This guy LITERALLY ran away on 14 different occasions in the fight.
He didn't use footwork and movement to circle away from the attack. He turned his back and ran away from Glover, sprinted on many occasions.
The strategy ended up being extremely effective because almost every time Gus hurt Glover it came after he had just ran away to the center of the cage.
This wasn't like Joanna doing a beautifully masterful job using footwork and movement against Jessica Andrade, this was a guy turning his back and running away.
The worst part is that this was probably the most impressive victory of Gustafsson's career. He beat the brakes off of Glover. But in my eyes, it's tainted. And i'm a big fan of this fucking guy.
Just the way he got the victory leaves a bad taste in my mouth.Add to the running away; an egregious eye poke, and a foot sweep takedown while grabbing the fence
You can defend it all you want because it ended up working for him, but to me it was completely dishonorable and it should be an illegal act to run away in that manner.
Make it an illegal act and take 14 point aways. He still KO'd him
Oh shut up you utter twat. This is real fighting, not standing in front of each other and throwing haymakers. Defence and avoiding shots against a guy like Glover is vital
Now go back down to the basement and keep playing UFC Undisputed
I knew the response would be "it worked, so what?"
You're all missing the fucking point.
Wait you just admitted it was effective though. And he fucked the other guy upand finished him. You even admit that every time he did it, he wound up immediately hurting Teixera. So meow explain how it was a bad thing?
The fighters job is to be effective, beat the other guy up and finish them right?
I'mNotSurprisedMotherf**kers - I knew the response would be "it worked, so what?"
You're all missing the fucking point.
The point is "I don't like the way he won wahhhhhhhh" and is the 2017 accusation of lay and pray. Get better at fighting and shut it down then.
Technical Primates -You're obviously a Euro homer with your use of "utter twat" and "defence" and/or a complete fuckin moron.Oh shut up you utter twat. This is real fighting, not standing in front of each other and throwing haymakers. Defence and avoiding shots against a guy like Glover is vital

I didn't like the running, but I don't think had that much of an effect on the fight. Gus had a clear hand speed advantage and it showed every time they stood in front of each other.
I think Gus was running to avoid getting his back against the fence and being forced to wrestle.
The eye poke...shit happens in a fight. Calling it egregious is a bit much.
I didn't see the fence grab, but if true that messed up.
I'mNotSurprisedMotherf**kers - I knew the response would be "it worked, so what?"Haha you are correct I'm not even going to add too it based on these responses
You're all missing the fucking point.

Then what's the point?
Gustafasson should be less effective to please you?
I spoke my truth, you fags can go ahead and flame away. I got shit to do and am not gonna waste the rest of my sunday arguing with a bunch of neckbeards.
Suck it.
What's the difference between stopping a takedown and circling back to get center of the cage? If a fighter has the advantage on the ground you stop the takedown. If a fighter has the advantage up against the cage you get back to the center and fight at range.
Anyone bitching about Gus's strategy is either A) an idiot or B) rooting for Glover. It was a sound strategy and he was still very active in the striking.

So because I'm from Europe I'm automatically going to root for another guy from Europe? Some of you dumb yanks seem to think of Europe as a country, I couldn't give two shits if the guy is from the same continent as me.
I was actually rooting for Glover but I'm also not a retard and understand real fighting, you're clearly a "just bleed bro!" clown
Mutant -Nothing wrong with that either. You people ever hear of avoiding the fence and getting back to the centre of the cage??
Go listen to some real experts on the post fight show. Michael Bisping and Gilbert Melendez know exactly what the deal is.
Running is running nobody said just bleed stand in front of him you dumb fucks. Create angles and circle out, don't turn your back and run. Yes it worked against a wobbled one eyed Glover
Bisping and Melendez said they didn't like the running either and I don't consider them keyboard warriors lol.

You don't realize that you're the neckbeard here haha..... just admit you're wrong
Then maybe Bisping needs to stand with his back against the cage taking haymakers from Glover Teixeria and see how he gets on. That is Glover's biggest threat.
You can't just circle out against Glover, that crazy bastard will run you down. You have to get out of there any way you can.
