Raymond Daniels vs Jeremiah Metcalf (daniels mma debut Video)

True that people are delusional when they think just having basic takedown defence and superior striking will win them a fight.


We can look at Lesnar a monster who has wrestling skills that 99% of mma fighters dont but it meant nothing because he had no sub defence.

MMA means exactly what it says on the tin, Mixed Martial Arts. Without a good mix you can only go so far, some just seem to get found out quicker than others

 

Great point. Mixed martial arts states what is needed in its name. You have got to be way better than competent at various styles to stand a chance in the sport, otherwise you end up lookiing stupid like Brock.

 

Brock didn't look anything like stupid. He was beating the **** out of a seasoned veteran and former UFC Champ, avoiding several armbar attempts, and eventually got caught.

Aren't you the same person who said a one-dimensional wrestler has no chance against a one-dimensional boxer in youngtypos 'streetfighting' thread? atsch

 

No I am not that person. Can not remember who it was and that is not my point of view at all but sometimes it is fun to wind younghyppo up, I really can not remember saying anything like that though.




Brock looked great for a short time but the manner of his loss was very disapointing in the manner of the finish. Brock is taking the sport seriously though and will improve his alround game and I doubt he will leave himself open to that again even against guys who are not Frank Mir.

I like Brock and thought that loss was probably better long term for him than him just beating Mir up and taking a win. He will progress into something very good in the sport.



I know some people have a huge hard on for wrestling but you guys need to calm down sometimes.

 

Thats almost exactly what you said. It was weird, youngtypo, in his own inimitable way, was the only person in that thread who had any idea what the f'k he was talking about.

I believe Bruce would have added a fifth range for SUBMISSIONS. Otherwise, therein lies the truth.

 

Sure. Well rounded etc etc.

Point is: you can be pretty one-dimensional if you're Mark Kerr, you can't if you're Raymond Daniels.

 

Daniels got absolutely raped, but kudos for Strikeforce putting him in fairly tough for his first fight. Unlike Kimbo Slice, he didn't get a tomato can.

 

I am not disagreeing with you. Lee always said that anyone with one year of wrestling and one year of boxing would beat the crap out of most karate black belts. Wrestling is a great place to start. Ask the Greeks.

 

I think this means we can go ahead and drop those Cung Le comparisons. Le is still undefeated and the champ.

 

Well if I did say that. :-( I am sorry. I was talking bollocks. :verysad Pretty sure I would have been on the wind up with him or someone. Those threads are good for a laugh.


I was also talking bollocks when I said Japs can not fight at night. I mean it is 2008 and they have night vision goggles now for ****s sake.

 

Definitely, which is a pity. I'm really enjoying watching these guys like Le and Machida bring a (sort of) new style of striking into MMA.

 

Where did Bruce Lee say this? There is a difference in sport karate and regular karate (self defence karate) There are some techniques that are not permissable in MMA. I have trained in about everything. It really depends on the person and how they train. A striker should really be more of a defensive fighter in MMA. He or she needs a little wider stance and throw more power hand leads. A kick should really be a secondary technique. The kick on the inside of the knee isn't used enough that is actually the hardest to block onlong with the push kick or front snap kick for defensive purposes. As far as wrestling goes, I think that Greco or Sambo is the best for MMA.
