In my opinion the WCL fighters need to work on there defence. It always seems like there just trading punches and hoping to win by volume.
Truth to both statements. Only now are we seeing guys in mma who are truly (I'm gonna sound like that idiot Rogan here...) "world class." Until recently it seemd that the champ was a big fish in a small pond. That is changing. Guys are becoming highly skilled.

Also, you are right about the second point. first off, those wcl fighters are lower exchelon kickboxers, IMO. They'd never survive on a world level like K1, and if they try to be counter punchers they'll be deducted points. I think this forces them to brawl a bit more than they'd like.
