Fighting a southpaw

[Ehsan_Karam]

So I'm gettin' back in the cage against a lefty on the 7th of april here and I don't have a ton of experience against left handed thai-style strikers. Anyone wanna drop some nuggets of wisdom on a brother? for instance, am I more likely to get countered with a left cross when throwing a reverse round kick to his lead leg? Whatever other insights you guys have would be welcomed as well. Thanks much.

Concentrate on keeping your lead foot on the outside of his lead (right) foot. It's not easy because southpaws practice doing this all the time, but it puts you in a position that takes power from his straight left and puts him in line to your straight right.

counter with right cross all day, prepare for him to land inside leg kicks on your lead leg, Im southpaw btw.

Single leg if you are a ground fighter

circle toward your back so he walks into your right hand or right round house kick. dont follow if he circles cause he could be setting you up for the same. i switch stances when i fight and i use this kind of foot work.

Might be too soon to get good at, but I stand southpaw and nail standing scissor sweeps all the time. My absolute favorite move against orthodox stance.

Could you clarify this a bit for me? Circle towards my back? You mean circle away from his power (to my left) and then cut an angle by taking my rear (right) leg and stepping back for like a quarter turn to counter?
