I know lots of people are impressed with those two. Are there anyone who aren't?
I have never been impressed with either. I feel that only people who are are the ones who never watch anything outside UFC. I have seen thousands of better strikes than those two, I mean, if you watch Petrosyan fight, it's impressive, but these two? I just think it's laughable people talk about how good these guys are. They aren't really that good, in my opinion. I know Anderson had that front kick, and Pettis his showtime kick, but they try lot of different unorthodox strikes, and they are bound to hit one way or another. They wouldn't do the same thing again ever again, nor have they done it previous to that. It just shows the low level of striking defense in MMA, if you ask me, and that if you throw enough shit on the wall, some will stick.
I just don't see what's so impressive. I have seen lot of better boxers, kickboxers, muaythai fighters, by a mile. I mean, Pettis was dry humping Stephens a while ago, and he's some kind of world beater? They are good, but I don't think they are half as good as people make those two out to be. I think Aldo is really as good as they get in MMA striking, and I think he would beat Pettis, but have you see him spar against Sower?
