This was so frustrating. I need Blanco by ud for the points, but I hate it when I see a fighter not take advantage of a glaring hole. Did the corner even tell Sicillia about the opening for the straight right?
If the next fight resembles anything like the little bit of footage I saw led me to believe, Miller will drop Bart with a right hand and finish him with something.
I also think some of those fence grab warning were unjust. He seemed to merely be bracing himself with an open hand against the cage, rather than actually grabbing it.
That was an excellent fight. Sicilia landed the best shots but Blanco landed more and got the more dominant positions. But IMO Sam Sicilia should be brought back for more UFC fights. They said the guys were fighting for their jobs. Sam Sicilia fights a style that people want to watch. I agree on his straight punch lacking. If he mixed straight shots in it would also make his hooks more dangerous. He is a fence swinger that is for sure.
The only reason you loop shots is to get around a guard, or over and outstretched arm, etc... There was nothing to go around. A straight punch is much faster, and very easy to land when nothing is in the way.
Polish Power until the big spider got his legs around him. Miller should not be able to take down stout FW's with ease. That was bad.
