Fight Science - MMA Part 1

[kecskef6]

ufc is not a sport.... loool. mma is the name mixed martial arts. in ufc of course not just mma styled fighters fight, that's why ufc is. mma is just like kung-fu, karate, JKD, etc. ufc is league or something like that

[ebmasdan92]

didnt know ufc was a sport

[ninjafalcon1]

ufc and mma is all a sport fight in a cage match. read it all on net and there is your proof. I watch ufc or mma fights and all I see is random punches, grappling takedown or few kicks. people are saying ufc and mma is all this or that. But I don't think so because none of ufc or mma fighters never dare to fight out of the cage or ring in a real fight with no rules because they are sport fighters only. mma I see is some style in it but others styles was banned out cause it's deadly use.

[rocker129678]

@ninjafalcon1 apparantly from what you said you have never watched pryde before. In those matches anything goes thats why it was taken off tv n im pretty sure though guys would fight outside of the ring n in fact some of them have.

[ninjafalcon1]

@rocker129678 pride matches wasn't that popular as ufc and mma but it was just exactly the same as ufc/mma matches and bound by rules, too. pride fighters never fought out on the streets but in the cage and the ring when they are train to fight in matches not the outside world like other martial artist from real danger situation. But that doesn't mean pride fighters are weak. All fighters are different and train different as some train for sports matches and the others, train in real life combat

[rocker129678]

@ninjafalcon1 i agree with you but you also cant say all u see is random punches and few kicks. When in fact many fighters use technique in there fights.

[ninjafalcon1]

@rocker129678 I didn't say many fighters just random punches and kicks but most of the ufc and mma fighters does that more as street fighting in the ring or cage even if they learn boxing or kickboxing. Because the fighting techniques when is it use you will see how it was form and strike in contact. Unlike like ufc/mma fighters that just keep on punching random on each other with some kicks.

[Codylun92]

@ninjafalcon1 roger huerta....

[gekalskip]

"UFC is now becoming one of the world's most popular sports" WTF!?!?

UFC IS NOT A SPORT, THE SPORT IS CALLED MMA

[BZero9404]

@gekalskip I was about to say that hahahaha so true man

[zombie766]

this is fucking recorded using a calculator

[kebabrepubliken1]

kick boxing comes from mua thai and boxing and what about tae kwon do thers many fighters in ufc how uses tae kwon do

[seidlej]

5 people are boxing fans.

[topbreaker45]

@seidlej boo jon, ahaha its me kendrick

[seidlej]

@topbreaker45 hey wassup?

[Eman170]

Towards the end, who was the fighter that Tito body slammed?

[eibbor17]

where is shogun ?



[GdowProductions]

My name is Gydo Rutten!! yeah

[themesiasinrs]

2:13 cro cop got kicked in the face i hate the guy who hit him he destroyed cro cops leg

[JahnosSardonis]

@themesiasinrs I think it's Gabriel Gonzaga

[teameymelli1]

rednecks love MMA . they are annoying

[Wonglow]

@teameymelli1 Rednecks like MMA because they can relate to it. We don't shoot people we are pissed at while their back is turned ... we beat the shit out of them instead n make a statement. U don't hear about redneck drive by's where children and bystanders are wounded. When we decide to kill someone ..they die they don't go to the hospital then come out with a rap album , and innocent civilians aren't shot by accident. Turns out growing up with fire arms increases your skill with them.

[jay005man]

UFC is a sport?

[M4RTI4L4RT5]

@jay005man Yeah it is

[ArmorKingRulez]

Rickson Gracie is better than Dean Listers...

[StankiMK]

;/

[tasneefm]

"derived from karate and kung fu, his elbows pound like hammers" oh but not from muay thai of course...

[jaAnarhija]

@tasneefm i agree and a second mistake is from kick boxers they use knee. WTF

[nvrfrgt3]

@jaAnarhija knee has one of the hardest bone, One strike from a knee could be deadly.. Im not a kick boxers though.

[MrMulticamFan]

@nvrfrgt3 i am a kick boxer and a martial artist in vee arnis jitsu and i just wanna say my friend you are very right.

