Fighters are thoroughly dissected before big events, but never judges. This stops now. Paul Gift has the first-ever breakdown of judge-specific tendencies for UFC 189’s main and co-main events.
As a competitor, isn't it nice to know when the other guy has tendencies? What does a dip of their shoulder mean when sparring? How do they set up particular combinations? What do a pitcher's facial and body movements tell us about what he's about to throw? How does a basketball player set up his jump shots or drives to the basket? This is all extremely important information in the heat of battle.
