I agree with the striking assessment.

He's very technical with his strikes, but doesn't throw alot of power in them.

It's like he's out to score points.

He's only had 2 UFC knockouts standing.

He's landed overhand's before, but even against koscheck when he landed them, didn't have alot of impact.

I also think that off his back, he's not very effective with his BJJ. (or at least he has not proven so yet since he hasn't been on his back very often)

With that said, he's constantly getting better at a fast pace though, so who knows how he'll show up against Fitch

His jaw. His face gets Cat butt when he gets hit.

Once he refines that part of his game and doesn't slack in any others he will probably have the most complete game of any MMA fighter (Anderson Silva's wrestling is quite poor-not that he needs it!)

youre completely right. he also throws a leg kick with his front leg that puts him off balance. other than that ive not seen anything against his game

I don't think the wheel kick he does gets him off balance. That kick is like a jab with your legs...Very effective because of how quick it is.
