UFC FN Dublin

Gunnar Nelson
Was setting up the right by extending his left hand constantly as a measure. Thought he could have thrown more shots after the right though. Finished Cummins by fighting off a single leg, turning it into a guillotine, then dropping to knees to bring fight to the ground, took the back, locked in a body triangle,  softened up with punches and finished with a RNC.

Connor McGregor
Was keeping a lot of pressure on when standing and advancing position when on the ground. He hurt Brandao 30 secs from the end with a series of left hands (rear hand) to the side of the head around the temple while Brandao was stepping left , away from the punch, lessening the power but creating an easier angle to the side of head / the temple. This wobbled him and when he dropped to a knee the finish was a TKO from GNP.


  • stuff a single with a guillotine
  • use a standing guillotine to advance fight to ground.
  • MAYBE something to incorporate, setting right hands as an orthodox, by pushing opponent to there right (my left).
  • Thinking on this a little more, the classic setup for a right hand is sending them onto it (stepping left so they circle onto it) and the left hook setup is stepping to the right. However the making them circle right will setup a left hook down the middle and a OHR around the side.  While stepping left (depending on their angle) will setup a right hand down the centre or to the side and left down the centre or a left hook the the side. I guess ultimately circling right or left can setup either hands, the key is to stay observant.
