UFC Content – Did Aldo Take a Dive?

Why not pick a video with someone scottish in it?

Here you go

Well one of the guys in the Gif can ride a nice blue bike with a bell on it…

in a tournament fought under the rules of each specific art the MMA fighters would get beat

So someone who plays a sport regularly will be better at it than someone who’s never done it? Good point. I would SMASH ALDO TO PIECES if he ever dared step into the badminton quadrangle with me! BRING IT ON!!

Yip, seems pretty obvious to me too. Yet most on here seem to disagree.

ou can’t discount deaths just because they didn’t croak in the octagon.

That’s got nothing to do with the “sample size” argument I was replying to though has it.

There will never be a more appropriate time to post this…

Yeah these UFC fighters are totally one dimensional. The guy who trains TKD on a Wednesday night and works the door at the Slug & Lettuce on a Saturday night would take them out in seconds…

I’d just like to reiterate and elaborate for you because you’re out of your depth and embarrassing yourself and Tae Kwon Do. The keystone arts in MMA for striking are Muay Thai and Boxing, although, as pointed out above most competitors are well versed in multiple styles. You should be aware that MMA striking is generally modified from a base style to suit the needs of MMA. Many UFC fighters are championship level boxers, kickboxers and Thai boxers. Some are TKD black belts but TKD alone won’t take you far in MMA.

Grappling arts in MMA consist of BJJ and Wrestling or Judo. Most competitors will be elite in at least one of these arts. Again you should note the arts are adapted for MMA.

You asserted that students at your local BJJ club would beat elite UFC fighters who you termed brawlers. You should know that the elite BJJ competitors in the UFC are considered some of the very best in the world, most are black belts. BJJ isn’t an olympic sport but most of the top grappling exponents in the UFC are world champions. The Abhu Dhabi Championship is considered the ultimate grappling test and many UFC fighters are ADCC champions. In the wrestling, there are multiple Olympians fighting in the UFC. In Judo, there are multiple Olympians fighting in the UFC.

And whilst these “brawlers” might get out pointed in the sporting dance of a TKD match, MMA is the sport of fighting. They would dominate a TKD player in a fight or MMA bout, in all of the fighting ranges. The WOMEN in the UFC would dominate them in a fight or an MMA bout 😈

HTH.

What does HTH mean 😳

Hope this helps 😀

The only person embarrassing themselves here is you. Do you lack the intelligence to have a discussion without resorting to personal insults?

That’s neither an insult, nor personal it’s just a statement of fact.

Yep, that’s exactly how you’re coming across. Now who’s being personal?

It’s just a picture of a potato…

Is this the new Potato defence?

Sorry again, the UFC/MMA fighters look like they’ve got superb martial arts skill to me but I’m not expert and was only stating from my point of view as a spectator……had I known the furore my simple stupid comment would have made I wouldn’t have given my view based on what I’ve watched, so in the spirit of this time of year MTFU and stop bitching you lot 😆

Is this the new Potato defence?

Potato has a better defence than Aldo.

If it is, I likes it!

I’m not buying it that someone who has been undefeated in 10 years has a glass jaw like that nor would they leave themselves so open with such a rookie defensive error.

I’m not sure what to believe now.

Rearranging these words may help.

Less Wit Clue Half

The Potato Defence.

Brilliant 😆

@wanmankylung Any links to vids of you going at it in the ring, so we know how a superior martial artist defends 🙂

EDIT: By ‘going at it’ I do mean fighting/sparring btw, please please please dont post a vid of you doing the cha cha or even worse……… 😯

The Potato Defence.

Brilliant

There was a guy that wrote anecdotal stories for the Glasgow Herald and they were all published in a book.

One of the stories was about a karate school in Kilmarnock where the instructor was demonstrating a move to the children. He informed them the move would cause their opponent to go down “like a sack of tatties” (potatoes for the sassenachs)

A child in the class raised his hand and asked if “a sack of tatties” was the Japanese name for the move.

wanamakylung – I’m fairly sure that Connor could hold his own with your mates over at your TKD club…

Just check his kicks out…I can’t see that he has any poor technique…sure you’ll point it out to us though…may be worth contacting him too, genuinely he’s like an MMA sponge he loves to learn from experts!

Not sure they would hang with him in a full contact MMA fight mind 😉

Srsly? You think those kicks are good?

I’ll just leave that there then.

well to be fair he can fair beat the shit out of stationary inanimate objects any evidence of him trying that in the octagon?

Is you sparring as intense as that

Junkyard – try to keep up. nwill posted a video of McGregor’s kicks and said that he couldn’t see any with poor technique. The video was entitled “Conor McGregor amazing training leg kicks” I simply posted a video of someone with a TKD background doing something similar as a comparison. You will probably notice but never admit that the TKD guy’s kicks are on a completely different level with regards speed, technique, accuracy, power and ability to cause damage – even at what it clearly half power.

Yeah they are…the guy in your link is good too question, is can he fight, can he apply those techniques in the ultimate unarmed combat competition that is the UFC? A real would situation where an opponent can attack you by almost any means. Most great kickers in the UFC (ie Edson Barboza) come up against adversity when they face an opponent that applies pressure and takes the fight to them often not giving the the time/space to perform their kicks effectively.

Another interesting thing I’ve seen given all you criticism of UFC fighters guards/defence or lack of it is that TKD fighters even at elite level keep there hands/arms low and sustain big blows to the head!?

Also consider that a 4oz glove lives very little room for error not like gloves in many other combat sports, it’s easier to slip punched through a guard with 4oz gloves.

They look beautiful I agree BUT has he tested them in the octagon in a free for all fight? See what happens as above?

The real issue is that you wont admit what everyone else knows it …it just does not work as well as “brawling”

nwill –

You’ve swallowed their marketing hook, line and sinker.

With regards the TKD fighters keeping their hands low and sustaining big blows to the head. They do that because TKD is scored on a points basis. If someone was to have a high guard with both hands they’d get their guard moved about something silly and get picked off with body shot after body shot. You’ve clearly been watching WTF TKD to se that though. look at the non olympic version where punches are more commonly used and you’ll see better guards.

The real issue is that you wont admit what everyone else knows it …it just does not work as well as “brawling”

I’m glad that you’ve finally admitted that it is little more than brawling. There is certainly more martial than there is art…

So to clarify….for someone that has zero knowledge of either……whom would win in a fight UFC dude or TKD Olympian?