[dendikke3]

does anyone knows what the name of the song is that starts at 2:55 ??

please tell me!

[Lan5in6]

This is a great program, they have no idea about the sports, they know fuck all about science or how its applied in the sport, all they have is a load of state of the art equipment that comes up with figures they would already expect

[Picuxinhoxoco]

UFC a sport ?¿?¿?¿??¿?

Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooL

[vivalasagne9]

Bas Rutten would win over every one of them, MAYBE with the exception of Randy Couture...

[Irond3vil2]

@vivalasagne9 yeah, Randy is a beast, who'd actually win though? anyones guess

[ilovelasange]

@Irond3vil2  ramon dekkers would beat everyone

[MOHH2COD4]

Fuck National Geographic, blocking the next 2 videos in my country.

[Clinterus]

@MOHH2COD4

I know!!! WTF??!

[TheBerserkerHobo]

Elbows strikes derived from Karate and Kung Fu? Seriously?? Right, because 99% of MMA fighters don't use a cookie cutter combination of Muay Thai and BJJ.

[Clinterus]

@TheBerserkerHobo

I'm in a San Shou infuenced MMA environment right now. It takes a lot of influence from the applicable aspects of Dynamic Preying Mantis Kung Fu. So yes, most MMA fighters know Muay Thai and BJJ...maybe some judo and wrestling. But still, some MMA fighters do use Karate and Kung Fu. Look at Machida with his Shotokan Karate influence.

[bf2pownzorz]

1:27 "UFC is now becoming one of the world's most popular sports".

Really? All this extensive research and experimentation with fighters and techniques, and they failed to grasp the most simple concept - UFC is not a god damn sport. Man, I thought only dumbass UFC fanboys couldn't differentiate between the acronyms MMA and UFC..

[lajoscommunism]

why didn´t they invite the greatest mma legend ever? fedor emilianenko??

[shdwmn82]

does anyone know where and how I can purchase this stuff, it's legen .. wait for it .. dary ... please msg me and let me know

[Easyandy100]

Is MMA a separate style or (as the name suggests) a mixture of separate styles? I keep getting some MMA people telling me its a separate style now.

[thirteenfingers]

@Easyandy100 Depends who you ask.

Some people see it purely as a type of competition. Others see it as a system in itself.

I'm inclined to say the latter and with good reason.

If you train in boxing, muay thai and jiu jitsu you may be good at all three individually, but there's something missing.

A boxers and thai boxers (for example) punch differently. You can't deliver a boxer's cross from a thai boxer's stance. Different techniques.

Blending them into one system makes it effective.

[Easyandy100]

@thirteenfingers A good point, well made. It sounds like something that Bruce Lee was talking about. Seamless tranisitions from style to style whilst in combat.

[thirteenfingers]

@Easyandy100 It's similar to Lee's way, tho there are differences. Jeet Kune Do is truly about "anything to win" whereas MMA has, to a degree, developed around competition so things like stamping on a downed opponent and attacks to the groin, eyes and so on aren't practiced.

I think the core of JKD is that fighting styles have inherent weakness so a fighter should have "no style". MMA is similar (again, to a degree).

It's hard to make definite statements about systems as fluid as JKD or MMA.

[Easyandy100]

@thirteenfingers I suppose that MMA is an approach rather than a style like JKD?

[thirteenfingers]

@Easyandy100 I dunno.

JKD has "become" a style in some ways, with schools teaching a definitive JKD, but to my understanding JKD was meant to be an approach with no set form. Quite specifically Lee talked about "no style".

I think that's the similarity.

The difference is that JKD is an approach built around winning a fight without rules whereas MMA is an approach built around winning a fight in a competitions with rules. Minimal rules for sure, but rules none the less.

I'm no expert tho. :D

[Easyandy100]

@thirteenfingers Its just interesting (and sometimes frustrating) talking to people who see MMA as a style. I would have to say I don't. Most MMA practitioners start with a definite style and then elaborate. I suppose it's down to personal opinion though. Good talking to you. Take it easy.

