    if you were in a war and your squad ran out of ammunition and had to fight for your lives? Can you imagine a referee seperating the combatants due to low blows, hitting below the belt and hitting behind the head.
    (I am tired of the debate and hearing that UFC fighters are ***s and pussies.) Those in both sports are all tougher men than 99% of us who post here.

    MMA no question. I'd need people who have the skills to adapt to whatever the enemy throws at us.

    No way you can call an MMA fighter a ***** or a ***. Those guys are real hardcore and in a real no rules fight a top MMA guy would probably beat a top boxer.

    That being said I don't really care for the sport. I find the hugging and ground game to be very boring. I enjoy watching strikers like Anderson Silva but often his opponents don't want to fight, they just want to get on the ground where the fight is so much more boring.

    I'd want the best fighter, regardless of his discipline.

    An MMA fighter doesn't necessarily has to know all that. The key difference is that the MMA fighter must at least have experience and a fight strategy against all the other styles. How he chooses to train is up to him.

    I'd go with Mirko Crocop who was an actual real-life commando.

    Good point, and one that is so often overlooked.
    The best MMA practitioners can often be surprisngly one dimensional, what they need is defences against what they are weak at, a stratergy as you put it.

    All too often a fight is not won in strengths, rather lack of weaknesses, Cro Cop beat the best in Pride with a very basic ground game, but his defences against others ground attacks were almost always enough.
