Mixed Martial Arts

Well, yeah it's brutal. but these guys are amateurs. Nothing compared to the professionals really.

[hardtohandle]

Yeah, they are just amateurs. But its not about amateurs or professionals, the fact that that guy (Simmler) was knocked cold and could not remember anything that happened to him is just as serious as someone being hit by a car (remember what happened to the daughter of former Pres. Fidel Ramos).

Yeah, you are right. But I think something like this happened to boxing already.

^ isnt it defunct already?

 

^ well, the partnership with Monte Cox & M-1 is defunct, but Cox renamed it Adrenaline MMA. it's basically M-1 minus Fedor and company. they did sign Sylvia, and Ben Rothwell & Eddie Alvarez. all 3 guys signed non-exclusive contracts, and the proposed (it hasn't really been confirmed by both parties) Fedor - Sylvia fight will be promoted by Affliction (no word if they'll still be partnering with Golden Boy) and HDNet Fights.

 

oh, & Fedor will murder Sylvia. no doubt.

Actually, there are more recorded deaths in boxing than in MMA (wala pa nga yatang namamatay sa MMA, sa pagkakaalam ko), but because the sports utilizes every imaginable body parts that can really inflict serious danger, not to mention the minimally-padded gloves, mas nakakatakot talaga ang MMA. Take the case of the one in the video, kung sa boxing yun, wala ng sumunod pang tatlong blows to the head yun... Yan din yung pinagtatalunan namin nung trainer ko sa boxing, na kung mas delikado ang MMA compared to boxing, bakit mas maraming namamatay sa boxing kesa sa MMA...

Vera f#&ked up his thumb in training. I'm not convinced that his camp isn't buying time. He is over rated.

 

Vasquez has been hit so many times in the head over the years that his brain was scarred heavily. He went out like a gladiator.

 

Larry, where do you train bro? Let's mix it up some time.

actually saw something like this when i watched a boxing match in SM southmall by elorde. i think it was march 2007. the big guy dominated the fight from the start. But during the last 10 seconds, the little guy suddenly burst out into a flurry of body punches and caught the other guy on the ropes. The big guy was caught with a hook to the jaw, and was sleeping against the ropes until the referee stopped the fight. I remember him asking his cornerman "ano nangyari?" at the dressing room.

in mma, you can lose without getting hit. in boxing, you have to get hit (a lot, most of the time. often in the head) in order to lose. in mma, the risks include facial fractures, lacerations, oxygen deprivation, hyper extended joints, and broken bones among others. in boxing, aside from the occasional rib and hand fractures, the risk is almost exclusively brain damage. mma gloves are thin, and has minimal protection for the face from swelling and the skin from breaking when it hits. boxing gloves are designed to protect the face of the opponent, but not the brain. the face can take more hits from boxing gloves than from mma gloves. the more the face gets hit, the more the brain shakes, the greater the risk of brain damage. (boxers with more than 20 fights have shown a significant amount of brain damage). few people die from cuts and twisted/hyperextended joints and broken bones. but shake the brain enough, and it can be fatal.

anyways what's with the tim sylvia hate? i believe he'd be a real test to fedor, since fedor has been fighting cans for quite some time. c'mon guys, timmy boy ktfo ricco suave when ricco was at his prime. i believe if fedor tries to throw bombs with tim fedor will lose, but if fedor cliches on tim, tim can't have his way it'll be fedor by armbar whenever that happens.

^ i believe, after Frank Mir broke Tim's arm Tim started to become too tentative. although he had 4 wins via stoppages after the Mir fight (KO over Arlovski & a scary KO over Telligman), the rest of the way he maintained a plodding pace, content on keeping it on the feet and just jabbing and leaning his way to the UD victory. he even wasn't able to finish midcarder Assuerio Silva. if he maintained that nastiness he had when he fought Ricco & Gan McGee even after breaking his arm then maybe the hate wouldn't be there that much.
