Filed under: Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos If you’re going to beat a striker like Eddie Wineland, you can’t go about it the usual way. That was Bryan Caraway ’s (20-7 MMA, 5-2 UFC) mindset this past Saturday at UFC on FOX 16, and it’s hard to argue with the results. The submission specialist outfoxed the heavy-handed Wineland (21-11-1 MMA, 3-5 UFC) and picked up one of his bigger career wins via decision at Chicago’s United Center on the FOX Sports 1-televised prelims. “Just because I have a high-level grappling game doesn’t mean I don’t have other parts of my game,” Caraway said afterward. “He was so worried about my grappling, it allowed me to use my wrestling to make my striking shine.” But like every good idea, it didn’t occur in a vacuum. The UFC bantamweight said it was his coaches’ work with his better half, women’s bantamweight Miesha Tate, that inspired him to put together a strategy that would beat a standout like onetime title challenger Wineland.
