Bloody Elbow's striking specialist Connor Ruebusch breaks down the brilliant clinch techniques which led Demetrious Johnson to a dominant first-round victory over touted challenger Henry Cejudo.
When Demetrious Johnson stepped into the cage at UFC 197, he did so as one of the two best pound-for-pound fighters in the sport of MMA. Preceding a tepid (if dominant) performance by Jon Jones, the only other man in that discussion, he may have cemented himself as the greatest mixed martial artist on the planet.
Johnson and Jones share a number of similarities. Both are out-fighters of a type, who prefer to fight either at long range, or in close.
