I did some boxing.. when a guy start throwing punches with less power than my grand-mother could throw, that's a sure sign that the guy is exhausted... and the only reason he was still beating the crap out of the other guy is because the other was equaly exhausted... But you are free have fantasies..


wow, those are powerful arguments Case closed I guess


Oh.. and if Tank Abbot could beat some of the best MMA fighters.. A top boxer could do even better with a bit of training.... As far as I know, bjj guys also do some boxing training? I never implied that a boxer should just be thrown in a fight with a MMA fighter without proper training...

The debate here were striker agaisnt grapplers .. A boxer with some basic MMA training is still a striker...

EdgeXXX

It is indeed a great line, it goes so well in so many different occasions

lol yeah i caught that too, hilarious..

Sorry bro, but doing some boxing does not make you an expert in fighting that you just watched in that clip.

The grappler wanted to keep on going, the striker quit. Plain and simple. Of course, he was about to get choked the fuck out.



Please be so kind to post the TOP MMA guys that Tank beat. Thanks.

Last fight I watched him get his ass OMO PLATA'd (Shoulder Lock) and his ankle broken. He also didn't connect once, and limped out like a little girl.

Frank Mir Vs Tank Abbot.

The guy was throwing weak punches from the beginning, he's a runt. You are completely clueless as to what you are talking about and I hope you run into someone skilled with BJJ one day so he can show you first hand. Really no other way to get it through someones thick skull, especially when they made sport of getting punched in the face 300 times for one fight.

Have you ever seen Gracie fight? The guy hardly ever looks like he's hurting someone yet he wins, and wins, and wins. You do know that's not all luck right? You do know they do train them to defend against MMA fighters right? You do know they can't defend against someone that fights much smarter than them without dedicated insane amounts of time to it right? Nah you don't, you said a few weeks of training would counter someone skilled.

Anthony

Well.. I thought he was a bit better.. just like you thought your boxer in the first UFC was better...

But lets be clear here... in term of boxing/striking abilities... Tank is a punk, a clown.. on a similar level as Butterbean... and just cannot be compared with the best boxers.. But it can give you an idea... that if a 4th rate boxer like Tank Abbot can last 8 minutes agaisnt Pedro Rizzo or 18 minutes agaisnt Dan Savern, than maybe a Floyd Mayweather can beat the shit out of a guy his own size 4 times out of 5...

We can argue for hours repeating the same things.. so lets agree to disagree...

Anthony

Bro,

Pedro Rizzo is a Muay Thai fighter, not a grappler.

Back then, you were one or the other. Nowadays, they all train the same. MMA.

Wow Gracie is such a pussy, did you see how exhausted he was? I could tell because he was barely hitting the guy.

Anthony

Ahh, another brother! Shamrock has been talking so much mad shit over the years about this fight, I hope it happens soon!

__________________

xxxdesign-net

I forgot to add 18 minutes against Dan Savern..

Anthony

It shows you aren't a fan of the sport.

it lasted 18 minutes because Dan Severn didn't want to end it fast and wanted to punish Abbot.

It was very one sided, and Tank got the shit beat out of him.

At the interview after the fight, Severn admitted to letting it drag on to show that tank ain't shit.

Lets take a look at the current champions from UFC and Pride and their strengths...

Pride HW: Fedor (Combat Sambo)
Pride MW: Silva (Muy Thai, some BJJ)
Pride WW: Henderson (wrestling, boxing)
Pride LW: Gomi (submission grappling, muy thai)
UFC HW: Arlovski (Sambo and boxing)
UFC LHW: Liddell (TKD, Muy Thai, wrestling)
UFC MW: Franklin (wrestling, muy thai)
UFC WW: Hughes (wrestling)

Where's the BJJ guys??

__________________

High Plains Drifter

And lets take a look at whether they are primarily a striker or grappler...

Pride HW: Fedor (equally both)
Pride MW: Silva (striker)
Pride WW: Henderson (both)
Pride LW: Gomi (used to be more of a grappler, now primarily a striker)
UFC HW: Arlovski (striker w/ strong grappling skills)
UFC LHW: Liddell (striker)
UFC MW: Franklin (striker)
UFC WW: Hughes (grappler)

__________________

Anthony

You are on CRACK.

Sambo is grappling.

Silva is a BJJ Black Belt

Henderson trains with BJJ Coaches

Gomi is submission grappling, BJJ without GI is submission grappling.

Liddell is a purple belt in BJJ

Arlovski trainsi in BJJ and holds around blue belt last i heard.

