Well, originally I felt that because I'm 7ft tall, 300lbs I would be considered a bit slender for my weight class. Meaning, I will be fighting guys 6ft tall, 265+ lbs. So, a foot shorter and twice as thick. So I thought I should focus on my ground game a lot, submissions and such.
Both my coaches seem to think I have solid knock out power and that I should focus on my standup more.
Ultimately, I want to be very well rounded. I figure if you get into the cage with me, you will know pretty quick whether or not you risk getting knocked out by me, so chances are you are either going to get crazy ending up with me knocking you out, or you are going to shoot in on me for a takedown at which point I need to be able to stop you, then submit you.
Being as tall as I am in my class I have no options but to be as well rounded as possible, especially if I want to go all the way through a division. If I'm just great at standup, thats as far as I will go until I get up against a great submission fighter..know what I mean?
