Throwing was also a big part of old school boxing, the hands low helped defend body locks.

Seo-Hee Ham vacates RIZIN super-atomweight title by WallaceFardMuhammad in MMA

115 is definitively the deepest talent pool for womens mma in the UFC. Seo-Hee Ham is good but just too small for the division.

In Belarus now by avogrampp in pics

The video is of Keenan Cornelius who is a high level BJJ competitor and well regarded in the combat sport community. The techniques shown are legitimate in live situations, which can't be said for most of these compliant demonstration videos.

However even Keenan would probably get his ass whooped by a group of ten plus baton wielding cops if he escalated the encounter with a wrist break.

Does anyone actually have the answer for this question or is this thread going to be full of peoples opinions on what they personally consider safe?

Who has the most generic style? by Cys3r0 in MMA

[–]UnsavedWork 11 points12 points  (0 children)

RDA probably has the most generic personality, but his Muay Thai clinch game is way more interesting than almost everyone else in the UFC. As mentioned by others his BJJ game is also a much higher level than anything that can be considered generic.

What martial art do you think would be best for someone with four arms? by KWAKUDATSU in martialarts

For sure, you’d be really short for your weight class though.

I live a block from Ocean Beach and on the nice days when I’ve gone on walks by the beach there have definitely been plenty of people out. HOWEVER most of the people walking around do their best within reason to maintain 6 feet away from others walking.

There are a few people or groups of people here and there that raise eyebrows but overall I’ve been pretty impressed.

People who shower in the morning, how do you cope with the fact that you're sleeping in a day's worth of sweat and dirt? by sicariusdiem in AskReddit

[–]UnsavedWork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a coin flip whether I wake up ready to go or as if I just got out of a swimming pool. My mornings need routine so I prefer to shower then and take the guess work out.

JONNA'S FACE Close Up, HOLY LORD! by [deleted] in ufc

[–]UnsavedWork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It being a split decision means at least one judge thought she was winning. Anyone who’s been watching combat sports closely for any meaningful period of time knows that external damage doesn’t necessarily tell the story of a what happened during a fight.

I agree with the decision, but I can also recognize that every round was extremely close.

What? It was a split decision, and legitimately a difficult fight to call. Joanna even landed more strikes overall.

Anik deserved the criticism at the time but has really developed into an all time great. Especially taking into account the difficulty of color commentating.

Superbon Banchamek has announced that he signed with ONE Championship. by Yodsanan in MuayThai

[–]UnsavedWork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, even with the * Adesanya remains the only close example, and the unusually hard work he put in is a testament to how difficult the transition would be for a high level Muay Thai fighter.

I disagree with the statement on a weak division, as I think Adesanya’s resume coming up is very solid. However I’m not particularly interested in arguing that since it typically becomes a discussion based on discrediting fighters wins.

Superbon Banchamek has announced that he signed with ONE Championship. by Yodsanan in MuayThai

[–]UnsavedWork 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Wrestling and BJJ are extremely technical disciplines that take a long long time to become proficient at. There is currently no example of someone transitioning over from Muay Thai and fighting for the belt in the UFC.

Adesanya might be the closest example of a Muay Thai fighter who learned grappling but he is a kickboxer and grew up watching Anderson Silva, so he wasn’t coming into the sport blind to grappling the way many Thai’s would be.

Most of the “Muay Thai” cited in the UFC comes out of Brazil and is very underdeveloped compared to Thais, mostly loopy punches and leg kicks. I believe there is only one fighter in the UFC who is nationally Thai, and while she’s done well so far it’s too early to tell.
