CB Didn't Condition Himself Accordingly.

There's a reason why you should do 'sit-ups' with a twist to the side.

It helps build up abdominal muscle mass in key areas to nullify strikes like CB took from Machida.

Cowboy fell into the same trap against Pettis...

MMA fighters need to add twist sit-ups to their training regimen. Phone Post 3.0

I see you've perfected the Arm Chair QB position perfectly.

Good eye, op Phone Post 3.0

Hate to break it to you but if your inhaling and take a good body shot at the same time? No amount of core conditioning will save you. Phone Post 3.0

No, just an observation.

This is one of the first things I was taught at my Monkey Kung-Fu class. Phone Post 3.0

Exactly, that's why you should breath out on impact... Phone Post 3.0

Sometimes I reckon these heavily ripped lean guys can't take the body shots as well as a fighter with some cushion. It's like the muscle takes the trauma and bruises up real quick. Phone Post 3.0

Russian twists IMO

Fat is an excellent shock absorber. Phone Post 3.0

Sloppy Single Leg - Russian twists IMO
Yep, good call.

Anything like that helps massively against deep shots to the liver. Phone Post 3.0

Will be adding twist situps to my sidestep workout. Thanks OP. Phone Post 3.0

I think he should have avoided the kick altogether via a sidestep method. Phone Post 3.0

You're welcome : )

I recommend 200, split into four sets of 50.

Three times per week. Phone Post 3.0

Avoidance is always the best tactic but you need a second line of defence in case you get caught... Phone Post 3.0

Must be troll thread and I got sucked in. Phone Post 3.0

16

Nah, OP is way off base... CB just should have side stepped the kick.

17

He should have done twisticles!

18

OP thinks a lack of core strength is to blame.. Smh

There's a mid kick cover that will mitigate but nobody could eat that kick in that manner no matter what type of situps they rep Phone Post 3.0

Synthol injections into the liver area, done.

Not even Chuck Norris' leg can split a marshmallow.

I've never seen Roy Nelson double over from a liver kick. Or butterbean. Phone Post 3.0
