I say this regularly, for the reason that this way of thinking is important to winning tiffs, and it is really neither broadly understood or widely acknowledged. If you possibly can keep on top of distances in a fight you are going to triumph the fight. It is like obtaining the high terrain for the period of a military fight; it's much more difficult for another person to take you down if they have to go up and also over to get to you. If you're able to choose where and when a struggle happens, you are going to have a serious advantage.

This became one of the first principles I had been taught when I was being brought up in JKD. My initial Jeet Kune Do coach kept beating the snot out of me during live training with this particular principal and I couldn't figure out why. It was not till my brother asked him regarding specifically how he was performing it that it came to light. But make no error about this, if you have this principle, it's going to make it possible for you (using the appropriate skill set) to defeat legends.
Cain vs. Minotauro was a decent demonstration of this. Cain utilized. his low leg techniques to establish a range with Nogeuira (who likes hand techniques, he's not really a kicking man) actually, I might go as far to say that Nogeuira hadn't met a kick heavy fighter (though he had fought against Cro Cop, Mirko Cro Cop has a tendency to use his leg techniques as cannons rather than as sector establishers. Cro Cop actually uses his hands to set up his kicks, and not the other way around.)
Cain used his kicks to establish St. FOOM (Dog Brothers terminology for stay the F... off of me). And Nogueira honored the kicks after frequent battering to his legs. Ultimately, Nogueira didn't discover ways to employ his formidable hand techniques and grappling and discovered himself on the end on the knockout boxing technique regardless of his vaunted chin and his vaunted capability to take a knock back. He could not surmount the tactical benefit of sector control (plus pin point targeting courtesy of the Frank Shamrock principal "the button theory".
How about we view this concept often? Nobody is really training this or understands the concept or if they do then they never have used it in an authentic struggle (therefore, they don't have a tested model to make it take place). Your best prospects for studying this principal is looking for conceptual JKD instructor, if at all possible from the PFS branch of JKD (Paul Vunak lineage). If you can uncover someone with a working knowledge of distance control, then you have a skill that very few MMA fighters in the world have as well as less can show.
