The Straight Blast is a series of straight punches directed to the face (with either a vertical fist or just constant crosses) while running straight at the opponent. It is not intended to be a knockout technique. Rather it is used to pressure the opponent to get him off balance and then setting up for a big strike or take down. A perfect example of the Straight Blast can be seen in the Victor Belfort vs. Vanderlei Silva fight in the Ulitimate Brazil. Belfort was taking punches and then launched into the straight blast. The result was Silva being forced to the other side of the ring and eventually going to the ground.
