  • @Kaden-Riley
    @Kaden-Riley ปีที่แล้ว +336

    Justin made some really cool adjustments from the first fight into the second one. For instance, he stopped throwing inside leg kicks because each time he would Dustin would capitalize and hurt him so instead in the second fight he used outside leg kicks to offset Dustin's base on top of that Justin was a lot more calculated, he let Dustin lead and kept peppering him on the outside setting up the head kick off of that straight that Dustin kept trying to parry. Coupled with the accumulated damage from the outside leg kicks, it led to the insane KO in their second fight.

      fluke headkick, Dustin beats him 9/10 times
      also, the outside leg kicks he was landing weren't gonna be as effective because due to dustin being southpaw, he was doing it off of the front leg rather than the rear leg so less power

      I think this fight is what made the way for the Justin we see today. You can see Justin’s striking isn’t nearly as technical or controlled. Here Justin was accustomed to uncontrolled chaos, now he has more of a controlled chaos style that allows him to thrive more. Both were really good here, both are even better now.

    Definitely thankful for being an MMA fan whilst these two legends were active. These guys are a huge part of why LW has been such a competitive, exciting division, and they prove that you don't have to be a an undisputed champion to be number one.

    • @FIddlertheleper
      @FIddlertheleper ปีที่แล้ว

      I think alot of that was due to him getting his eyes fixed, his early style screams to me that he had trouble seeing the shots his opponents were throwing. So much of how he fought seemed centered around keeping his targets in front of him in range, and often relying more on feeling his opponents shots on his guard to track them down. I think he always had the intelligence to fight like he does now, but his poor eyesight kinda forced him into this more plodding catch and bang style of fighting.
