I know that mma deals with the knowledge and discipline of atleast 3 martial arts, but what is everyones opinion for the best base knowledge, why and who is a prime example.
I say Muay Thai, because since its origin, it has been used my the Chinese military for their hand to hand combat and is known to be extremely deadly if used properly. A prime example fighter for me is Chuck Liddell, although he usually wins by using boxing skills, he is excellent at blocking takedowns, getting up from them when he is taken down and seems to know his way around a great stand up game. Honestly I think that David Liouso, probably spelled his name wrong, is a better example because he initiates more elbows and knees and ground and pound.
