    Well we know that. Thats hardly revolutionary. What Roach fails to realise is striking in MMA is entirely diffrent. Its all well and good taking a boxing stance and throwing punches like a boxer but because of the traditional stance that leaves you wide open for an easy single leg or double leg takedown. Fedor like his brother throws very wide and looping strikes but Fedors game isnt his standup its his ground work.

    People talk about proper punching technique. I'm starting to believe looping punches are superior to straight punches without boxing gloves, especially when you have to defend against a takedown and a punch..

    If you could picture a takedown feint, you shoot your arms down to stuff it, and the right hand is just looping right over your shoulder to knock you the **** out.. Its hard to throw a straight punch when your postured to go for a takedown. And its impossible to have your hands and arms low to stuff a takedown and defend against a punch at the same time.. Very simple, very effective. It works.

    He doesn't need proper technique the way he punches, he throws fast, hard bombs that set up a takedown or a ko like Sylvia,Goodridge,zulu etc.

    Just discussing this statement is ****ing moronic. This Roachguy said this ONLY to make a headline and it holds 0% truth to it.

    well, he is refering to "proper boxing technique" which Fedor doesn't really have but like most people have posted it really doesn't matter in MMA if you have proper technique it's how you use it for your fighting style which Fedor does excellent.

    Proper boxing technique is hardly even relevant in MMA. Fedor's punches are very quick and accurate, and they get the job done. That's all that matters.

    Don't matter, he has enough speed in his hands, to prepare his takedown

    It is completely unimportant how a human punchers, if they are accurate and powerful that is all that counts in the real word, Arlovski even with a big beard will crumble like a digestive in a cup of hot PG Tips from one Fedorian Punch.

    He's still the greatest fighter in Mixed Martial Arts history. So whatever he's doing must be working.
