On a side note, it was sort of odd seing Wlad fight in that style/stance. He doesn't use that style anymore, but it was sort of fun to watch.
Wladimir's style used to be nothing but offense look at his fight vs Ray Mercer, look at his fight vs Monte Barrett. He threw a TON of punches

There's no way he could have continued fighting in that style just because he was throwing pressure fighter amounts of punches
Mercer was old and slow and Barrett was a punching bag for all of his career.
