Re: General UFC/MMA discussion, news, updates, etc.
He has two strong options from that position, his right hand and takedown,
All in which relies on the opponent advancing
If you have a fighter back against the cage, you might believe you have "control" of the situation plus striking becomes much easier since they can't back up. Most of Woodley's KOs came when his back was against the cage IIRC.
I am personally not a fan of this style solely because fighters have already figured it out. Rory's fight (not that action pack) is a good demonstration on how to take away all of woodley's weapons.
If you're interested in in the more technical stuff of MMA, this 11 min video is one of the best woodley breakdowns if you're curious.
