Excellent Analysis of T.Woodley / Blacksploiveness

GSP was smart to turn down a fight with TW, it's a horrible match up for someone who's past their physical prime.

The energy conservation stuff is pretty interesting, because it applies to all built African fighters.

Yoel Romero's game is the opposite of Woodley's in a sense, but the meta; a 10 second dangerous explosion followed by 3 minutes of rest, applies to him all the same.

Find me one endomorph Black Fighter that doesn't fight like this. You won't.

Add Rampage Jackson and Rashad Evans to the list.

It not occurs to me that Rampage would lose because he'd have prolonged periods of low-activity without a defensive strategy that would allow him to coast through, unlike the smarter fighters with better trainers like Rashad and Twood.

Remember Rampages fights with Wanderlei and Shogun? When he'd go into coasting / recovery mode, he'd mentally check-out for a couple minutes, and these guys would just rip into him.
