Every once in a while I like to mix it up and piss a few people off today it will be about MMA, I know a guy who owns a MMA school and has kicked out some students because of the attitude of fighting and lack of discipline. MMA is great sport if you are training for sport, bring that in the street and be prepared for an ass kicking.
Unless you can throw hands and feet as well as stay out of the way you will be thumped and thumped good. In MMA you learn a multiple of disciplines and it can take years it takes more than learning an arm bar to win in the street.
MMA has rules, in real life there are no rules; there is kicking in the balls, punching in the balls, eye gouging, knees elbows, kicking, punching, head butts, biting, rocks, boards etc.
MMA does not prepare you for any of that, you are taught to fight in a ring with rules. In real life rules will get you killed or at least a good ass kicking, and the reason is when you train with rules and when it comes time to react your mind goes to what it knows. And if you are trained to fight with rules you will have a disadvantage because the other person doesn't live by your rules or MMA rules they are looking to beat the piss out of you
Kimbo the biggest street fighting fraud; Here's the reason most big athletes don't grow up fighting it's because of their sheer size, if they are fighting they are usually starting the fights, very rarely on the street do you ever see many big guys throwing punches; it's usually average size men.
Why do you think bigger guys are bouncers? It's not because they are tougher it's because their size usually deters people not to start trouble.
I know this because I have known many bouncers that never ever had to throw a punch in their whole life. The thing that people have to understand, just like anything if you don't practice and practice how will you ever get good at it.
If a big guy grows up never having to fighting what makes you think that the big guy can even handle themselves.
I'm not talking about thugs that mug old ladies, I'm talking about men that just like to fight or had to fight for survival; a person that is fighting to survive is far more dangerous than someone who likes picking fights.
What works on the street is different than what goes on in a cage. Want to make it interesting, make the fight a two on one or three on one in a cage; and watch how your thought changes and your game plan changes.
I don't think your first thought will be let me take this fight to the ground; it will be how I can survive this without being stomped.
I have seen too many fights in cages where the basic "keep your hands up" rule doesn't apply, and it almost always leads to a knock out, on the street if you let your hands down you die.
I have seen way to many weak, glancing punches knock men to the canvas and even the heavyweight messiah Brock Lesnar falls when someone hits him with a weak shot as a matter of fact every time he gets hit he falls, it's pretty pathetic and despite what people believe do you think Lesnar ever had to fight in real life given where he lived and his size?
You can either take a punch or not and in the street men that do fight often can take a punch, and the men that can't usually stay away from fights. When I talk about street fighters I'm not talking about gang bangers who are cowards and are only tough in packs and carry weapons.
I'm talking about a man that fights to survive in real life. In real life you never wait to be hit, you attack, hit hard and fast, know your surroundings, get out of the way and win at all cost.
Because there is no ref on the street to step in when you get knocked out and most won't stop, when you are on the ground they will put the boots to you, so either be able to take a punch or don't get hit.
Years ago when I fought I would fight like I was being attacked by multiple people and fought like my life was in danger and the faster and more vicious I was the faster I could move on.
The more you get trained to focus on the fighter in front of you the more likely in real life you will fight the same way whether you are fighting one or multiple attackers.
Years ago when I was a bouncer, the week after I quit the new bouncer let to men fight in the parking lot and one guy had his ear bit off, not part of it, the whole ear. MMA won't prepare you for that.