[thirteenfingers]

@Easyandy100 Some start with a style and elaborate, yes, but the only way they will be any good is if they move away from their original style in a big way. A pure wrestler, BJJ player or anything else simply can't survive by just adding in bits from elsewhere. It doesn't work.

On the other hand, there are many who *start* with MMA without any previous in other arts.

I'm not so sure I see it as a style as such. More an approach, again, much like Lee's JKD.

It's been fun. :o)

Keep your guard up.

[senek8078]

@thirteenfingers I pretty much say I started MMA with no previous fighting. Yea, tae kwon when I was a small child but I forgot it all. I like MMA for the mixture of all the different arts, kick-boxing, boxing, bjj, muay thai, wrestling, pankration and etc. A good fighter knows how to work in everything. Its exciting. :D I love it and respect the sport of fighting.

[ikcjjtt]

@thirteenfingers They dont have to move away from their original style is their style fits in the rule set. If they are pure Judo, add some wreslting and striking (muay thai) for example and your good to go. Just add bits ofo ther stuff. Your survival depends on whether you can win or not.

[KJGould]

Fuck National Geographic for blocking this in my country.

[wowstefaniv]

@KJGould i 2nd that >=(

[BenLCOTkdPkFr]

I got pissed when he refered to the ufc as a sport.

really gets to me when people say that

[dungeongrappling]

@BenLCOTkdPkFr Why would you get mad about that?

[BenLCOTkdPkFr]

@dungeongrappling

Because it isn't a sport. It's an organization.

[dungeongrappling]

@BenLCOTkdPkFr yeah realized that after I commented. But that just foes to show you how UFC has become synonymous with MMA. I have been a fan since UFC 1 and help train fighters. I still read MMA for some reason the first time. lol

[1234561234aa]

5:34 haha "from kickboxing he mixes in the knee strike" loooool

[anytingbu]

Ha! Brock lesnar is a more decorated wrestler than Tito ortiz. and Brock is definitely not a legend

[fatdan172501]

@anytingbu not in mma though. tito is

[anytingbu]

@fatdan172501

haha..no tito is not a legend..brock is better than tito.. and brock isnt a legend so there aint no way in hell tito is a legend..legends dont lose half there fights

[fatdan172501]

@anytingbu if you consider how long hes been in the ufc yes he is. skill wise no lol.

[anytingbu]

@fatdan172501

Well 1st of all we're talkin MMA legends. UFC is a brand not a sport. MMA is the sport. And second , If that is how you classify a legend , then a whole lot of shitty fighters are legends too i guess

[fatdan172501]

@anytingbu ya and im saying the ufc venue has been around the longest so people who were champs in that have been around a wile. but i agree he is not good.

[dungeongrappling]

@anytingbu OK...I don't like Tito at all but he is a legend in the sport. He has a huge following. Only one person had successfully defended their title more times than Tito. 6 of his 7 losses have been from belt holders, including Hall of Famers Couture and Liddell and King of Pancrase Frank Shamrock (4 of his 7 losses).

[666AncientEvil666]

lol, the ancient art of GRAPPLING xD

[pcjudosambo]

@666AncientEvil666 it is ancient, a systematic grappling system (similar to today's MMA) was used by the Greeks (especially Spartans) around 2500 years ago. Read more on ancient Greek Pankration where submission holds, wrestling, grappling and some boxing was used. Best part about it, it was a written system where all participants would learn ... systematically!

[666AncientEvil666]

@pcjudosambo No question about it, but the sentence " the ancient art of grappling" was quite funny, because in my country, grappling is a modern hypernym for all wrestling arts, such as jiu jitsu, luta livre etc.

[waqasarqum]

FEDOR RULEZ!!!!!!!!

[Spiderman7670]

trust me i've been slammed like that before if you don't learn how to fall properly you could break your neck.Trust it's not fun taking punishment like that.

[themasterkiller1]

Bas ruttten is the best!

[disturbed1214]

dude, this is fucking sick!!!!!

[chenrenche]

Tito Ortiz is an MMA Legend? I'm afraid the only one who could be considered a legend out of the entire group is Randy Couture (A 5 time UFC champion with titles in two different weight classes)

[xxOMAR313xx]

@chenrenche ummm Bas is a monster too bro

[Gubby007]

@chenrenche Your silly. No lve for Bas; oh well everyone can say what they want.

