He also feints allot, and people cant really read him when he decided to commit to a strike. This makes him get away with non-conventional stuff, like going in and jamming/tripping the guy...instead of going in with a one-two jab and cross combo.
Its worked pretty damn well so far.

Sherk was so apparently much faster and stronger, and yet almost none of his lightning-fast techniques did anything of substance. Whereas almost every single one of Penn's "lazy" jabs landed nicely, each at about half the speed of the other guy's punches.
The feel of that match was almost like an "internal vs. external" fight. One guy calm, relaxed, almost "slow", etc. and the other guy fast, strong/muscular, etc. They even look so different; reflects what they work on/how they practice.
If he only trained some Xingyi then he would be unstoppable

RIGHT! Because there are so many unstopable Xing Yi guys in the UFC! NOT!
