Being the triple OOO G that I am, I think that basic boxing skills are very underutilized in MMA. It seems that most MMA fighters have overlooked basic inside fighing/dirty boxing whatever that means. Most seem to concentrate on Muay Thai, and wrestling moves,example the knees, and underhooks. I think Vitor Belfort was a much more formidable fighter when he really utilized his hands. If he fought the way he fouhgt Vanderlei he would have smoked Tito. the opportunities were there but he never threw the leather like we no he can. Rand Courture utilizes a great combination of basic boxing defense and his supreme understanding of the clinch from Greco-Roman to control and dominate his opponents. More focus on basic boxing focusing on clinching etc would due wonders for the MMA game.
