THANK YOU! I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY PERSON WHO SAW THAT SHIT! IS HE SERIOUS??fanboy-ism at its finest!
outlaw your post couldn't be more on point. if you take someone and train them at one sport and ONE SPORT ONLY, they will be far more superior in that ONE SPORT than someone who dabbles in it from time to time. true, toney got his ass handed to him by randy, but put them gloves on in a squared circle and see what happens. i bet you randy will get his ass MURDERED!
(and to be honest, it would have been cool if toney had worked that into his contract somehow. i step in the octagon fighting under your rules, you step in the ring and fight under mine.)
i'm a fight fan. i watch everything, k-1, dream, strikeforce, boxing, EVERYTHING. I have friends who are professional fighters, 7th dan black belts in taekwondo, hapkido, boxers, muy thai kick boxers, etc. and they all will tell you the importance of striking! a superior striker will beat a superior grappler more times than not if, and that's a BIG IF, the fight stays on two feet then. if that boxer gets taken down or his scramble ain't on point, then he's in for a long night. it seems with proper training you could learn to defend a takedown, how to scramble and not give up your back, arm, leg, etc....but years and YEARS of focus on solely throwing hands, placing punches accurately, proper technique and throwing punches CORRECTLY (which a LOT of MMA fighters DO NOT do) can not be taught in a matter of weeks and can not be taught when you are steady being crammed with other things that have to be learned as well.
i respect BOTH sports and imho neither is superior to the other, point blank period.
We train our standup(and not just boxing). Striking isn't just boxing. Boxing doesn't account for legs. You see that leg kick that did Brock in? Those fucking knees? How about knees in the clinch? Teeps? Leg kicks? Striking is part of MMA. Boxing is one part of learning striking.
Really?
Who wins Bones Jones vs A. Silva
any links Funk for 141 I miss some fights...
also you have Masvidal Vs Melendez?
thx
last Brock was such a joke
Brock never comitting to that single leg really bothered me...that was his only shot I'm still wondering why he didn't push to take Reem down....he was no threat standing...then he made the worst decision fighting off the cage against a K1 champ
the best thing Brock did was bring in more fans...I'm not mad at that...but damn Rogan "Baddest Man On The Planet"?
too much Hype IMO...
will Lashley fight again?
...Remm better address these rumors...
