Outside of the kicks in the first round I didn't see Condit landing very many meaningful punches in rounds 1-3. He kept going for the spinning back fist that never landed cleanly and most of his punches were parried or dodged. I think Nick clearly landed the better punches in rounds 2 and 3, not that either of them landed a whole lot. Not sure what you are getting at with the Mayweather example. You can win moving backwards in MMA especially if you land like PBF did against Hatton. Scoring is different in MMA though. If you are going to fight from the bottom or moving backward you need to obviously out strike your opponent. Pretty sure I already said that.
