Eventually striking will become completely extinct from MMA

Look around the forum man, everyone knew Rashad was gonna fight like that. Rashad's background is wrestling and he uses it in just about every fight. Only a noob would think they were gonna have a war, Rashad's too smart for that.

Why is the guy who never learned grammar calling anyone stupid?

 

Striking is improving and will continue to improve.

 

FINALLY!!! Short, sweet and accurate... THAnK YOU!!!

 

This makes me laugh, it's like striking has been invented by MMA in the last 10 years. People have be bashing the crap out of each other since the beginning of time.

 

MMA striking was created recently. Initially it began with what was most effective and that was hands up with the 6 common head shots. Then it evolved to people like Silva, Edgar and Machida. Guys who could keep their hands low and use their foot and head movement to evade punches like an advanced boxer. Now it is also evolving further as you see JDS jab to the body and Melendez throw right hands to the body.

In time you will see guys throwing much better combos, screw shots, leaping left hooks and right hand leads.

I think you will also see new techniques like shoulder roll incorporated but in an effective way for MMA. Not too long ago, I saw a guy agains the cage, shoulde roll and counter with a huge sweeping right hand that rocked his opponent.

 

I know what you mean, you are quite right. Boxing is much more advanced to me each boxers fighting style is as unique as a fingerprint. So far MMA striking is more generic but going in exciting directions as you say.
