Check out Eddie Wineland’s minimalist hand wraps following KO win over Frankie Saenz at UFC on Fox 20.
Without fail, when Eddie Wineland fights, Joe Rogan will start in on his “Don’t teach your kids to fight like Eddie Wineland,” speech. Of course, what he means is, don’t fight with your hands down, chin up, back stiff, and entirely reliant on foot-speed and head movement to create defense. What he probably wasn’t thinking of was being a power puncher who doesn’t wrap his hands.
Still, if Wineland deserves any particular stylistic claim to infamy, perhaps there’s no more fitting one than that.
