Agreed... He doesn't throw many combinations or power punches. Short stocky fighters who can get on the inside of him can cause him problems. He was getting a little agressive when fighting BJ and Serra. He should be more patient like anderson is when he fights.
His kicks are lethal though. I don't know of any other fighter (maybe crocop, but even then) who uses kicks so effectively against wrestlers and not get taken down or even attempted to be taken down.
I would even say his striking is the best in the 170 pound division.
