Many of you will already be aware of these videos but I wanted to bring people’s attention to Inside The Octagon with Dan Hardy and John Gooden. They provide excellent in depth analysis for the major fights in the UFC. They will bring up things you haven’t noticed even if you’ve studied hours of tape for a fight and whilst the two of them work really well together, Hardy especially is very elloquent and concise.

My word of caution though; they are UFC employees and are therefore obliged to put both sides of the story forward when analysing a fight. They may therefore place undue weight on one guy’s strengths to make it look like he has more of a chance than he really does, to sell the fight. Even so, if you are dead set on picking one fighter in a particular fight, their analysis will usually pick up on the other fighter’s strengths and give you pause for thought.

Here’s their analysis of Werdum vs Miocic. They also state that they’ll have a breakdown of the co-main (Jacare vs Belfort) and Anderson Silva vs Uriah Hall coming soon, so subscribe to the UFC’s channel if you haven’t already and wade through the promo stuff to find these little gems.
