...martial arts? I am finding that hard to believe...
I am thinking of what I have seen in the UFC in the past (and now emerging also)...
for example: when UFC was just getting going -Royce Gracie revolutionized the way fighters fight (even today)...by introducing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu...even though he physically wasn't stronger than many opponent and outweighed a lot too sometimes...he still was able to win BECAUSE HIS STYLE WAS SUPERIOR to his opponent's style...
today I am watching with interest the fighter Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida....some call his style "boring"...they probably said that about Royce Gracie too...he calls it the future...
His STYLE has given him many victories in my opinion (over Tito Ortiz ground and pound style for example)....Tito could not get him down...
to me fighting style seems not only relevant, but maybe the most important thing to consider...?
let me know what you think, thanks!
