UFC Content – Did Aldo Take a Dive?

Can I point out that as a quite practiced martial artist (TKD ITF Black Belt, Kick boxing Black belt, BJJ pussy) I wouldn’t stand a bloody chance.

If you do really believe this you are completely deluded and I assume, about 12. How many full contact fights have you, or anyone at your clubs had in the last year? It’s a completely different thing to any kind of ‘points’ sparring.

I thought there was a GB team not a scottish team at the last world champs (Italy) anyway?

How many full contact fights have you, or anyone at your clubs had in the last year?

So you practice a lot of full contact at your TKD clubs? Some lads you lot are!
Yes. Lots. Why does this come as a surprise?

He’s already answered that question!

Yeah, I had my jaw broken by one once.

Won the fight though as the guy got broken ribs with the counter. Nice spar that was.

So basically you and your mates turn up and just kick seven bells of shit out of each other?

How do you get any training done when you are breaking each others jaws when sparring?

He really hasn’t. There’s a lot of difference between uncontrolled sparring and a proper fight against a pro or even semi pro opponent.
Certainly the best TKD / Kick boxing fighter at my clubs was knocked out the weekend before for a UK title fight (he already held a couple of belts). I’d put money on him being better than most of your club as he was actually selected for the Great Britain team at the recent ITF world champs.

Also, in the picture, #4, Mirco Cro Cop. If you think he hasn’t got a kick, then you really, really don’t have a clue.

Holy shit, this thread went from 0-60 while I was away!

Whilst I don’t want to feed the troll I can’t resist pointing out to Wanmanylung that the UFC ranks are coming down with Olympians and world champions in virtually every combatitive art. To say nothing of the K1 kickboxers and Pancrase champions or the Abhu Dabi champions and Metamoris champions.

Perhaps he should ask the guys at his local BJJ club what they think of Nick Diaz or Damian Maia, Jacare, or Fabrico Werdum or Rousimar Palhares or the Nogeuiras.

Even then, it’s all moot. It’s all well and good being able to pull of a perfect gogoplata or flying arm bar but trying doing while you’re getting punched or elbowed in the face, covered in sweat and blood with no gi. Same thing for all the TKD kicking techniques which “might” work if you’re willing to accept the risk of getting taken down and beaten to a bloody pulp.

This kind of nonsense makes me nostalgic for the Youtube comments of 10 years ago.

BJJ = blow job & jerk club?? 😉

I thought there was a GB team not a scottish team at the last world champs (Italy) anyway?

There was a GB team at the world champs in Italy. There was also a Scottish team. The Scottish team beat the GB team to become world champions.

Wanmankylung at work

The question is, will we see the Edinburgh Defence?

If only Surfmat could join in on this display of AWESOMZ 😆

I feel responsible by my over exaggerated description of ‘superb martial arts’……. I only learnt and used regularly Ikaedo moves and could only subdue an angry local boxer/brawler or maybe the opposition prop in a fist fight 😆 so forgive me I know sweet f a…… 😆

I see the new Surfmatt has arrived…..

No – I’m not awesome, I just know that UFC and superb martial arts aren’t too closely aquainted.

I stand corrected, my club mate was in the England team, not the GB team.
Results are bloody hard to find, but I think Scotland won the under 50kg female sparring? If so, that must be the one who broke your jaw…

UFC is about fighting and winning fights.
Whether they can perform “beautifully” is somewhat irrelevant as the point of them all is to win fights.
Still you can look stylish as you get your arse handed to you on a plate by a “brawler” 🙄

UFC has shown one cannot only use one art and win unless you mean BJJ and even there they still have to do other stuff adequate;y.

Ah, now that almost makes sense. You are 100% right, only I think it’s for the opposite reason to the one you’re claiming

Edit – not you junkey, I was talking to our resident Bruce Flea

I know where ****’s at

I’m pretty awesome too – I know a couple of moves that are impossible to defend (I once won a tournament with broken ribs and and knee that had been stamped in an earlier round. Single kick 8) ).

