Bloody Elbow's Connor Ruebusch takes a look at UFC: Nashville's Beneil Dariush and Sirwan Kakai, and takes away some fundamental lessons about that most fundamental technique: the jab.
It feels like ages since we've had one of these, but UFC: Nashville strikes me as the perfect event for a good old fashioned Tech Recap. All in all it was a very entertaining card, replete with tactical battles between skilled martial artists--even the admittedly frustrating heavyweight contest between Jared Rosholt and Timothy Johnson was worth the price of admission, at least from where I was sitting. It was the perfect encapsulation of what a fight night card should be, with prospects of varying relevancy sorting out their respective places in the pecking order against well-matched opponents.
