Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I've watched the UFC since the very first one but am getting bored with most matches turning into kickboxing. I want to see all parts of fighting; the wrestling , the submissions and the striking. If this keeps up my pay per views could be over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadingpain Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I haven't really watched much of that, but that's interesting if the fights devolve into kickboxing affairs. I thought they almost all devolved into "jiujitsu" type stuff with both guys on the ground and one guy in a submission type hold. A lot of people seem to suggest that real hand to hand violence will almost always quickly result in both guys on the ground, at which point one guy is dead meat if he doesn't know how to get out of a hold, and the other guy knows how to get you in a hold. Hence the value of learning jiujitsu or judo or even traditional wrestling as opposed to other types of martial arts, which don't really "work" in real life....such as karate or aikido and lots of others.

You are absolutely correct when it comes to most actual fights in life . Unless you are a straight KO artist most fights end on the ground we had a fight club when I was younger and bjj saved my ass more times than I can count Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The year I cut , I got down to 130 from 140 then after that I started working out and got up to 165 in 2 months, I've been lifting ever since, 275 now, although need to lose some of this power belly.

Fadingpain Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Did anyone see the recent UFC fight where the guy threw a flying knee kick into the other guy's head and put a big dent in it? Fractured skull. Pretty gruesome to see and hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
