Yessir, and after seeing how his Jab was hurting Burns in his orthodox stance, he switched to south paw therefore making his power hand now his lead hand AKA Jab and really hurt Burns with a stiff stiff Jab. That's what happens when Trevor Whittman makes adjustments from a coaching standpoint during a fight. Used to if you seen a guy switch stances it was more than likely a wrestler who was getting touched up on the feet and wanted to return to their normal wrestling stance which would technically be a southpaw boxing stance because they're right hand and leg now are their lead. And most wrestlers learn to wrestle with their right leg forward so when they make the transition to MMA they have to relearn a stance which is a boxing stance and how to wrestle out of an orthodox boxing stance which is opposite of what they are used to.
Trevor Whitman doing in fight breakdowns is the best addition UFC has made to their broadcasts.
He even copies the facial expressions. It's bizarre.
He's a great guy and really cares about fighters and the sport.. His fight gear he designs and hand crafts are revolutionary to the sport if they take hold.. He's the man
I love when they cut to him and he’s like “This is really high level stuff, I’m just enjoying watching it.”
Trash talk in MMA is so canned and corny that you could probably take any fighters that have ever tried it and it would seem like they're all reading from a script. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the UFC didn't have a couple ex WWE staff working for them to punch up promo dialogue.
Huge night for Whitman. Usman and Rose both with beautiful KOs.
He may have the personality of a desk lamp, but he is clearly a good coach.
He's gonna defend his belt few more times and he's on GSP level and beyond... Him and prime GSP would be a war and think he beats Gsp 6bof 10 times.. There's only one guy in the Division that's got the grappling,power and ferocity to maybe beat him and he's not even best a top guy yet so I don't wanna jump the gun but Khamzat matches up well with Usman.. It might come down to gas tanks and Usman doesn't gas.
Someone in the live thread last night commented that Usman looked gassed after round 1. I just laughed.
At least three people scored the first round 10-9 for Masvidal. I felt like I was on Flakka.
