Rampage vs. Wanderlei Silva Fight Three: Details on Exactly What Went Wrong For Wanderlei Silva and Precisely what You Can Learn From It
I forecasted completely wrong in my preceding assessment of the match up. Kind of. I did declare that Silva would definitely own the mid range of punching. He failed to make it happen, yet somehow Quinton Jackson did.
If you have read my prior article on Silva vs. Rampage Jackson then you'll take into account Quinton "Rampage" Jackson has short strikes and is a mid range fighter. (Meaning, that Rampage Jackson likes to be in a sector in which most kicks are useless because they are too close and could possibly be muffled as a result of proximity as well as in a sector that might be too close for some fully extended jabs and crosses). He held the mid range this particular competition (it only occurred one time, and Quinton Jackson made most of it). While Wanderlei was throwing like a madman (which he made a technical error during, more on this in the future) Jackson used a short left hook and knocked Silva out.
Let us discuss the issues that Wanderlei had in this struggle:
* Comparable to his Chuck Liddell battle, he sought to box Quinton Jackson way too much (let Silva be who he is, a Kick Boxing MMA star, therefore you would have seen a different outcome).
* He was too pensive (he needed the Thai clinch, but he was too content to exchange punches with Quinton)
* The serious technical error The Axe Murderer made was dropping his fists to throw his hand techniques.
That is certainly where Jackson jammed him while using hook, Wanderlei could not elevate his hands up to muffle or hinder the hit, and it also was focused beautifully for the knock out (a Frank Shamrock principal which I show my students named the "button theory" clarifies this).
So what Wanderlei should perform, when he gets back is:
1. Don't listen to the teachers who tell him that he needs too box the other fighter (you're not a boxer you are a Thai Kick Boxing specialist)
2. Keep his fists up while throwing his aggressive leather, and cease being too pensive.
Simply speaking, he needs to be old The Axe Murderer, and be the hot-headed killer he always has been. Wanderlei must be Wanderlei Silva and give up striving to be a boxer. If The Axe Murderer can do this, then he is a force to be reckoned with.
