mma as a sport is evolving, its getting way more technical no more like the old days. future fights are going to be more strategic and technical. to the average UFC fan thats boring, I love it. Unless Dana White starts cutting checks if the fighters don't go out in bang, this will be the direction MMA will go in.

What Gustafsson did tonight wasn't really technical though, like I said I do give him props for shutting down a beast like Silva, but what Gustafsson did was use his reach to score points and he back peddled in and out. Anybody with a reach like that over a much shorter fighter could do the same thing. Although his foot work was awesome, I do gotta give it up for that.

Personally I don't see technical striking as jab jab back up circle jab jab back up circle. I don't think Gustafsson threw a combo the whole fight lol He did get a couple uppercuts in there though.

Dude is definitely gonna be a problem for a lot of people in the future if they can't figure out how to get past his reach.

they'll probably give him ryan bader next...

since hendo is waiting still for a title shot and rua will be fighting quinton once he recovers from the injury.

i think rich franklin even could be a consideration if he chooses to move bacc up lhw.
