That’s like telling a frigid woman to just get wet.
Not even joking. It’s a bit more complicated than ‘just relax and throw’. He’s probably thought of that already

He kept it standing and just jumped in front of the unranked not very dangerous dude for two minutes at a time until he tried to take him down again or the round was over.

I get the impression you don’t believe in hocus Pocus psychology.
I think it’s pretty clear that he has the yips to some extent. He’s even admitting it.

Might not because MVP will demand a huge fee. He is getting offers from PFL and BKFC already so they need deep pockets.
Another great interview by MVP on Helwani yesterday.
I was glad to be wrong as he confirmed he’d consulted a psychologist about his offensive yips. He was matter of fact about it. Very reasonable.
Basically he seems to think the lack of personality in UFC stifles his performance though. This is very possible from a psych POV.
He possibly needs the intro and pageantry to release his attentional control.
Also he’s old. That makes flow state less easy to access once attentional control issues begin.

if he's going to a psych then he himself has a problem with his performance. you defend him more than he defends himself. you're gulping millions of babies at a time my man.

Andersen silva was exciting as a counter fighter. I only recall him eating shit from the fans and dana over the Maia fight with him slapping the ground to get Damien to engage. but Andersen would give them a little something to counter then counter their counter. there's plenty of examples of successful counter fighters who don't throw a jab from 6' away then circle.
