Dos Santos just proved striking is the only skillset that matters

Not just boxing but great mobility as well. I was impressed by his ability to move around and pick his spots properly.

All he did was box, he has a great takedown defence but he didn't even need it. Wrestling and submission skills are great to have but there is no substitute for heavy fast hands like Dos Santos has.

ONLY?? don't be stupid
If Dos Santos didn't have good take down defence he wouldn't be half the fighter he is
Striking is a fantastic.. one of the best things to have but you do need other parts to your game
And sure this fight he didn't need it really but in the past he has vs the likes of Carwin

I guess you didn't saw him defending cain's single leg lol.
anyway, watch one-dimensional strikers fighting in MMA... other fighters wont even trade a single punch with them, they just go for the takedown.
The fact that Cain had to mix it up to get inside to try a double leg is what made him vulnerable to the Ko blow.

LOL. That micro second when he touched Do Santos's leg. yeah, I missed that. He caught him with one shot and he was toast. Next up Lesnar and Overreem, two more jokes to be honest.
