They call UFC, WEC, and all that other crap "mixed martial arts" but the only style you see are a bunch of guys on the floor hugging each other. If I wanted to watch that I would've stayed in Turkey. Boxing takes way more skill and is way more physically demanding than MMA hands down. I liked the early UFC but it sucks ass now.
Jiu-Jitsu is neither real nor practical. So you all of you MMA fags please do not try that shit on the street. you could get elbowed to the back of the head, your ear rip apart, your eyes pocked, your knee hyper extended by a kick, your throat ripped apart, your balls bitten off, or kicked on the head by a second dude,,, Again, do not try it on the street.
You are better off having some good striking skills from muay Thai/ tae-kwon-do, Karate, western boxing, Scrima (Filipino), maybe some modified Aikido, and some wrestling-Judo to get them down and get out. (shit it sounds like Russian Sambo).
If you fuckers would try to do an arm bar on me, I would push my thumb into your eyes and rip your fucking balls off. Learn and respect the origins and practicality of each style.
By the way, none of the Gracie’s have been able to defeat any professional grade boxer/kick boxer. Just watch the fight between Wanderlei Silva and Gracie on google video. Silva is a not a professional grade boxer and he fucked Gracie up in 5 seconds. Also look at the UFC so-called-World champs. Why is it that every other month, there is a new champion? Who, besides, Anderson Silva has defended the title on more that 3 occasions? I believe that he has professional grade Muay-Thai skills.
By the way you could teach any idiot to do jiujitsu, but it takes learning at a early age, how to strike in order to do it fast and accurate. Think about this, why was a street fighter like Kimbo Slice able to get trained in MMA and knock the Fuck off someone like tank abbot. Are you going to tell me that tank is a chump? Nope, he is pretty good and very powerful, but not professional grade boxer.
Anyway, I would like to start fighting for cash, how do I get involved, where do I signup. I am willing to get on some backyard brawling for cash.
