    I think el Cucuy should have been on this list.
    He is Left-handed but fights orthodox (because he throws most of his stuff with his lead hand), hangs his chin on every strike he throws, throws looping and sloppy punches, imanari rolls and does all sorts of weird shit, I mean the guy hasn't blocked a strike in his life.
    Basically he relies on his ungodly chin, ape-index, pain tolerance, general athleticism (early on) and conditioning to just outlast his opponents kind of like Holloway but with less refinement in his striking because he never spars.
    Super weird and irratic guy in general as well.

    Besides his striking ability I think one of the reasons Jiri’s style does so well is because in most mma, Muay Thai, boxing, etc… there’s this back and forth “I punch” “you punch” game going on and he just doesn’t do that. He stays punching which inevitably overwhelms his opponents because he’s one of the few that does it to the extent in which he does.

    I became a huge fan of DDP a few fights of his ago, because I always assumed he was about to gas out since he was breathing so hard and looking so winded. But no matter how out of breath and tired the dude looks, he doesn't stop pushing the action. Even in the last fight with his nose fixed now, he looked like he was breathing super heavy, but it did not matter.

      Eh, not really. He's good at putting ones and twos onto guys, but his defensive style is the sort of shit that's supposed to get beaten out of you during boxing. You don't reach to parry for shit because that's how you get bonked with hooks. The rest of it is also like... tall man's defence too.
      That, and he doesn't handle kicks very well. Abus was getting him with them until he just gassed.

    Hi MMA on point. The dude who's meme you used at 7:35 is Eddy Wally. He was a Belgian singer with the IQ of a guinea pig with cerebral palsy. He tought he was famous in the US and in China, just because he went there to perform for some Belgian fans. He was as funny as he was delusional. Very popular guests in talk shows because they made fun of him without him realizing it. He had a tv series based on star trek, a parody to be precise, which was called 'Wally in Space'. And they had to film it with him alone in the room, with huge billboards he could read his lines off, but even then he failed. They wanted him to announce a famous tv show called 'de tabel van Mendeljev' and after 5 hours of trying to get Eddy to say the name of the show. They just gave up. The clip is on youtube, just type in 'eddy wally tabel van Mendeljev'. Great video by the way, as usual.

  • @kcsupersonic1

    Merab Dvalishvili has a pretty awkward style that apparently no one can solve. He literally weaponizes pace and cardio. He shoots on you and takes people out of their normal striking rhythm before throwing hand for just long enough to make you think you can read him. Then he shoots on you again. Lather, rinse, repeat until he gasses you out or the fight is over.

    • @madgavin7568
      @madgavin7568 ปีที่แล้ว

      The way Merab is able to transition between striking and wrestling and back again is pretty damn elite. That being said the man easily has the best cardio in the UFC, and possibly in all of MMA honestly. Petr Yan had no idea what to do against him for 25 minutes.
