>Just Another proof Boxing(SUCKER PUNCH) is the best fighting technique
>>189184that's not a sucker punch though
>>189184There is not a single sucker punch in that webm.
>>189184all of those guys had knives if you pay attention btw
>>189184Not a sucker bro, get it right. Dude was squared up with him, full eye contact.
>>189466This dude's a cunt. The other guys are deescalated as fuck, and he literally turns his back on them, and then proceeds to make a 180 turn just to elevate a regular sucker punch into a SUPER sucker punch. I mean, if he had simply punched them while he was yelling in their face, that would have been bad enough, but he turned his back just to make it even LESS telegraphed? What kind of sociopathic shit is that lmao

Did Dagestanis debunk striking?
>>187963>Khabib was going toe to toe with Connor on the feet for exampleI think it debunked advanced striking. I believe Conor practiced striking more than Khabib and he looks like a better striker on paper but a haymaker to his face hurts him just like it hurts a mere mortal. Same with Adesanya vs Strickland. Izzy was a kickboxing champion and lost to a guy who ordinarily punched his face and kicked his belly. On the other hand, Jones' advanced striking always worked, even against Gustafsson who was a good boxer.
>>188049I don't think it really debunked anything. I think fighting has a rock-paper-scissors-ish aspect to it, where some people can give you a lot of trouble because they're simply a bad matchup for you. The power scaling isn't linear, to put it one wayThe Dagestanis are dangerous because they're all well-rounded and dangerous both as strikers and as wrestlers, meaning they can give the "bad matchup" to anyone
>>187961Most dagestanis fighters are "bred aristocracy" for wrestling style fighting, they are born and raised in an environment where you wrestle your whole youth with an effective military combat system while being in a high altitude environment the whole time.That being said, that is the perfect match for strikers that are weaker at wrestling, prime example is khabib vs connor, they just wear them out and close the distance while not engaging fully to avoid getting ko'd.That being said, a competent matchup like khabib vs gsp would result in GSP smoking khabibAlso account that most of those dagestanis with good winrates were usually paired up against strikers that get shat on when brought down
>>187961Not at all. They are on average, very hard men, their skill floor is higher than the average man from pretty much any other country. But their skill ceiling is the same, they aren't superhuman. Khabib and Islam are great because they are exceptionally gifted. Who else is as dominant as them, no one. The more the Caucasians fight, the more we see they're more or less on level with fighters from anywhere else.
>>187961If anything, they debunked BJJ. There was a time when BJJ was king in the cage but with the Dagestanis it's become clear that fence wrestling and folkstyle leg and wrist rides are far more effective. The smothering, hold-down style is really demoralizing and exhausting for anyone to contend with. High level fighters can't just rely on knowing some good submissions anymore.
If 100 random men and 100 random women were chosen to fight in mixed sex mma with legal groin shots, how many women would win?
>>186879Your chart is rendered completely meaningless by pic related in this post >>186762As much as you pathetic faggots hate real men, the bottom line is that biology created us to be physically superior to women when it comes to everything combat and strength related, and no amount of pretense will ever change that fact.
>>186879Even if you take a man and a woman that somehow have the same exact size, weight, and strength/speed/athleticism, the man is still very likely to have a significantly faster reaction speed, as well as higher aggression (while the woman is probably going to be more meek and more easily discouraged).>>186752If by pure chance you get a woman that's trained in an effective martial art and you put her against an untrained man that's smaller than her, she can win (some martial arts or techniques would give her decent chances against a larger man as well).But considering how rare those women are, I think that the matchup is very unlikely to happen.This randomness element makes the discussion pretty useless desu, since anything really can happen, even extremely unlikely events like the 100 women being pro MMA fighters and the 100 men being the weakest 100 able-bodied men in the world.If you had a competition where the men and women were paired with a respective opponent of similar size/weight/strength/skill/etc (one or more of these) it would make more sense and lead to a discussion that's not so speculative, but then the men would win pretty much every time (although it would be interesting to see how things play out when only one of the aforementioned factors is removed, to see how each advantage actually helps you fight).
guys did you know that the biggest housecat is larger than the smallest dog?really makes you think
>>186752Possibly 1 woman out of the 100, I would give that like a 2% chance or lower compared to 98+% chance of all 100 men winning.
>>186752They would wear a cup so not that many
Is this legit?

>>190810You're wrong about LINE. It's far removed from the MMA 101 shit they teach now and was much better suited for its intended purpose
>>192945The only people who think line is good are boomers who learned it in the 80s but never actually had to test it against people who do actual combat sports

How dangerous is head squish by a very strong man? Would it work in a real fight?
>>188283>lol, maybe if you're playing with the KO'd bodyWhat if someone is mostly immobile due to being on the bottom?
>>188275If a man strong enough to crush your head like that gets his hands on your in a fight, he has many options that are much simpler than squeezing your skull until it pops. I'm sure it's possible, it just isn't very practical.

Was thinking about Strickland’s remarks about Road House being accurate in that 90% of fighters wind up as bouncers after their career has finished. What /xs/ sport career has the best base for post retirement
This thread has also been made in mind that it seems most MMA fighters have a shitty afterthought of a career post-retirement. That Jake Shields has to resort to posting Holocaust denial for Twitter engagement for money just tells me how desperate things must be after it’s over. Francis was right to go for the bag
Colbozo btfo
>>192953He's very wise to go for the bag. He was elderly and aging. Should have just retired after that fury fight and left boxing fans buttflustered for years to come. But hindsight is a bitch>>192952Coaching?Open you own gym?I've noticed a lot of nobodies get picked up to coach specifics like striking or grappling. As long as they had one or two ammy fights they will be in demand. don't know what the pay is like though, I imagine not much.
>>192990>going after the bagUltimately, though there’s some joy in seeing Dana getting btfo and asshurt over it, Francis was completely right as an independent fighter to chase after fights with more money and those so happened to be outside of MMA.You’ll look back on his career and wonder what the fuss was about (he really didn’t have that many at UFC level) but he made the right decision for himself in the long run. >should have retired after FuryI disagree with this and desu I thought pursuing AJ was a very smart move. Especially the £20m payday he got from it. He could’ve fought a comatose bum like Hellenius for an easier fight. The way AJ exposed him will be interesting to see who he matches up against next >coaching etc This seems to be it but the pay must actually suck unless you’re training with elite talent. Though even that is an unknown in terms of what they pay these people to spar. MMA just seems more depressing after retirement. Plus most retire younger than most boxers (who seem to go on for longer despite the damage done)
