An analyst criticizes strikers, particularly Jiri Prochazka, for not using wrestling threats to create offensive opportunities. The post references how even Al Iaquinta successfully used feints against Khabib Nurmagomedov to land strikes. Prochazka had physical advantages and some wrestling ability, having controlled Alex Pereira on the ground for two minutes previously, yet attempted only five takedowns in his entire UFC career. The post argues he should have used wrestling feints or clinch work against the fast counterpuncher Carlos Ulberg, especially after Ulberg injured his knee. The analyst contrasts this with Petr Yan, considered UFC's best striker, who attempted 65 takedowns in the promotion.