[s0fw0n]

No Fedor no fun.

[Tykusrocksout]

@s0fw0n Couldn't agree more. Cro Cop wouldn't hurt either ^_^

[gryptoshadow]

nice video , go see my video on my channel and subscribe plz

[lemonnaked]

damn dis is useful

[lenardregencia]

Dean Lister?!?!? whoa, nice name (:

[johniluz2]

they forgot SILVA ^_^

[TsInferno]

@johniluz2 he would just dance the whole show^^

[milkwasabadchoice131]

i love ufc and mma but i hate like i FUCKIN HATE how they punch guys who are out cold on their arse, its so dirty and disgusting. i firmly beleive in showing respect and honour to your opponents, agree?

[nynCS]

@milkwasabadchoice131 Its not there fault its the refs fault, you don't stop till its over unless your willing to take the chances of losing the big paycheck.

[Tykusrocksout]

@milkwasabadchoice131 Fedor Emelianenko, he's a real fighter and sportsman if he realizes someone is knocked out or it tapping out he immediately lets go.

[fatdan172501]

@milkwasabadchoice131 thats because you don't understand how it is to truly fight. when your in there in the cage they do not keep punching the guy because there thinking hey im gunna be a jerk its instinct and if you don't make sure your opponent is finished then you loose or do not gain a belt. same for the street eliminate the threat always and make no apologies.

[milkwasabadchoice131]

@fatdan172501 with the amount of training and preperation professional fights do, im am over 100% sure that they would know when somone is out cold and defenseless. Dont try and say it is instict or heat of the moment. The train to stay calm and fight like a robot, unemotional and controled, maintaining good technique. It is unprofessional and uncalled for to strike a defenseless opponent , In my opinion obviously.

[fatdan172501]

im sorry but your wrong they are composed and technical fighters but when you are attacking someone that is pure animal instinct and when you have some one hurt it is instinct. Ive been in many fist fights and i am a vary composed person i don't swing wildly and quote "BLACK OUT" like tuff guys like to say i think well on my feet and im focused BUT when i get them hurt instinct takes over and even though im using the skill Ive learned. its purely second nature because of doing it so much.

[anytingbu]

@milkwasabadchoice131

maybe youve never actually watched an MMA fight then. by the sound of what you just said.. Because i cant even count how many fights ive seen where the fighter thinks he's finished the opponent off and the ref keeps it going..or even vice versa

[dungeongrappling]

@milkwasabadchoice131 When you drop someone it is instinct to pounce. That is what is trained. Most of the time if the opponent is out cold they check up. If you watch the replays a lot of the time they may throw the punches as follow up, but you will notice that they aim for shoulder because the realize he is out.

If he is stunned you finish the fight. I don't care how hurt you think he is.  It is not over until the ref stops you. You let up and the fight may go on.

[deeflinger]

AVS trial version.......

[R10jeeh]

why can't I view the other ones...

[KChapman333]

BROCK LESNAR!!!!_________

[monsimand]

bas rutten win

[Keith6192]

MMA is pretty much pankration. It was also use by spartans.

[shittyfuck]

damn it i cant watch part 2

[hislipsaremoving]

Not art, it's not sport either.

[TheChokeoutartist]

theyre ATHLETES, theyre training is harder than any other sports, and MMA is a science a sport and a fuckin art

[hislipsaremoving]

Listen to the rage. Go jerk off to your GSP poster, closet case.

[TheChokeoutartist]

@hislipsaremoving fuck you you pansy son of a bitch and when the fuck did gsp come into this? i said nothing about him and you tell me to jerk off to his poster fuck off you fuckin faggit

[TheChokeoutartist]

@hislipsaremoving and hey FUCK George Carlin

[ARandomCanadian]

Go jerk off to George Kastanza

[Vajrayana514]

@hislipsaremoving It's sanctioned by athletic commissions all over the world, it's a sport.

[ARandomCanadian]

It's a sport. Go fuck yourself.

[Caca51m]

the subjects are all grapplers

[theterrible1]

Bas was a striker long before he was a grappler.

