    His strength and conditioning training is evolved and different than other UFC fighters, he really brings something new to the table as far as the fighting game. Modern athlete I would say. He has the benefit of being a kick boxer from the age of like 12 or 13, he knows his technique is perfect so he majorly focuses on performance now. Tighten up the grappling and control on the ground, and he'll be the champ no doubt.
