He may be, but it's close and why would you give your fighter any mental thought of taking his foot off the gas or conserving when it's close? Especially in a title fight...
I just don't get Jake's strategy there, I'd tell my guy it''s close, you may be up but do even more. Like Jackson does for his guys especially GSP "Him him with your groin!"
He's not the only guy either, it happens all the time and BACKFIRES a lot.
