    @@JeffSainlarVisuals BOTH! I feel the UFC meta has shifted, toward more cerebral fighting. (CKB's influence lol) Holloway from Volk 1, Volk 2, and Kattar are different better versions. Ortegas game evolved similarly, and others. It's an awesome Era seeing these guys pushed to their best versions. 👏. Volkanovski has a task ahead of him this year with Ortega then Holloway 3. He got a legacy waiting on the other side tho if he conquers them! 💪🏾💪🏾 2021 is a year to behold in mma.

    @H.E. Pennypacker Sure, they train it....but it's not authentic. Get it? When doing MMA, you have to diverse yourself to other forms of combat. You can't stick to one specific category. If you put on a full muay thai training circuit for a MMA fighter, I can guarantee you will see the difference in how a MMA fighter strike, compared to a legitimate full time Muay Thai striker. Fundamentals is key, just like all forms whether its BJJ, wrestling, etc.

    One of the amazing things about training in Thailand with these legends is that they train everyone basically the same. The fine-tune the basics. I trained with Samart and it was almost identical to this session.

    Learning the Muay Thai art at least got him away from exposing the front leg which a standard boxing stance is susceptible to leg kicks. Good thing nobody exposed that part of his usual stance before learning in Thailand.

    Max is truly blessed and do think he lost focus for a minute however his last fight he looked better than ever . I really hope he gets that belt back
