As always, your appreciation of combat fundamentals is miraculously instructive and enlightening. It's my opinion that MMA isn't yet a "sweet science", with the rare exception of a handful of high-IQ fighters and coaches, because of the dearth of this type of analysis and incorporation. Being that it's actually in its infancy, there are naturally no people like Cus D'Amato, with a half century of experience, in modern full-contact MMA. Two or three decades maybe, but not five.

Nieky Holzken's style is more like a Dutch Buakaw than Dekkers though. He's just in your face the whole fight slipping attacks or rolling with them and firing a counter. Dekkers is in your face too but it's not a constant and consistent pressure like Nieky. Dekkers picks you apart until he finds a rhythm and then makes it rain on you. Nieky is way more measured. Did a beautiful job on Kosmo Alexander picking his shots to get the KO. That's my favorite win of his. Dekkers wouldve poured on more aggression and worked different angles a little more.

He does a lot of things I've been thinking about, wondering how they would work (especially for boxing) and it's great to see them broken down and in action. That's why I keep coming back to this channel and rewatching videos, and what makes these videos more exciting and interesting to me than any KO highlight compilations.

Dekker was tough as nails. In his later years they had to fuse his right shin to his foot due to years of accumulated damage to avoid amputation and he was told to stop fighting. His response was to switch more to southpaw and kick more with his left leg..... and he still kicked with his right leg. He also tore a bicep before his fight against Duane Ludwig and fought anyway and won.
