Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is back on UFC Fight Pass this Saturday (Nov. 25, 2017) with the UFC Fight Night 122 mixed martial arts (MMA) event, which features a middleweight main event between Michael Bisping and Kelvin Gastelum, who battle for a spot in the 185-pound title chase.

Bisping's main advantage is that he's simply become much better in recent years. His stance has changed, he's gotten better at feinting and hiding his punches behind his kicks and vice versa, and he's learned how to torque his left hook much more effectively. Whereas before he used to just wear on people with the jab and the one-two until they got tired, now he's a quality pressure striker, and a far more defensively responsible one. One of the things I've enjoyed is how effective he's been using a traditional striking toolkit against southpaws. Not for him the sitting back and looking for the cross: he's still managed to use his lead hand hook and jab mixup, by craftily working his way around hand traps and the opponent's lead leg with small steps and feints. If there's a real deterioration, I suspect it's in his grappling. He doesn't have the endless cardio that he did when he was younger, to battle his way back to his feet time and again, and he's generally looked far more ragged in his fights that have gone deep than he ever used to.

Gastelum has the habits of a wrestle-boxer without falling obviously into said category. I consider him a wrestle-slugger. ‘Slugger’ is a weird that typically has a bad connotation - someone who slugs is someone who can’t rely on boxing technique, and therefore relies on raw force to bludgeon an opponent out of waking life. But a good slugger simply knows their strengths, and makes the best use of their other tools to support their top (punching power) down (jabs, takedowns, etc) approach. At his best, Kelvin pumps a mean, quick, and thudding jab from his southpaw stance and wraps his forward movement up with piercing strongside kick. His jab first rate; not only does he throw it with power, but he doubles up on it to set up a big overhand left. As a result, his straight one-two combinations can look sensational - how Johny Hendricks wasn’t finished in their bout is beyond me. What this does is allow Gastelum to wing strikes when he feels like his opponent is running on E. This gets him into trouble (see Rick Story knocking him clean out for a split second), but that’s just the nature of the slugger’s path - play to your strengths, pressure, and force them to defend. It will always cost them more than it costs you with the right approach.
