Bloody Elbow's striking specialist Connor Ruebusch breaks down UFC bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw's feints--and his faults.
"When you touch, when you turn him--are you landing? Thank you. This is what's gonna win. You're a smarter fighter, you're a more intelligent fighter. Take your time."
--Duane Ludwig
Though far less shocking, Saturday's rematch between TJ Dillashaw and the man from whom he took the belt may have been more interesting than their historic first encounter. Certainly the interplay between the fighters was more compelling.
Dillashaw found himself faced with a well-prepared Renan Barao, ready to make the most of the nightmarish style matchup by pressuring and countering at every turn.
