Lyoto Machida Karate Do: Technique 6

This combo is very simple and highly effective.  It is utilized from kicking range to close the distance and land a powerful overhand left to your opponent’s face.

You start the combo in orthodox stance.  Shifting your weight forward to your lead leg turn your hips as you throw a convincing straight right toward your opponents face.  Keep in mind this is thrown as a distraction and not meant to hit your opponent, so don’t reach and compromise your balance.  Also, make sure you throw toward the eyes to disrupt their vision.  After fully extending your right cross use your extended hand to compromise your opponents guard by grabbing his lead hand.

UFC on FOX 4 Shogun VS Vera

Main Card Event Breakdown

DaMarques Johnson vs Mike Swick
First off Mike Swick has been out of the game for 2 1/2 years, this would be hard to overcome for any fighter.  In strength and cardio I would give Damarques Johnson a slight edge.  The speed and striking advantage would go to Mike Swick.  On the ground its close, I think it depends who ends up on top.  But, I don't see this ending up on the ground unless Damarques takes it there.  In the end I see Damarques Johnson taking this near the end of the 2nd via gnp.
