Korean Rambo Shoulder rolls and side stance work perfectly in MMA, you need good footwork so you can avoid leg kicks and take downs, it's not that hard to sprawl if you're in side stance and rolling is important to reduce impact of punches to you and it sets up for a power counter.

Jackrabbit I think you're looking at it in a black and white view, you don't need to check leg kicks to eliminate them from your opponents arsenal, leg retraction and distance management are adequate replacements, the shoulder roll defo works its just hard to apply, and it's a small skill to spend so much time on, I mean mayweather doesn't use it as much as people think, it's a small part in his arsenal, as for the takedowns, again you're side on so in and out movement makes distance control easier, if you're smart if they shoot, they shall only really have a single leg open, which you can plan around/prepare for. Not saying side on stance is THE stance for mma, just some good for thought

straight out the gate with some knowledge!!! love it!!

Imagine having Hopkins as your trainer, you could not fail. He is the definition of discipline and dedication. 48 yrs old and still world class. Old school. The shoulder roll is a superb technique, perfected by the great GEORGE BENTON back in the days. Boxers and MMA-fighters, we can learn from each other. We are different kids but from the same family.

Ive been goin' back to this video for YEARS! I love hearing people talk about what they know about. Bernard enjoyed himself on this one.

Outside of Mike Tyson, Shane Mosley (in his prime), & Oscar, not too many boxers I liked better than Bernard Hopkins growing up.

Hahhaa.... I love it! Rashad just asked about the right hand and what he got from B-Hop was $$$ as far as boxing knowledge. Can you tell Bernard loves talking boxing??

Bernard Hopkins is the most underrated boxer of the last 50 years.Great guy , great fighter and open minded enough to change his views on MMA .Hope he lives until he's 100 and rich like a king.

This is what makes Rashad Evans a true champion, you could see how he was really taking in the things being said, keen to learn and making sure to soak up every piece of information.

True knowledge from a master....

Hopkins' one is better than Jones' bacause you can see it coming from Roy by leg positioning easily. In case of Bernard you cannot and it is much more surprising.

I like he how just went straight into training Rashad with no conversation or setup to training. I haven't been a boxing fan since Mike Tyson stopped boxing but when Bernard talks you listen. If I was to train with anyone it would be Rashad because I like the way he bounces around in a fight and fast jerky movements. I think those jerky movements come from Rashad training in 52?

Shout to the ufc for putting this out. They need it make it a habit of putting out more backstage gems,

As someone who trains and also studies the shit out of fighting strategies and techniques, this is a must watch video for anyone who does a striking martial art. Doesn't matter if its Muay Thai or Boxing or Karate or whatever. This is seriously some top notch advice from a top level boxer.

Also we don't give a fuck about your striking ability, it don't mean shit in practical situations, all that bobbing and weaving and angles don't work cause of worrying about someone going for a takedown or having a totally different positioning because you need to be able to throw kicks and check kicks, talking about weak chins when everyone knows the amount of energy you exert through grappling is more harsh than anything in boxing, it makes you tire much easier and in the end more susceptible to getting ko'd, throw in head kicks and much more varied and unpredictable attacks and you start to understand why KO's are more prevalent in MMA, you don't know shit about fighting. Keep saying that dry humping shit until you get slammed on your head and your arm broken.

As long as it’s supplemented with a ground based Martial Art and some takedown defence, boxing can take you very far. Take the Diaz brothers for example, they consider themselves to be primarily boxers, but they’re also BJJ black belts.

@TheRedhenProductions

iggy082 Boxers who choose to win fights by points, or who just want to avoid getting hit, utilize the clinch, which is actually technically an illegal move in boxing which the referee will break up within 2-3 seconds. Clinching is a part of MMA however, and fighters often press their opponents against the cage with an over under, or simply put them in a thai clinch to land a knockout blow. Its been a long time since UFC 1 my friend, yes a straight boxer could get murked by a BJJ expert, but lets say Tyson and Royce Gracie got it on in the octagon (weight issues aside) and Tyson knew how to defend takedowns and trips. Do you really think if the fight was kept standing that a ground based fighter stands a chance against a seasoned boxer? Especially one like Tyson who KO's people stiff with 16oz gloves, a far cry from the 4oz gloves used in mma?

wow, this is insane technical knowledge from Hopkins

Genius!!! Three years later still kicking butt!

Brilliant advice. It is a good advice to throw the right hand sometimes without thinking about it at all, throw it in a way that it will suprise even yourself.

Really admire RE's respectful attitude toward BHop. Evans is already very successful, but not too big to learn more. Class.

Mad love and respect for Hopkins. He even shouted out a rival (Toney) in his impromptu training session. World class athlete.

Hopkins needs a TV show talking about boxing. Could listen to him for hours.

The sweet science of boxing. Bernard Hopkins the legend and street master.

Some of the best knowledge I ever learned in boxing 🥊 was from BHop. This is definitely a classic!

2 of the best at what they do very talented athletes

this is some really good tips right here damn!!!!!

I have no doubt Rashad considers this one of the most greatest moments in his life

Only experience can make you nice like that. B-Hopkins still got it passing that shit on like a legend suppose to do, respect!

Excellent knowledge passed down from hopkins.....doesn't matter what people think about him....he knows hia stuff.....true experience passed down....

This is awesome stuff - love both sports - this is gold - great respect shown by Sugar.
