Yan Cabral: Struggles on feet in loss to Johnny Case
Cabral lost to Johnny Case via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Sao Paulo.
ANALYSIS
Cabral is one of the most talented ground specialists in the world, but he just hasn't made the striking advances that are necessary to defeat better fighters. Case had a lot of ground control time in this fight, but he did little when he had the advantage and he got beat up pretty good on the feet. At age-32, there is little reason to think that Cabral's striking will ever improve significantly.
