We've often heard commentators say something to the extent of, "This fighter has flaws that might be exposed in the future. But it's those flaws that make him exciting to watch". Maybe Teddy Atlas said it on FNF.
In that case, Wlad is the opposite of that. He had flaws, he had gaps in his style of fighting. But he has since then closed those gaps and perfected his style of tall-man fighting. And as a consequence, has gotten more "boring" to watch. I wouldn't call that being scared. If it's working and it's giving you the dominant result that you're getting, why change it if it aint broken.
In conclusion as I've said in the past, Wlad is a One-Dimensional fighter, but it's by design. It's one of the greatest One-Dimensions of all-times.
