      It's hard to imagine him being able to fight and train the way he does without some sort of "supplements" just like any top level athlete BUT I watch his RUclips channel and it's even harder to imagine him actually cheating and taking something illegal. Dude is a beast still for his age somehow.

      The only reason fighters slow down is cuz of their style involves taking head to the head.

Prime age contrary to popular believe is late 30s that's when the knowledge and body cross each other.

WB is a comfy 170lber and he just showed us how fast he is be it movement, punches or kicks. Mcgregor might catch him but WB will eat his legs alive.

    Some people say traditional martial arts don't work. But what they need to understand is many principles in "modern" styles come from traditional martial arts. A great example is in this fight where Wonderboy nullified Kevin's primary weapon (the right hand) by attacking Kevin's right arm with kicks to Kevin's right side. This is a classic example of targeting the opponent's weapons so that they have no weapons. Straight from traditional martial arts.

    • @colejames423
      @colejames423 2 года назад

      Where are the people who say “traditional” martial arts are useless?
      Of course many traditional arts formed the base of what mma has become. Obviously. But the “mixed” aspect is also vital now as well.
      When your opponent straight up says we aren’t gonna grapple or wrestle, then I guess as a karate guy you’re good to go. Otherwise, you’re gonna have some serious issues if you aren’t focusing on all aspects of the fight game.

    The technique from wonderboys kicks is amazing. For the first part of the kick it looks like he's just flicking it out there then he snaps it over and it sounds like a baseball back slamming into his opponent. A life time of karate has fine tuned them.

    Very good gameplan by WB and his team. Holland is long, unorthodox, and has heavy hands. On paper these attributes should be a huge advantage against WB's fighting style cuz he likes to control distance, counter, and unload flurries but WB was so fast and precise I think it caught Holland off guard. He also did a great job at eluding the power shots, he really only got caught once or twice. Normally when you watch someone at his age move forward with those kinds of flurries they get countered and KO'd. He's looked really good in the later part of his career, he put on a similar striking clinic against a really good Vicente Luque not too long ago as well. What a fight and what a performance.