I’d take up UFC and beat those bitches down but I just don’t have the time TBH.

… and I guess I’d have to lay off smoking crack.

You could no more win a fight using ‘beautiful ‘ martial arts as go to war brandishing a sword. The ancient arts have their place and have helped in the development of modern fighting techniques but they are just too regimented to be effective. This is why MMA has developed and also modern techniques like krav maga. TKD is possibly one of the lamest of all the martial arts. My son gave it up aged 14 because it was unrealistic.

Anyone who spends most of their spare time on a MTB forum and thinks they could take out Anderson Silva is a knob.

if only there was some sort of competition where we could work out which was the best martial art.

Lol. If only Aldo had perfected ‘the crane’.
Good trolling btw.

I stand corrected, my club mate was in the England team, not the GB team.

Results are indeed bloody hard to find. Good job the national team coach is the person who runs our club.

I saw a documentary about that, some bloke nicknamed the muscles from Brussels won it.

You’re mistaken. What you saw was a dramitization based on actual events. The muscles from Brussels was an actor. In real life the event was won by an undercover CIA Ninja called Frank Dux. He was an American citizen but was born and raised in Belgium till the age of seven, hence his Belgian accent. He was an expert in a secret form of Ninjutsu too deadly for the ring which he learned from Shidoshi Senzo Tanaka. So the answer to the question of “which martial art is most deadly” is obviously Tanaka Ryu Ninjutsu. But it’s obviously too deadly for the UFC.

Results are bloody hard to find

Well according to the ITF scotland website, a junior female was the only medal (silver)

World Championships Results

You’re quite right wrecker, one silver. Clearly world champions….

Wanman – if you mean Master Wallace, I’ll have a chat with him as it sounds like his club is breeding something totally against TKD. If it’s one of his other coaching team, I’m sure he’ll pass on my concerns.

Silly UFC fighters. When will they learn.

Different world championships. The ones in Roana…

ITF teams get beaten most of the time by TAGB teams.

See those Gifs – where’s the defence? It’s easy to knock someone out if their hands are down. UFC is gash when it comes to decent fights. Horses for courses I suppose. I’ll not be watching it again.

That Uriah Hall KO is one of my all time favs ^

Outstanding 😆

Athletes at the very pinnacle of their sport getting tips and pointers from an absolute tragedy of an Internet forum know it all.

God bless the internet

ITF is the style, TAGB is an organisation teaching ITF style. Strangely, on the TAGB website, they link the same ITF championships in Italy.

You really are a bit of a muppet.

So they had the same world championships in two different places on different dates did they? That’s clever.

For someone who is a black belt in TKD you seem to be forgetting the first tenent…

Wouldn’t stand a chance against these chaps eh?

I googled taekwondo. I’m not convinced to be honest.

Why not pick a video with someone scottish in it?

Or one of my personal favourites

Because, apparently, it doesn’t make it any more entertaining 😀
What were you saying about low/non existent guards?

can you highlight the good bits? i must have missed them.

dont get me wrong, the aldo mcgregor fight was awful, pr disaster for UFC IMO.

but ive tried to watch your favourite examples of superb martial arts and its dull as ditchwater.

reminds me of the two tkd guys who came to the dojo, one to a JuiJitsu class the other to a kickboxing/mma session, neither could handle anything when it got tight. its a pretty good aerobic workout i guess

They do a lot of running away

dont have to run far cos the teacher blows a whistle when one of them dont like it

Quite the opposite. Conor Mcgregor is the biggest star they have by a country mile. A loss would have derailed his hype train. This just adds to his status and hypes whatever he does next, most likely a move to lightweight to fight the winner of Cerrone Dos Anjos this Saturday.

You won’t be missing much since you’ve clearly never watched it before either 😆

jam bo – can you highlight your good bits because I’ve missed them too.