Franklin trains BJJ, he trains with Jeremy Horn

I'm like losing it here, are all the detractors MORONS?! Everyone trains in BJJ/Submission, because it works. THAT'S WHY IT IS CALLED MIXED MARTIAL ARTS

For a minuted there I was expecting someone to ring a bell. Was that supposed ot be organized fighting?? If so then therre are rules. If not, there are no rules, and it is a free for all.

High Plains Drifter

Do you know what the word "primarily" means?

__________________

High Plains Drifter

Grappling is one part of Combat Sambo.

Most people believe he didn't deserve it.

So does Crocop. Doesn't mean that's his primary weapon.

Thanks for the newsflash. Gomi rarely uses grappling in his matches anymore.

Liddell hates going to the ground and tries to get up as soon as possible.

He still is primarily a striker.

Nobody said he didn't. He's still primarily a striker.

End of story.

Nice try, though.

Not.

No logic whatsover in that.

Takedowns technique = Fighting System

Seriously, what have you been smoking?

BJJ has empirical data that shows that it wins fights. UFC 1 to 3 should be enough.

__________________

High Plains Drifter

UFC 1 through 3 was over a decade ago when people didn't know how to defend against BJJ.

BJJ/grappling is a large part of MMA. I will never dispute that. However a thread called "grapplers beat strikers 9 out 10 times" is misleading at best.

__________________

Anthony

You are using MMA fighters as an example, which is stupid. They are no longer strikers, they are MIXED MARTIAL ARTS FIGHTERS. Get it in your head, the game has changed in 10 years, to what it is now. Stop being a moron.

Grapplers will beat Strikers 9 out 10, I say again, empirical data UFC 1 to 3. Empirical data cannot be disregarded whether it is 5 minutes old, or 100 years old.

Jesus, where did you learn how to debate? K-mart?

The best conditioning, strength and skills win fights. For instance, do you think a webmaster 60 pounds overweight with 3 years of BJJ would be a good match for a golden gloves light heavyweight in prime condition? Do you think our BJJ man would win 9/10 fights?

How about a striker with wrestling background and some BJJ training?. Is he going to lose 9/10 fights to pure BJJ everytime all the time?

BJJ sure seems to be a key component, but it's kind of ignorant to run around making blanket statements.

I wonder, can some of you experts, like PEI boy please post your professional records? Let me guess: 0 and 0?

Royce Gracie had many Vale Tudo matches prior to UFC and was at that point a MMA fighter. In your own words, "your example is stupid."

Not stupid at all.

Next argument.

Anthony

Depends, 3 years of BJJ current? Or past history BJJ? You are now building up a strawman arguement. My original and even current arguments have been professional. I'm being called on the carpet about it now by Skinnywussy.

There are too many variables to consider on a non professional fight to give a valid answer. When dealing with non professional fighters, don't worry about the fighting style, worry about the fighter. As fights at clubs, bars, etc. one won't have the foreknowledge of what they are up against.

I'd kick your ass for sure though, cause BJJ WINS!!!

Incorrect. Vale Tudo means no rules fighting. I believe that no rules fighting was around just a little bit longer than BJJ.

Oh btw, I'm not a professional.

Aikido, Goju, MT, Judo, GJJ/BJJ. Due to injuries, lately I've been training my right and left pointer fingers, on my FN FiveSeven

The problem with this fight was they were what, 80lbs? there are numerous striking methods that would literally decimate someone with one hit, one of the most simple is a 45/ degree anle hit to the tip of the mandible at full force, this will dislocate your jaw and knock you the fuck out, when you manage to come to you will have the wonderful taste of blood dripping down your throat and be in extreme pain.(and I hear sucking food through a tube is no fun) Also, a suto at full force to the side of your kneck where your corotid artery is, will cause hemmoraging and probably death. BJJ is a good method for incorporating into others like Da zhimmenge, guazo gonji, and san soo kung fu, but I would not use it exclusively as a self defense method.

High Plains Drifter

Then you admit that Royce Gracie was a trained vale tudo (MMA) fighter prior to the UFC?

__________________

Anthony

BJJ at the time, was MMA. It had kicks, punches, takedowns, and ground fighting.

MMA as it is now, has only been this way in the past 5 years. What Royce was then, was not MMA, it was GJJ or BJJ as it is known more as now.

__________________

Anthony

Yeah. Okay.

Thanks.

Do you understand the training method, "Aliveness".

When you can pull that move you just posted, in an "alive" manner, then it's a worthy technique.

Let me also give you another term "Adrenal Dump". When you adrenal dump happens, your fine motor skills go out the window, doesn't matter how many years you have trained a movement. Your mandible breaking skills go out the window, in short.

Now, put those two together, and you have MMA.

Thanks.
