Fight science episode

if that's the one i'm thinking of, it said bas rutten hit harder than any heavyweight boxer, kicked harder than any muay thai practitioner, and lasted longer in bed than any porn star.

in other words, that show is full of ****.

 

A lot of errors in these videos

0. knees did not come from kickboxing

1. elbows & knees are not the weakest joints

2. so & so is not the best grappler on the planet

3. we do not now know how to fight because 'the ancient masters's secretes are out'. Our understanding is more based off of a strong understanding of physics (which this program botches) and physiology. Also, the techniques are not and never have been 'ancient secrets defended with their lives'

4. we will compare how hard ufc fighters hit compared to the pure martial artist Many of the ones they are testing were/are pure martial artists. Its not like a mma fighter uses a kick from muay thai, and it becomes a mma kick, like they invented it or something)

5. this dummy was specifically outfitted for this unique brand of fighter (and different from the one they ran the other tests on)

6. 'bas punches like the hardest man in the world which is almost enough to cause a concussion with a single punch' .....wow

6. Bas's kick 'beat the muay thai master' when he was using a different technique on a different dummy, and bas's dummy had its back to a wall.

7. Getting a clean shot on someones ribs with your instep will not hurt your foot, and will be more powerful than the lower shin because the tip of the whip moves the fastest. Also, its a muay thai kick, not an 'mma kick' ffs

8. Inconsistency: On ground testing randy generates '2x as much as the heavyweight boxers best punch' and 4x as much as randy's standing punch. earlier they said randy punched as well as the elite heavyweight boxer. These statistics indicate he only punched half as hard.

9. again Different dummy, and the dummy's head is against the ground, which will amplify the damage because it keeps it still and involves an equal and opposite reaction with the ground on the back isde. It does not mean you generate more power while on your knees, their own kinetic linking theory would tell you that. You would get the same amplified result, probably much higher, if you were standing and holding your opponent against a wall. Also, most punches landed from full guard do not involve the prone fighters head being completely flat against the ground.

10. MMA does not have 'a lot' of saftey rules in comparison to other martial arts

11. They measured the elbows after putting a headgear on the dummy?

12. they conclude that the side of the head is the most vulnerable to KO's without comparing the results to the chin, or the back of the head. 'there are multiple light switches' equates to 'hit the guy really hard in the head and it will probably KO him'

13. every punch is not a knock out for more reasons than 'mma fighters are superhuman and the best athletes in the world'

14. Tito is cross eyed and corny

15. wrestling competition is not in a roped off squared ring

16. 'mmaists can hit as hard/well as pure martial artists because they use perfect technique'

very flawed history, scientific procedure, physics, and logic. Im not just bashing mma. im sure those guys hit hard as hell, and are excellent athletes, but this video was bull****. I'm just surprised I could hear the narrator with dana whites **** in his mouth like that.
