I was thinking of Stephan Bonnar. When I think of his positives I think he is tough, throws hard punches, is intelligent, good cardio, and has solid skills on the ground and on his feet. But I think he has too many weaknesses too. He is a step to slow, his reaction time/counter-punching is recognizably a 1/2 second behind others and his offense depends strictly on his opponent's ability to wear down. How do you shore up his faults without reducing his strengths?

1. Change his routine and get a foot/hand speed coach.

2. (I know this will sound stupid, just hear me out) get a traditional Kung-fu wooden man. This will teach him multiple standing grabs, blocks, and improve his hand-speed.

3. I think some instruction in traditional Tang-Soo-Do will greatly improve striking with his feet, which will merely add to his arsenal.

Your thoughts?

I think he should quit. He was never that good anyway. I think his knowledge of the fight game is high but as you say he's slow. Ya gotta like him, just doesn't have it.
