WEC 50 post-fight press conference video highlights for 'Cruz vs Benavidez 2'

he needs to sit down on his punches. everything is thrown seemingly from mid-air with zero power. i swear you could just bum-rush him with no fear of getting KO’d. although he’d probably just get on his bike and pedal like Kalib Starnes and you wouldn’t be able to catch him. dude has no power with his current technique. it’s like standing LnP. we need a term for it

but in has past two fights, i noticed that he seems to be trying to emulate Lyoto’s style of footwork. This fight was more a mixture of both Lyoto’s and Anderson’s juke. I don’t know if anyone else would agree but that’s what it seems like to me. Its really kind of disappointing though because if he were to really train his footwork, he could be amazing. He’s very light on his feet and shifts positions effortlessly. But instead of having amazing technical footwork that would confuse his opponents, he has wreckless footwork that puts him in range to be hit by a much shorter opponent. He doesn’t plan his footwork, he just lets the momentum carry him and when he finds himself in range, he’ll throw something but gets hit in the process.
