In this week’s edition of The Ultimate Show‘s Move of the Week, UFC star Amir Sadollah takes you through the proper technique to defend and retaliate against a foot jab. 

Defense is often an overlooked aspect of the fighting game, yet there are a lot of great fighters who have made their name by standing back and waiting for an opening. Just look at Lyoto Machida, who can frustrate by not attacking all the time. 

Sadollah is a great spokesman for the defensive aspect of the game, because he doesn’t have an explosive offensive style that will lead to a lot of knockouts. Check out the video and see what Sadollah does to make things work inside the Octagon.

One of the brightest young stats in mixed martial arts today is bantamweight star Michael McDonald, and he sat down with Bleacher Report’s The Ultimate Show to talk about the UFC and so much more.

McDonald holds an impressive 15-1 career MMA record (4-0 since moving to the UFC), but it’s the star’s ability to knock people out (10 career KOs or TKOs) in a division not know for its power that separates the future champion from the rest of the weight class.

Keep an eye on the young star as he prepares for his next fight Feb. 16 against UFC Interim Bantamweight Champion Renan Barao at UFC on Fuel TV: Barao vs. McDonald.

This next fight will be McDonald’s chance to shine.
