Thanks for clearing up my misunderstanding of your identity .
Ok...were seriously NOT going to argue over shitty fighters VS Xu Xiadong as exemplary are we?

Here’s a big mistake a lot of people make with hand fighting. You’ll see in martial arts like wing chun, where people stand toe to toe. And, they start doing all this hand fighting stuff to try to get in there. Nobody stays there in that range. If we’re really fighting and I’m trying to move Eddie’s hands out of the way so I can hit, look he moved (yielded), right? So, I’m going to have to use my jab and my footwork to determine whether or not Eddie is at a range where I can hand fight with him. If he moves away, he’s too far away. If I start reaching for anything (chasing hands) trying to fight this way, he’s going to punch me in the face. I’m dead, right?...
* BOY I GUESS it's not possible is it? Are you going to tell Fedor how much he left himself wide open for a counter punch to his face?
============================================================================================================
I know what Ramsey said...I watched the same video. I still have the same opinion.
1:34 "nobody stays in that range"....
2:05
Option #1 I am the one who said Intercept because that is EXACTLY what he used at that moment.
Then directly after that, Ramsey completely counters his own statement when he gives the
2nd option... that being " wait for him to not back up and then engage and normal. "
* By his own words it means: "His opponent stayed in that range". At least long enough for Ramsey to bridge.
Lastly, yeah I have that motto: "THE HANDS DON'T COME BACK EMPTY!...and if you think it doesn't work, it's only because the examples you posted was people doing it wrong. Or your are completely clueless OR you're trolling me.
For peets sake the very move that Ramsey is using is basically " Hands don't come back empty"
Example, guy strikes at Ramsey repeatedly and Ramsey is lightly parrying in order to "SET IT UP" AND charge in (with his bridges BTW) and after he makes contact (ie bridge) he changes the energy to something else. I.e. he either
subdues or wraps out of the way this opponents arms. (Best example, of wrap being an arm drag of course, but it can be more subtle.)
HE EVEN CITES A TAI CHI MOVE in the video...AS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT HE'S DOING.
If you think that "Arm Wrapping" for example doesn't exist just because you don't see it often in MMA then i can't help you.
Haven't' you seen fighters throw a strike (ie bridge) and his opponent then puts his guard up (ie block) and then the striker either:
- Pulls his arm down or wipes it away???
ARM WRAPPING is a huge part of "the hands come back empty".
* Striking Example, I fake a low kick and then I punch up high. If the guy runs away way or dodges, no problem keep fighting till you get what you want. If he doesn't run or dodge, and he raises his arms to guard (ie block). Once a strong enough contact is made, you can arm wrap and or arm drag.
* Understanding how to judge the contact level is exactly what Ramsey was doing in the vid.
That is part of, "THE HANDS DON'T COME BACK EMPTY! It's not those piece of shit losers who never fought and just keep their arms up and don't do sh!t with them. How can you even compare?
You gotta be trolling...haha...that's a good one bro. you got me there.
