Tactical Analysis: Lawler vs Manhoef

I am beginning a series of these 'Tactical Analysis' posts. Basically, these posts are about analyzing and dissecting MMA fights and learning from them. You can search these fights online. I generally analyze fights that are readily accessible on YouTube.

Today, we will be looking at Robbie Lawler vs Melvin Manhoef.

Throughout the fight, Manhoef was annihilating Lawler's front leg with leg kicks. It looked like Manhoef was going to win. Then, near the end, Manhoef drops his hand for a split second, and Lawler unleashes a vicious punch to knock Manhoef out cold.

Point: Whether you are on the street or in a fight, keep your hands up because anything can happen. Even if you are winning, you can still lose with one good hit to the face.
