Your due bro. EVERYONE else in the top 5 has gotten to fight up in they're last two fight EXCEPT you, and they tried to feed ya to the young wolves twice & you took both them dudes to kickboxing school!!! Usman has beat up everyone else in the top 5, it's your shot bro. Your the only one taking on up-n-comers. Just give my boy the shot. Keep up the good content WB, we all appreciate it.

Thanks for this information Wonderboy. I didn't practice Overhand that much because it seems sloppy. However, it work for other fighters, especially wrestlers. So this vid really helps 👍

thanks for breaking down these punches. I have to watch all your fights in slowmo just to see how u dropped some guys. love this channel and the new pod.

Yesss, Stephen at it again with great advice!

Just been wondering when your next fight is going to be. And who do you think it’s going to be. I know you broke your hands so you been healing up. Just can’t wait to see you fight again. Like I said before you are my favorite fighter. Your karate style in mma is awesome.a few others have karate background but your style of fighting is so effective and the striking is off the chain. Just wanted to say thank you for putting on a battle every time you fight. You deserve to be in top 5 and a title shot. How badass would that be.wonderboy with the belt. Can’t wait. Tennessee loves you bro.

I don't mean that your podcast is okay Your podcast is informative But we have to watch the whole to get that info in between. I don't have enough time these. And yeah Keep preparing You are one win away from title shot. Usman vs Masvidal. Whether it's Edwards or Covington Just get the deal done. By the way You can appoint me as your Heel face I can talk a lot of thrash Whether it's Leon poke Edwass Or Colby polyvinbag Covington

So that "palm outward" hook (also known as the Russian casting punch, or in traditional karate, _furi uchi)_ is definitely unconventional, but it was also Fedor's specialty and helped him win a lot of fights. At least in Goju-Ryu karate, you're supposed to flick your wrist as you whip your arm, bending your big knuckles towards your opponent's head and going rigid upon impact. It's a very snappy and surprisingly stiff blow when delivered correctly. At mid range, it can loop around your opponent's guard slightly better than a conventional hook, and unlike conventional hooks, it can still be used at long range as you can throw and land it with a straightened arm. However, at close range in traditional karate applications, it's meant to be a rabbit punch aimed at the back of your opponents head, which is obviously a no-no for MMA. So what Fedor used to do was use it as a sort of "option select" (fighting game nerds know what I'm talking about). At distance, he used it exactly as I described: a long-ranged hook that could do big damage and sneak around defenses. At close range, however, he used it to collapse into a clinch, as his hand would already be in position for an S-grip, so he could deftly glide into a very solid over-under body lock and let his godlike Sambo do the rest. Also, the way it's thrown naturally causes your arm and shoulder to rise up to protect your chin, and allow you smoothly slip to the side if you whiff. So it was a punch that could do multiple jobs and adapt regardless of the range it was in, which was vintage Fedor, one of the most versatile fighters of all time. Disclaimer: I am not saying that Fedor was a karateka, nor am I saying that the casting punch and _furi uchi_ are the exact same strike. I'm just saying that they're very similar and thus can have similar applications.

Great information WB thank you!

Interesting. I was taught to step into it and it always seemed to have more effect than when leaving the back foot planted but this is backyard boxing not even amateur fighting I'll have to try this out

Thank you for the lesson!

Can you do a video on blocking punches and defensive techniques?

Excellent Thank you bro

i just wanna you gott an amazing father and a life.

Sweet T with the "rocked" stumble from wb punches. Funny dude.

It would be awesome if they did a video on ring craft. There are a quite a few people who are good at it but Wonderboy’s is probably the best in the UFC.

Hey Wonderboy... have you done any segments on karate for self-defense? Or speak to any event where you have had to use karate in self-defense.

I like to throw the overhand rights with my palm in like Stephen. Not only is your wrist in a stronger position but your bicep is more engaged as well, which makes the punch more powerful.

I turn my overhand right over so I hit with the bottom three, like a Russian hook. I do jkd/mma so I do similar to Jack Dempsey's bottom 3 knuckle punching

Dude I sincerely hope you get a title fight soon , I would also love to see you go up and dethrone izzy amazing style match up

Cant you get more power on the straight right with a slight sequential lag starting from the back foot pivot torquing through the hips and through the shoulders? But maybe that would telegraph the attack too much..

Dang that was a good one

Limp arm shadow boxing, try it. It'll feel and look goofy, but it can help some in learning to connect body and shoulders into arms. Also not winding up, be explosive to have no tell.

You're an absolute legit character man, you can do anything on KZread plus you got UFC credentials to back up your content.

The Looping Overhand on the ear was how JDS caught Cain. It didn't look like it hit flush, because his forearm had actually got partially caught in the shoulder. But it was still enough to set up the finish on the ground.

Nicest guy in the arts, period. Sweet Tea is a Beast. Saw his black belt test.

Wouldn't fight either one of you.. For that matter would have to heavily contemplate sparring Sweet T 🤣 keep it up, the vids are awesome!!

You guys should get a new wide angle lens. I love your instructional and break down videos. They are so good! Also i know this is a unpopular opinion of your fan base but i would love to see a new intro. I think there are so many options to switch it up and not only have the "what's up everybody" as your only calling card to your youtube channel.

Can you try hitting with the 2 middle knuckles ? Try to aim with the ring and the big knuckle when a heavy bag bare knuckle, see if the structure is solid on the impact, personally I find it to be solid with straight punches

I constantly practice the 1 2 side step 2

i like make subtle gestures to touch each other and stand really close to each other .

Big boy is a good teacher…he paints a visual with his words!

lets hope the ufc get this good man a fight soon

Can't believe they gave Jorge another shot just like that. Idk what your status is, but did they even hit you up about fighting in April??? Anyways, just keep at it WB, keep putting down them young dudes & they gotta give you a chance eventually.

Sweet T and his brother! Here we go!👊 Leon v WB next!!!🤞✌🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Edit - can't unsee Tony looks like Bisping lol

WB, what did you think of the latest Nganou knockout with an overhand right (haymaker)?

Jheeez ISSA BIG MON TING 🚫🧢💪💪💯

dear mr thompson what do yo think of japaneese jujutsu or judo for mma??

Epic thumbnail lol

I like to throw my overhand right after conditioning someone to expect one twos to the mid - usually I pull a jab feint, then one overhand that probably lands chest and a second with a step in that hits the chin. I wanna get good enough to get my timing more awkward, I feel like I can only reliably do so in beats rn

Overhand right is my best punch so far after 3 months of training. Jus started sparing and it’s the only punch I can hit consistently

Chuck Liddel had one of the best overhand punches Ive ever seen. Like the WB kick's are often imitated but never as good. I honestly believe if you can keep Usman at distance you can take his strap . Hopefully Dana gives you the shot , it seems guy's are scared of you as a match up.

Is the overhand more of a straight or a hook?
