    Do you believe the foot step was tactical or an accident?

      I believe it was a accident because thinking about exactly where to place your foot in such a moment and then doing it in a mma match is a little far-fetched to me.

      The fact that he didn't stay on the foot during the hook, and instead slipped back to the canvas makes me think it was accidental. If it was intentional, he probably would've kept his balance on the foot during the hook.

    Also if you're comfortable in both stance you could step on their foot as you switch stance. I find that when I switch stance in close range people often expect a kick and will block it. I use that for an opening. But if they block kicks with a check, then forget the step on foot.

    Pereira threw what is called a shovel hook to the head. When thrown, the ellbow stays down and is lauched from the ribcage with a firm latisimus, transfering the whole weight from left to right foot. It has shorter and more direct path to the head so it makes sense to press your weight forward when throwing. By trapping the foot down, you make sure to overcome the short distance of that strike. This is a schoolbook example and a technique much used by the great Jack Dempsey, who had the first million dollar fight and served as inspiration to Mike Tyson.

    I did this intentionally when I sparred back in the day. It's definitely a target of opportunity and you can't have your head down looking for their foot. But when you get it, it is very unbalancing for the opponent and general gives you an open shot.

    It may not have been intentional, but I think people should be trying this in sparring and getting used to it. It can be really useful. I trained with Okinawa Goju Ryu guys for a few years and the sensei would have people do it on purpose before trying to get wrist control or get a shot in. I had it done to me and it doesn't seem like much, but it really can take away that 1-2 inches you'd need to pull back. The other thing they would do is to frequently look for a short judo sweep when you get into range, which is interestingly something I've seen Pereira do in training and in his fights. It looks like a really low calf kick, but he's actually executing it exactly like a a judo sweep - he connects with the inner side of the foot and tries to hit the ankle or directly below.

  • @theironforce3000

    I have a strong hunch that this was accidental.
    Not that he's not capable of coming up with extremely creative tactics such as this, but in the split second moment after brushing off Herb Dean, I think the stance n footing just fell into the right place.

  • @ED-yo4qi
    @ED-yo4qi Місяць тому +1

    Is wasn't an accident.
    If you try this on orthodox vs orthodox or southpaw vs southpaw you'll get countered by the lead hand.
    In open guard it just works, but it's a thing of physical brilliance. And it's surprisingly painful and distracting.

    What not a whole lot of people are talking is the hand fighting, Alex kept touching Jamal's hand and I guess it created some sense of security (if he's touching my hand he's not punching me) but right before the knockout shot you can see Alex kind of guide Jamal's hand down torwards his hip as he's moving forward.
    Jamal's hand should have come up earlier to defend but he kind of just followed Alex's lead and by the time he uncorked the punch Jamal's hand was still near Alex's hip.

  • @robo3383
    @robo3383 Місяць тому

    I think it was opportunistic/ tactical. Either Alex or his corner saw Hill was lagging/ leaving his front leg out in front when he moved backward. As Alex is backing Hill up, Hill starts off on his toes but slows down to only move his front foot a little. Then Alex stepped. Back in the old days in Japan, my teachers would do it to me and smack me upside the head. They felt it was legit if I wasn't paying attention to my feet. We trained to do it when possible.
