came down (mcall) and beat up a guy whose only loss was to the bantamweight champ bot of which being SD loses or at least one Mighty mouse looked great tonight, deal with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMAJess Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 I agree that the cage should be smaller. But if you make it small enough to force the featherweights to stand toe-to-toe, there will be no room for two heavyweights and a ref at the same time. It should be smaller, but they can't make it small enough to affect guys that small and fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StompGrind Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Do people not understand that a smaller cage isn't gonna mean more striking engagements but more clinching and wall battles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParaffinAlien Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Doesnt smaller space force more action? A smaller Octagon favors the wrestler/grappler. I really enjoy watching guys like Machida make his opponents have to really put the effort in to get anywhere near him, remember how he soooo badly frustrated Ortiz? The striker needs room to in which to perform his art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're a moron, I don't want your money" -Dana[/quote'] I seldom ever enjoy the little guy fights - watching that match up gave me a whole new appreciation for them. that said - those two were awesome and really went at it, and they in fact raised the bar for what an exciting fight should be. I think the only thing really missing is a sense of "brutal power" from the smaller guys - sure they are powerful enough relative to one another - but for some reason it just doesnt seem to me at least that they are "wrecking machines' - more like tornadoes.

DL4TRU_STRENGTH Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 yeah, they def showed skill - but more than that they showed tenacity & aggression - something the bigger guys could stand to use more of. I understand nobody wants to take too many risks and end up losing for the sake of putting on a great fight - but at some point if you fear getting defeated so much that you become almost to "safe" - then you really need to reevaluate your career in MMA/UFC.
