The Jab in Mixed Martial Arts and Fedor's Possible Retirement - PhantomUFCfan

What is going on everyone I am back to do a video on two important subjects in Mixed Martial Arts going on right now. Both will have differing opinions, so feel free to leave some feedback. My apologies on not having a Strikeforce Breakdown up last week. Regardless, I hope you enjoy the video, and as always check out my sponsors below.

good video man .. picking ur ear on camera .. not cool

[hattrickhockey17]

@yukdog Well lol when your ear is bleeding its kinda difficult. Had an itch then realized it was bleeding.

[libertines24]

hate to break it to you. He is the same Fedor but MMA has grown. Big Foot is just better. He will beat any Fedor

[hattrickhockey17]

@libertines24 I think he is to an extent, but I also believe he has lost a step. He isn't the same guy from back in 03-05. Regardless he will still go down as one of the greatest fighters ever.

Fedor doesnt have bjj but he has sambo so what is your point?

[babyface0514]

@33pantera fedor has no technical striking, silva does, fedor has absolutely no bjj, silva does, more skilled, hell no not even close, fedor hasnt been number 1 since 2005

[babyface0514]

@70fg 4 us true mma fans, wtf so if someone dont believe he is 1 there not a fan.lmfao. fedor was good when he first started, but 2005 up he was fighting nobodies/guys past there prime or guys ranked 10 to 15. fedor use 2 be good, but he is not the number 1 hw no even in top 3, he use 2 be but not now, jus cause u use to be a badass dont mean u get 2 stay 1 forever

[AbsoluteMMA101]

It happened to Nogueira first because he was actually fighting Top HWs

[jagc3ve]

Great analisys man.

[mmapicks]

With the small gloves, the jab is more of an offensive tool than in boxing. In boxing, its used as more of a "setup punch", i.e. leading up to something else. In MMA, the jab alone does much more damage. Koschek didn't just "walk through" the GSP jabs, he was taking a great deal of damage in the process. The Diaz brothers have used a "jab" of sorts forever - somewhat of a half-punch. Effective indeed.

[70fg]

Great analysis. Agree 100% with what you had to say. For us true MMA fans Fedor will always be #1. Athletes has their moments in any sport or competition where they were the Man. Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Michael Jordan in basketball, even Chuck Liddell. All of these people have been the man at one time or another at their sport. I personally think Fedor's problem is he's not as hungry as he once was. He's hinted at retirement in the past, to me his mind is not all there.

@joefarries Nah just that comment was lol. Thanks for the support and the feedback, I appreciate it. Karsten is an awesome guy and a great asset here in the MMA Youtube Community.
