Will be really interesting to see how Braulio transitions into MMA. Wonder who will be his first opponent.
Ive said it before. Braulio has potential to do well IF he trains his stand up and wrestling hard!! Theres no doubting his ground game though.
Good luck Braulio.
Scary on the ground. Can he take a punch?
Thats what we will find out lol. fair play to him on taking the plunge!Quote:

He should have a big reach and height advantage which should help him in his striking till he can get it to the ground.
hope he focuses a lot on boxing and boxing defense more than general kickboxing, as in mma 90% of ko's for grapplers are big overhands which they fail to defend as well as messing up kicks i.e. maia best example. I hope he gives a good account of himself, i'm sure he will
How old is he?
I think with his length, he should actually concentrate on kicks, as he would welcome getting takedown from a caught kick.Quote:

Demian Maia's problem was his very rudimentary and bad training. He didn't set up his low kicks with preparation punches which is a huge no-no.
