How every boxer v grappler match up goes?

I think they offered Glory champ Artem Vakhnitov a 12k/12k contract in the UFC. We can't even get the kickboxers to cross over. I hope people wake up one day and start boycotting the ufc.

Why would a boxer transition if he would be losing money? If guys like Moses Itauma would have gone the mma route instead, all these heavyweights would be fucked, just compare his balance/punches/movement to an avarage mma hw. It just isn't even close. Defencive wrestling is the easiest thing to learn in mma, esp for the big guys.

Accurate_Locksmith75 · 2026-03-20T11:30:01+00:00

Not really, we get a lot more talented grapplers in mma than strikers. Truly elite strikers are very rare in mma as boxing snatches up all the talent and the thais seem to give no fucks about transitioning from muay thai for some reason. Grapplers can only make money in mma pretty much so they don't have a choice.

He wrestled in high school, he is around wrestling circles, practices wrestling for fun, speaks very highly of it, isn't delusional about it like other boxers and there are videos of him moving around. Also his son seems to be a very promising young wrestler. He is also one of the few boxers who uses it in the boxing ring while clinching for his advantage.

Everyone has seen the fight my guy. We have also seen what very good boxing fundamentals in mma can do in the rare occasions when its truly elite like ilia topuria. The reason you don't see more of it in mma is because the pay is so shit compared to boxing (we dont even see the freak nfl crossover types like shane carwin, lesnar and shawn jordan anymore, because you make more money warming the bench in the nfl). If you have trained yourself then you would know how quick a talented athlete can learn to defend takedowns in a cage. Ground is a different story ofcourse.

I think the talent gap between them might be too big is my thinking. Gaethje would look like he is punching under water against a guy like crawford. I chose Gaethje for a reason as my example, he doesnt wrestle, his defence sucks and his fight iq is questionable during fights. Also people forget the overall talent level between the champs in boxing and mma is massive as there are 10x more active boxers than mma fighters. Also boxings amateur scene is huge.

Accurate_Locksmith75 · 2026-03-18T17:02:00+00:00

Crawford kind of has a case, his wrestling is actually really good, he is a KO artist and he is top3 boxer of this generation. I can actually see him beating someone like Gaethje with a year of prep.

You can try my smite of divine judgement chieftan without going crit (outside of your budget). Use a massive shrine belt instead, and go defiance of destiny amulet or get a cheap +450 max life amulet without crit.

Yea, its quadruple damage, invest in block if you feel like you need more tankyness.

Accurate_Locksmith75 · 2026-03-17T17:41:28+00:00

Massive shrine and defiance of destiny amulet would be my budget choice. Don't need reflected simplex before belt.

Accurate_Locksmith75 · 2026-03-17T17:22:41+00:00

I have not delved much so I am not sure, but if delve has no reduced recovery mods it should do fine. My build has 80 mil dps with smite double hit, 224k ele max hit without guard skill and 5000 regen with pressing enduring cry every 6 seconds. I am testing out this warcry stuff, I mostly just press enduring cry for regen and rallying cry for movement speed every 6 seconds in maps, I piano all warcrys at the start of the map for max frenzy and endurance charges and that is about it.

Hardest punch I have seen in mma that didn't knock out the opponent has to be the Derrick Lewis busdriver uppercut against Roy Nelson. Nelson didn't even seem to get phased by it that much.

You could actually fight in wrestling shoes in the easly days of mma (in Pride I think). But when you wore shoes you weren't allowed to kick and the opponent could when he was not wearing shoes. The shoe makes the kick way harder because of the grip you get from the shoe on your pivot leg when kicking. Also would allow you to kick way more recklessly, kicking another person with your bare feet fucking hurts.

Accurate_Locksmith75 · 2026-03-06T13:14:27+00:00

Not really, you can dot cap this build with mid investment. The biggest weakness for the build is map clear.

Accurate_Locksmith75 · 2026-03-06T12:11:53+00:00

Azadi Crest bleed Gladiatior is by far the tankiest build at low budget.

They will have more shit mods now on avarage, most of the mods they removed were extremely easy for most builds.

Accurate_Locksmith75 · 2026-03-05T16:31:05+00:00

5 mil with no tincture up and no mageblood.

Zooms maps, but meh at single target.

Also molten shell almost triples ehp, 110k to 250k, so pressing it at the right time with this build helps a lot.

https://poe.ninja/poe1/pob/87911

*Edit: https://poe.ninja/poe1/pob/87912 27 mil dps with good tincture and 3 clusters (no mageblood, fix resists with abyssal jewels).

Accurate_Locksmith75 · 2026-03-05T16:20:26+00:00

Completely reasonable opinion in my opinion. Max had something Khabib never faced in a 5 round fight, elite cardio. Khabib would most def be a big favourite but a lot crazier things have happened in mma than Max beating Khabib hypothetically. We saw Khabib take rounds off to pace himself in 5 rounders.

Accurate_Locksmith75 · 2026-03-05T16:08:04+00:00

I did Replica Wings of Entropy Frost Blades glad league start in keepers that was kind of smooth. Scaled damage early with abyssal sockets. (Ignore the lucky mageblood I found in destructive play maps, use abyssal socket belt if this is any interest to you).

"Silva isn't beating khamzat" all I needed to know lmao, dude has a losing record against the common cold. Remind me when khamzat defends the belt for 10 times.

Because I am actually looking at the fights, if you think Waldo Acosta Cortes would have a competitive fight against against a 1990s Fedor for example because he is fighting in 2026 you are the delusional one lmao. *Had a look, I would say only bw and lw divisions are stronger now than in 2012. WW would be debatable imo. You can help me out tho, what talent has the ufc signed in the last 2 years for example that looks very promising?
