“I don’t like it – I can’t stand that style,” Diaz is quoted as saying by Bloodyelbow. “This convulsive style is a direct consequence of the fact that he made up for his lack of technique with such tactics. There is nothing more annoying than fighting a guy like that.”
“Yes, this is mixed martial arts, but this does not mean that you should mix everything that is not prohibited. If you have a strong base, that’s one thing, but often people compensate for the lack of a strong base and technique with things of this kind.
Recall that the 38-year-old Tony Ferguson is on a series of five victories in the UFC, in the last fight losing by guillotine choke in the fourth round to Nate Diaz. The last victory of El Cukuy was won more than three years ago, in June 2019, by technical knockout over Donald Cerrone, who, due to a swollen eye, could not reach the third round.