[GmoUnit]

shitty sound quality

[MSI91]

somebody forgot to mention that "UFC" is not a sport... it's a promotion.

[rocketfingers67]

dean listers not an mma legend

[bunce101]

@rocketfingers67 neither is tito ortiz

[heyoitzak]

@rocketfingers67 well they needed the best of each branch of mma so id let it slide

[rocketfingers67]

@heyoitzak they did? i thought i only saw them striking, cud be wrong tho havent actually watched this vid in awhile... neways yea im not sayin dean lister sucks i know how good he is on the ground, i'm saying he has terrible standup, making him a jiu jitsu legend, not an mma legend

[heyoitzak]

@heyoitzak yep i agree

[pcjudosambo]

@rocketfingers67 he's not a legend but he does have one of the highest % of submissions to wins ratio. I think out of his 11 wins he won 9 by submissions due to his BJJ and Sambo skills. So yes, he is not a legend but he's up there in submission wins (%).

[rocketfingers67]

@pcjudosambo yea man u c my comment up there where i mentioned dean lister is superman on the ground, I know he has skills on the ground. All I said was to call Dean Lister an MMA legend is a bit silly. Even to call him a BJJ legend is a bit of a stretch.

[andre1442]

@rocketfingers67 more like a grappling legend...

[Clinterus]

@andre1442

agreed.... he was an abu dhabi grappling champ in the absolute weight class. That's DAMN impressive.

[Thedon1981]

@rocketfingers67

But still... legendary BJJ. :)

[ViolentDubRecordings]

@rocketfingers67 Vyacheslev Datsyk is a legend in my eyes :)

[rocketfingers67]

@ViolentDubRecordings Hahaha oh yeah, for sure. Legendary sommersault kicks.

[ViolentDubRecordings]

@rocketfingers67 Yeah man, and his headbutts :)

[davidsitogordo]

I think it was Nationa Geographic

[robofaggot2200]

what channel did this special?

[phoneboy1234]

tito ortiz is definatley not a wizard. hell hes still at hogwarts

[Kirillov]

@phoneboy1234 and youre a fucking kiddo

[cipantapirtenuk]

mma is not art...

its mix of technique of martial art.

but it is not art... its a combination of techniques that makes u win, strong and superior..

its a sport...

it is not an art of self defense.. its just plain technique... no art...

ill prefer muay thai, shaolin kung fu, wing chun, capoiera, ninjutsu, taichi, jiu jitsu, silat, karate and tae kwondo

[cipantapirtenuk]

[muckypup1975]

bas & randy are gods.

[KORCHANOP]

just like muaythai

[ArDz121cZ]

the narrator says that 1 of the fighters use knees from kickboxing this is incorrect he meant to say muaytai kickboxing only uses kicks and punches they dont even teach knees...programes cool though

[TheMiddleastern7]

thats not true...i do kickboxing and we do use the knee

[ArDz121cZ]

plus the knees you learn probly aint as hard as thai knees

[Spiderman7670]

@TheMiddleastern7 that's true.Ive been trained in both,MMAS' harder to do,

[ArDz121cZ]

Kickboxing is often confused with Muay Thai, also known as Thai Boxing. The two sports are similar; however, in Thai Boxing, kicks below the belt are allowed, as are strikes with knees and elbows.

i copyed that from wikipedia and i do muay thai and my kru says the two main diffrences between thai boxers and kick bitches are knees and elbows

[juliustetevano]

@ArDz121cZ Yo You Forgot To Mention The Muay Thai Clinch/Neck Wrestling Also Known As Djab-Ko

[igg789789]

@ArDz121cZ wow man you really needed to call them kick bitches like come on buddy i dont do either but thats just retarded to put them down cause they dont use elbows or knees. Thats like me making fun of girls hockey cause they dont hit like i do in mens hockey. its stupid since they have just as many skills as i would they just dont hit. and since they dont hit it just alters how its played but doesnt make it any less

[albertsamerica]

they should have had Chuck Liddel...

[cyphdrumbum]

or Fedor :D

[wondeguy]

Thanks for posting these videos it's cool
