I sent out a tweet which I normally you know don’t and so I sent out two here’s the tweet here’s the tweet that I actually sent up it was to the notorious MMA which is Connor I said stay outside the first three rounds don’t overcommit strikes mostly jabs get booed by the crowd doesn’t matter frustrate frustrate could be force bad shots tire him out in the fourth start stepping up the striking in the fifth let it go and finish him good luck John Kavanagh at John Kavanagh I tagged his coach because his coach well okay no people are going okay well why are you rooting for Conor McGregor and some people went like a little crazy like why are you when he’s a bad sets a bad example for the sport and all that and so actually the reason is because I’ve communicated with Coach Cavanaugh a decent amount on Twitter and little DMS and all that and just you know he just has been kind of like a cool guy and here he was going in to coach his fighter in the biggest fight of of Connors life and you know just because we’ve had that little converse that we’ve had conversations on Twitter a bunch and I just threw that out there like two hours before I mean we I was watching the first fights when I threw that out there and you know what the really funny thing is John Kavanagh texted back or he tweeted back copy so he actually read it and responded which is pretty crazy so so anyways because I have had a little interaction with coach John Kavanagh I felt like you know hey off of us out there also you know Hans sure Hans is like boys with Conor right and Hans is my boy so I was you know that that association there’s Association you know I’m gonna make hey Hans is my boy and he has been for a long time and he’s bros with Conor and so I just you know like again so so people are why did you why you for this guy when so there’s that whole thing now the the the other odd thing about this is you have a striker versus a grappler who do I root for in striker versus of grappler grab I always root for the grappler and I know that factually and statistically the grappler has the advantage because grappling versus striking the grappler wins most of the time how can you go the distance with this argument sure you can took at all the people that all the times that a striker is actually a good grappler and then they don’t use their grappling but they use their grappling only to defend from being taken down Chuck Liddell then there’s a bunch of other there’s countless guys that you can now name that knocked people out and people were known for their stand-up but what they really were their base was that they were a good restaurant couldn’t be taken down so but generally striker versus grappler the striker and this is what I talk about from a self-defence perspective right if a if you’re a good striker then that means you can run away the end and if you’re a good grappler once you get a hold of someone you can defeat someone that has good striking here’s the thing that people to understand in order for you to punch someone you have to get close enough for them that where they can take you down you have to get into their takedown ranch the ridge so you have to get in the redzone so once you’re in the red zone you can get taken down so how do you defeat that as a as a striker how do you defeat a really good grappler the way you do it is by doing what I just said you stay on the outside you you touch person up you don’t overcommit you shirk because the harder you notice how many rounds have you done of MMA sparring countless okay me too so it when I would be going against a striker the harder they throw at you the easier it is to take him down all day long and when I’m going against a wrestler that I don’t want to get taken down against like I used to do this to Dean then just frustrate him not commit to any punches not throw any kicks at all sit there in jab and run away for basically two or three rounds and even Dean who’s a far superior wrestler to me would have a very very hard time taking me down yeah so this is a legit strategy the reason I know it’s a legit strategy is because people have used it against Dean when Dean was fighting MMA people used that particular strategy against him and it worked mm-hm and so I know the strategy works guys that Dean was infinitely better on on the ground mm-hm and yet he couldn’t take him down and he was infinitely better at wrestling why could he take him out because they weren’t playing that game they weren’t playing they weren’t even playing the MMA game they were playing the I’m gonna jab you and stay away
