Chael Sonnen made this comment about the striking in that fight:
Suga landed way more punches than Chito but it’s not Chitos fault, because Sean was always out of range so there was no point in throwing a punch.
Point being that the same sort of applies to takedowns when you’re dealing with a master at controlling the range in Sean o malley
Yea Sean's controll of distance was the main reason he won. You're right about that.
The takedowns are harder to get because of this but when Chito made it dirty and landed those good shots or when he managed to get close to the fence - that's when the takedowns where possible 💯.
Combine that with way more leg kicks and you got a winning strategy. Easier said than done 💯.
