How is outside fighting considered OP?

I'm pretty sure he is trolling

I'm assuming he's being sarcastic, because he was being sarcastic in another thread about the same exact thing.

This video is NOT an example of outside fighting against someone who only comes forward. This is to serve as two things. 1. Proof that outside fighting can be done against people who DON'T only pressure forward (this is to silence any claims that it doesn't work in any situation). 2. Give some small example of what techniques you should be doing and how to move while outfighting.

This guy I'm up against is not the greatest player ever, but he provides a decent example. I'm JDS (with a 3in reach disadvantage).

Note that I believe wholeheartedly that you can do this against a pressure fighter. People will even get so frustrated THEY will move to the opposite of the cage and refuse to come forward out of anger. I will work on providing an example in the meantime.

Okay, so do you not think Aldo was outfighting against Edgar because he was primarily punching? I'm just trying to figure out what people mean by outfighting or outside fighting, do you just mean striking from a consistently long range?

Not chest to chest is outside fighting in this game

This. If anything, inside fighting is OP. Players can just rush you down all day in this game. I honestly would like to know which GC's think this. The game has really just started to get some tools to help outside fighting.

I mean did make him whiff a few times but when he came forward he was still toe to toe with you. Majority of the exchanges were in clinch range.

That’s the issue. It’s too easy to close distance when throwing multiple strikes.

Im not saying you’ll aways win coming forward like that. I just wish closing distance was about cutting off the cage instead of just throwing 2-3 strikes and holding forward.

But props to your timing with the lunges. Definitely something I need to add. I stopped using em since they removed the ability to block.
