The misconception of MMA

[Real King Kong]

You'll get no argument from me those wrestling dudes & BJJ dudes are kinda f#cking weird with gay or gay-ish sh^t. I think it comes with territory with being THAT close to another grown mans junk on you or your junk on him.

I'm more a fan of the Muay Thai, kickboxing, boxing, hellbows, knees to the head type sh^t personally.

Bjj kinda looks gay sometimes...but part of the reason it defaults to those positions in mma is cuz people learn to defend against most submissions and getting picked up and dropped or getting tossed onto their head. If those guys squared up with the average dude on the street...fights would be ending quick. Judo in particular is one of the most devastating martial arts for street fights. A friend of mine growing up was a high level judo guy and he used to **** people up in fights and couldn't even throw a proper punch. it always ended quick...either just from the throw or following it up with a choke. Once he got a hold of someone's shirt or jacket, it was usually over about 5 seconds later.

Who gives a ****?

Do UFC and boxing fanboys really think that watching their respective sports makes them a badass in the streets?

A Boxer coined that term moron and he lived up to that name.

The Baddest Man on The Planet, Iron Mike Tyson. No man can check him in the streets, ask Mitch Green, he'd tell you.

Everyone feared him, even the police were struck with complete terror.

u gay?????

Here is my take on it. MMA is as limiting as boxing, but in a different way.

Half of the techniques used in MMA would not work in a 'no-rules' contest.

A few examples:

When an opponent is on their back (and the other standing up), and you get this weird 'stand-off' with both guys.... the guy standing up kicking the legs of the guy on the floor. And the guy on the floor doing like laying down oblique kicks, effectively keeping the standing up guy at bay. In a real fight, if you gave up your standing position... the guy standing up would just full on stomp on the laying down guys testicles. But as that is a no go zone in MMA, you get this weird scenario where the guy standing up can't really penetrate the guy on his back.

Another example is half of the BJJ stuff. Yes, arm-locks, leg-locks, chokes etc are effective techniques. But in a real fight, they simply wouldn't work hardly anywhere near the amount that they do in the octagon. And the simple reason for this is biting. If you got that up-close to someone in a no-rules contest and tried putting in an arm-lock or something... you would get a chunk bitten out of you.

I think there is this weird thing with MMA where because it allows 'more' techniques, people instantly associate it with being more of a 'real-fight'. But they don't take into account that half of the techniques that work, only do so because certain rules prevent an opponent from being able to nullify them. Essentially the rules favour a very limited set of techniques. You have to realise that all sports... just having 1 rule, means you get always get a 'meta-game' within the game. If MMA was real 'no rules' fighting, I can assure you, it would look a hell of a lot different than it does in its current state.

Now, I love boxing and MMA, I think they are both exciting and both have amazing athletes competing in both. I just think it is total bull**** that MMA has this real snobbery about itself where fans and fighters believe that boxing is totally limited and that their sport isn't.

Please note - when I am talking about a 'real no rules fight'.... I am not talking about 2 average men, I am talking about the same calibre of athletes in boxing and MMA, but there are no rules in the contest.

Lmao this is what these MMA guys glorify.

They made a sport out of watching gay men go at (or as they refer to it within UFC circles, "Ground & Pound").

Miss me with that suspect garbage.

What MMA glorifies...

Technique over Size




The Rampage-Slam




The Randleplex

Tell them man.

Only a certain type of men can appreciate the acts of ****sexuality that is MMA.

Unfortunately those of us within the Boxing community don't understand this.

Tell them, Mike.

The more techniques you know/well-versed you are, the more weapons you have at your disposal.

The more weapons you have, the better fighter that makes you.

That's it.


Please note - You're talking about PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIGHT versus other people who don't know how to fight... if all they're using are their fists.

UFC and mama in general is fkin rubbish.
Grappling, wrestling and all that sht is boring to watch and it's gay.

BJJ is the worst kind of style for tv. When I heard that Royce Gracie is the legend of UFC, I watched his career highlights and they looked all the same with him rolling around the canvas in a doggy style position like a fkin scared phaggot. *** Royce Gracie he is a btch.
