Durán never actually uttered the immortal words ("no mas") attributed to him. It was Howard Cosell who said it, showing-off his Spanish when he saw Duran turn his back on Leonard. What Durán actually said (to the ref) was - "no quiero seguir peleando con éste payaso" (I don't want to keep fighting with this clown).

Wrestlers are tough to handle from a Ju Jutsu perspective. This is primarily in the area of throwing because wrestlers have great balance and when sprawling, a low center of balance...Superfoot Wallace allegedly, as a novice, bested his Judo teacher with wrestling technique.Last edited by billeau2; 10-21-2015, 09:27 PM.

You are also probably aware of all the Ju jitsu matches against the boxers in the early 1900's. Many of these took place in Hawaii, the founder of Danzan Ryu's teacher had a few allegedly. But most of the protracted matches were wrestlers against Jiu Jitsu men...

Yep as evidenced in those early MMA tournaments. That's why strikers eventually learned grappling and vice versa, with fighters cross training in multiple disciplines in order to be well rounded.
And Bill Superfoot Wallace was also a commentator at UFC 1.

One of my affiliates showed me his UFC 1 invitation 3 years ago ,he was at the time Muai Thai champion.He changed his mind when he saw the pay and no life or death insurance ,i think he said you got a 1000 dollars each win ,you got 60,000 if you won the tournament .Last edited by juggernaut666; 10-22-2015, 12:11 PM.
