So do most people?

It's generally safer to move away from someone's power hand, and since most fighters are orthodox, they spend most of their careers circling one direction by default.

This is an especially weird thing to pick up on, because one time Bisping did decide to mix it up and circle the other way was against Hendo... and he walked straight into a right hand for his trouble and spent the rest of the evening moonlighting as an amateur astronomer.

Nah

i feel like bisping's footwork is good and has improved even if he still makes that mistake a lot, the rockhold finish was pretty beautiful

he sucks much less than he once did

imo he sold out to avoid the td above all else so he didnt get taken down and laid on like Rashad did to him. by and by it lessened his power and made him not very aggressive so he was pretty weak (especially to watch) in the striking. being world class tough and improving his cardio got him through the first part of his career and he had a certain striking acumen but any finishing ability only showed up when he could GnP, but he tried to avoid going to the ground. Yeck. Just a frustrating fighter to watch with lots of boring fights, and he got by Jorge Rivera by cheating and Hamill by bad judging.

I dont really know how hes turned it around

he's pretty savvy at this point and like you said he's really tough

Rockhold fought basically the same way he did in the first fight, when he trounced Bisping soundly, so it seems silly to say he fought a stupid fight.

He didn't take bisping seriously and that jab he lunged in with was so lazy

Apparently Goes had a brain bleed after that, which isn't surprising considering he's getting shunted out of the ring solely via getting kneed directly on the top of the head. It's like violent furniture rearranging

I've definitely seen people strap weights to their neck and nod their head like a hundred times in an attempt to get a stronger chin and it owns

isnt that just to strengthen their neck because supposedly neck strength contributes to the ability to take a punch?

Yes like I said there are more fighters working it into their gameplan. Nate Quarry is not one of them (and neither was Jeremy to be fair) and I was talking about Bas being right when he said there's no reason to throw a jab at the time he said it.

drat don't back pedal and change waht you said now dude or you spit on the lessons of every legendary fighter with whom you train with on a daily basis

Cody has seemed fine to me as a coach, they've shown some clips of him going over some technical poo poo with his guys and showing them what he likes to do in a lot of situations. i feel like it's hard for some really talented guys to coach since they pick stuff up so much faster than most. tj just seems really into it where he's probably emulating bang ludwig's coaching style

there's actual twitter accounts out there that are white right-wingers pretending to be black people that tweet menacing and racist things with like BLM hashtags and stuff and it's so painfully obvious they're not black. They even have a ridiculous playbook:
