This is fight study, where we use professional fights to study the science and art of fighting. We go layers deep, not just to go inside baseball for the superfans, but also to give rich insight for those who want to improve their own skills.


We analyze MacDonald vs. Gracie and the limitations of being a Gracie, Machida vs. Sonnen and the importance of making adjustments, Tyson Fury vs. Tom Schwarz and the complexity of fighting a southpaw, and finally, what went wrong with Aaron Pico's MMA career?
