This video analyses
Sterling/Mizugaki, Means/Sullivan, and Hettes/Brandao from UFC on Fox
15. Part 2 will feature Holloway/Swanson, Jacare/Camozzi, and
Rockhold/Machida.
Sterling showed some agile
footwork and effectively kept Mizugaki outside of his range, but he
exposed a flaw in his striking. Whenever he throws a kick, he exits by
ducking straight down or exaggeratedly jerking his head away, which
exposes him to counter knees and kicks.
Means tied up Sullivan's lead
hand at every opportunity and made the fight into a hand-fight battle.
With the lead hand covered, Means only had to worry about Sullivan's
predictable straight right, which he had no trouble slipping or parrying
on most occasions.
Hettes vs Brandao had several interesting scrambles, but the one I'm focusing on is Hettes' beautiful butterfly/scissor sweep.
