lead with the left, strike with the right !!! i usually throw the left jab first. it doesn't have to be very hard, i just put it in there face to kind of distract them, then quickly come with the right straight or hook, depends on what looks to be more open. i also enjoy leading with a fake left low kick, then coming right in on him with a straight or overhand right.

I have to say it is completely dependent on what your trying to set up, and where your opponent stands. If you both are squared off and your not looking to set up a kick or a shot or anything than it doesn't matter at all. Straight right, straight left, right hook, doesn't matter really, just don't lift your head up and expose your chin and your okay. If your countering a punch then it's all circumstantial. My favorite punch is left hook right kick right hook left kick. Or left jab, right straight, leg kick.

BTW Grawl wins for best technique for fake low left kick and coming in with overhand right; Randy used that!!

Now this is why I love MMA. 10 different people, and 10 slightly different ways to do 1 thing.

Lol very true.. Comming for a Kickboxing/Thai background my punches are usually to set up kicks. So like mentioned I like a left, right, right kick. Also I like to lead with a left hook, then right kick.

However, I know many fighters that like to lead with their dominant hand first in hopes of severely dazing them, and then going all out.

What do you guys prefer to do first and why?
Agreed the first one rocks them and the second one drops them.
