Bloody Elbow's striking analyst Connor Ruebusch breaks down the three kinds of counters you can expect to see at UFC 191.
In a fight, the difference between victory and defeat can hinge on a single miss. Say you overcommit to a punch and find yourself off-balance, too close to the opponent's fists. Or you latch onto an armbar, only for the opponent to throw your legs aside and slither into mount. Or you shoot for a takedown, but instead of connecting your hands around your adversary's hips, your chin connects with his knee. Counter opportunities are everywhere in fighting--there are even counters to counters!
