lol this is so dumb. you can find video after video of ppl getting slammed on their head in a street fight. I was one of the people proud of Mercer when he koed Sylvia and defended boxing for self defense. But realistically 9 of 10 times the boxer gets taken down and destroyed. They are lacking in essential grappling, clinch fighting and kicking knowledge. Don't matter how many illegal stuff you know. There is a reason why Tyson Fury wants Francis Ngannou to fight with mma gloves with hands only. He knows what would happen if you allow kicks and grappling.
kicks if I give them credit, they are very effective, but grapling is overrated most street fights are resolved with striking Many graplers dont know how hit, like ben askren never rule out a boxer with good punch and technique, he will always have a chance This content is protected
The most important answer is that the best fight the best no bull**** no excuses no ducking no diving one belt for everyone to go for and only traditional weight classes
but in a gym I will not be able to hit him on the back of the neck when he hugs me or receive him with a paw in the face could kill him
I agree with you on that, because they are all under the same promoter, be it the UFC, Bellator, ONE, but they do not make the UFC champion fight with the Bellator champion, for example
There are street fights from the same channel that feature guys slamming heads into concrete. Dont kid yourself most of those guys would lose to Ben Askren. Ben has a strong squeeze that can cause a water melon to explode. His wrestling alone would have all these guys down and tapped in minutes if not seconds. They are levels to this game. Once you go to an mma gym and see good guys doing grappling , you have greater appreciation for the elites.
The whole "but street fights dont have grappling" or "I watched a street fight and a guy tried to take someone down but got kicked in the head" so therefore grappling must not work argument always makes me laugh. Because if a bunch of untrained and probably drunk people cant do something, it cant be done.
in a street fight someone is likely to kick you while you are on the ground This content is protected This content is protected 7
and we know the boxers kick harder than mma fighters who actually kick. I like how dirty fighting only applies to boxers but not mma fighters who already utilize their entire bodies as a weapon and can straight kick you in the dk, maul your face from mounted position. mma fighters are more equipped to fight dirty.
obviously the boxer is not going to use only his fists in a street fight, it is his base but he can also use his legs and grip, where a boxer with a punch touches him, the mma falls asleep This content is protected They may be more prepared but nothing prepares you to receive a good punch and those of mma have glass jaws, like bj penn knocked out by a drunk
stop it, you're making me laugh. We have guys that eat head kicks, go watch a mark hunt fight. Ray mercer took one head kick and quit. Mma fighters dont need to trade , they can put your favorite boxer in a standing guilotine choke and have them passed out. you're not proving your point by posting random videos of a guy punching a bunch of untrained ppl.
