His distance management is excellent too, he wants his opponents behind the black line in mma. He’s really good at cutting people off as they try to escape the cage. Izzy ate that hook trying to escape the cage in rd 5 of fight one. My only criticism is that if he utilized a more traditional boxing footwork style he could cheat his back leg foward to to close distance for the left straight but then he looses the ability to torque through a left hook. So I get the why there but it could make him more dynamic. But he’s a double world champion and I’m just some guy who works a 9-5 so who cares what I think really
Lol, I know what you mean. Sometimes on my breakdowns I have criticisms about fighters but I’m hesitant to give them because they clearly have a well established game that exceeds my own
Love you system breakdowns. I know that you mainly cover ufc fighters but have you considered covering fighters from other promotions like one or bellator? I feel some fighter are worth breaking down like Mighty Mouse or thanhle . If not that’s fine.
you spurred a thought i felt sharable....excluding jumping strikes, striking opponents in a ring, is a battle between your footwork which provided me with 90% of my effectiveness in strikes, versus dancing to use as defense, closing distance, and getting up close and personal....which is another reason ALI is still light years ahead of fighters today. will this ever change? idk

If your feet are moving. Your power is less than when you plant, pivot, and strike through targets. Therefore to bring pain, depends on how much effort you dedicate to digging in and swinging for the fences.
hey man im starting to fall in love with the sport of mma! really started to love alex’s fighting style followed by cory, so my question is, what’s the best way to start training? to just go straight into training? love da vids
The best way to start is definitely to find a good mma gym and go train. The hardest part for most people is just going. Once you go and get it into your schedule you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it
When looking for a gym just make sure they don’t do too much hard sparring and head shots. Unless you are going pro don’t risk the brain trauma and I could make a case you don’t even need it then
@@DevilDogMartialArts- gotcha man thanks for the tips & replies really appreciate it!!! will share your yt channel to other people that ill be training in the future! thanks again!!!!
I go into a lot of detail about this on the Nemean Fight System, getting ready to release on Dynamic Striking in the next few weeks. The short version is the principle of projected intention. Sell all your energy up with high hands and looking up and selling everything up, then attacking with just the leg. Don't pivot on the kick, it's not necessary when you are catching the calf. The idea is to hide it under upward movement.

@@JayGatz-sd9qj If you play like Bob Dylan
wow just found you. Great breakdown my guy. I feel lucky to have found you at only 2K subscribers. I can tell you're gonna get big!
I appreciate it and I'm glad you enjoyed this. Thanks!
Greatly appreciated man. I find your work on Alex very thorough and more importantly, to me, APPLICABLE through examples!!!
Glad I could help!
Another amazing breakdown. Thank you sir.😀
My pleasure!
The last person to ko the last stylebender but that was in Muay Thai. Don’t be surprised if perriera does it again in 280
That is gonna be an intense fight. He’s such a powerhouse and with lighter gloves he’s suuuper scary
They were in Kickboxing actually
cross to hook 9:40
hook-to leg kick
uppercut to knee 13:05
Great video, you obviously know your stuff
Thanks! I appreciate it

You’ll be happy to know then that Mighty Mouse is already recorded and coming out first week of November. I’ve also got Michael venom page on my list
@@DevilDogMartialArts- that’s great can’t wait
Thank you video ❤😊😊😊

Idk I’d agree with that. Ali was amazing but idk about better than the guys today but that’s a long conversation.

@@martialheartist Mayweather is UFC peoples champ? He is less skilled than Ali? none of that makes sense...
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
Love your breakdowns. When will your striking book be available?
Not making a book since digital format is better but you can also get a lot off my website www.devildogmartialarts.com

Hey can you do Frankie Edgar next?
The next two are already filmed for Cory Sandhagen and Mighty Mouse. But I’ll put him on the list :)
Great video brother,by any chance would you be able to breakdown his leg kicks?

Stone Hands is great fighter and terrible Wide Receiver lbs
What do you mean about as a wide receiver? I'm not a football guy. I agree about as a fighter though
@@DevilDogMartialArts- Having stone hands as a wr means u can’t catch
Gotcha, I didn’t know that
@@DevilDogMartialArts- does that mean he can't take punches??
