Video: Matt Embree vs Josh Palmer

Sawadeekhap Y'all,

 If you were in the blue shorts class tonight you would've heard me make a reference to this particular fight, Matt Embree vs. Josh Palmer. Watch how Matt manages to dictate the range against a larger opponent (things like thigh teeps against the southpaw's lead leg, right hand counters off the recoil, etc). He manages to win the fight while mostly backing up, but not running away, which is a huge distinction.

Video inspiration: Saenchai highlight

A highlight video of one of the greatest...Saenchai is a fighter who's skill has allowed him to be successful for many years. He bends a lot of the rules of conventional fighting, but that's just cause he's so good. Appreciate, but do not mimic too much  ;)
