that's true, and a very good point. His sprawl is outstanding. But again, we really haven't seen what other top kickboxers can do in mma. Or have we? I'm not sure. I wouldn't call Hunt highly talented, he's talented, but with a rock hard head and chin, with huge punching power. Anyone that can knock over Wandy what, 3 times in a fight with a looping punch is damn strong. Another thing, we tend not to see kickboxers land lhk's but that's against other kickboxers. But when Carter Williams through one against Rick Roufus, make no mistake, it would have sent most humans to the mat. I'd really like to see a guy like Williams make the transition. Now, I'm not saying that Mirko isn't grreat, but I'm not quite convinced that others couldn't enjoy his success over time.

I guess what I'm saying is that we massively agree in the notion that great striking is of paramount important, which 99% of all mma'ers lack, but boxers and kickboxers possess, but we disagree a bit that mirko is the only one who could do it. Mirko's just been doing it longer.

I just beleive that kickboxers, TRUE kickboxers..not guys like Liddell, are too good with their fists, and the legs keep the other guy at bay.
