As stated with the leg kicks entry, people online have a tendency to fight like Glover Teixeira and exclusively go after punches and kicks to the head. Following this strategy is dangerous as it means you can find yourself in a slugfest where the most skilled player (namely you) might get clipped by a lucky punch from a poor player. To avoid this you should pick your spots more be a sniper with your strikes like the greatest of all-time, Anderson Silva. Players have a tendency to exclusively guard their head so why not work the body? If last weekends UFC card proved anything its that a well-placed body shot is just as effective as targeting the head. In the co-main and main events we saw Edson Barboza and Donald Cerrone severely injure their opponents with body kicks. If your opponent wizens up to the fact that you're pounding his fighters body to a pulp and starts to block accordingly then you are free to unleash hell on his face. Simple, yet surprisingly effective.
