His overall stats are a lot better too, plus he has a one hit KO. I definitely wouldn't replace Johnson H2H with Sanchez H2H. Struve will probably be better than Alrlovski though-definitely agree with you on that one Lets analyse both fighters separately.

Michael Johnson H2H

Michael Johnson has 10 standup moves. Out of these 10 moves, only 6 can be landed effectively, 7 if you include switch leg kick. Abilities like flying knee, spinning back fist and overhand elbow lands very rarely. So no matter how much their damage, if i can't land them, then it's no use training them. Takedowns are his obvious drawbacks. In submissions, he had submission escape, kimura sidecontrol and Kneebar Halfguard. Submission escape and kimura sidecontrol are grey colour abilities and very difficult to train with matching abilities.

Overall, Michael Johnson has 6 grey abilities, 8 yellow abilities, 2 purple abilities and 2 orange abilities. Since he has 6 grey and 8 yellow abilities, it would take a lot of abilities to train him.

Diego Sanchez H2H

Diego Sanchez has 8 standup moves. Out of these 8, only flying knee is difficult to land, the rest 7 moves can be landed effectively. He has 3 high takedowns which includes a legendary takedown. In submissions, he has 2 submissions and one submission guard. Since he has 2 submissions, you won't have to wait for long time to execute a submission.

Overall, he has 2 grey, 6 yellow, 7 purple and one orange abilities so it would take less abilities to train him.

Michael Johnson has better stats and standup damage numerically but his moves are difficult to land and his ground game is also poor whereas Diego Sanchez has lower base stats and standup damage numerically but his moves land most of the time and his ground game is better than Johnson's. Hence, I would prefer Diego Sanchez over Michael Johnson. Peace out.

It dependa. I don't have so much problem with flying knee (one hit + flying knee) and spinning backfist (block + spining backfist) - it works often for me. Overhand elbow also is nit so difficult, but sometimes it is hard.
