Mauricio 'Shogun' Rua & Ninja Ruae - MMA Groundfighting [chute boxe]

[iagobroxado]

Bring back 'em soccer kicks! No to elbows!

[boogynights]

this was the norm in tell the unified rules came in and took them away.

[rafegz]

where i can get that in portuguese without translation

[felo790]

I miss Pride so much...

[APE12A]

we miss those kicks

[usmc1forcerecon]

dirty move... gotta love dirty fighting. MMA is dirty

[d6ud9e]

soccer kick in ya FACE

[ssgtdelosreyes]

I miss the old PrideFC rules.. In Pride, Soccer kicks weren't just allowed...They were encouraged.

[MrRacso9]

This kind of move Is used in real street fights. I mean when is the last time you seen a fight where a guy jumped on top of a downed opponent just to elbow the shit out of him??? lol easier just to soccer kick the mofo!

[KAZZARTT]

This video should be taken down, nowdays it is forbiden and it is embarrassing to have Shogun teaching such a dirty move.

[WanderleiSilvachamp]

@KAZZARTT

It isn't dirty and it was allowed in PRIDE. Takedowns are much riskier with kicks to the head legal and there wouldn't be as many boring decisions in the ufc if it were still legal.

[xBXRxAaron]

@KAZZARTT Suck any Zuffa dick lately bro?

[ssgtdelosreyes]

@KAZZARTT This isn't a dirty move. Shogun used soccer kicks in Pride, and he was known for them while he was in Pride. If you call this dirty, you don't know a damned thing about MMA.

[Nater245689]

@KAZZARTT I've been elbowed in the face from a guy in my half guard and I've been soccer kicked. I can attest, the elbows are more painful and they're very likely to cut you. This will just knock your ass out. I'd rather see MMA with soccer kicks, stomps, and knees from side control than elbows to the head. I'd rather see them both, but if I had to trade one for the other...soccer kicks!!

[GaGiOrlic]

i learn so much

[victorboscaro]

Brasil domina no mma

[AAR2863]

lol they both have like japanese ninja names

[akumaheat]

Unique and fierce;

the SHOGAN

[Dannypage22]

many kick as i can... mmm ill remember that

[dcasanovax]

nice chute vale tudo is awesome :D

[RightWingCon81]

I guess since the soccer kick is illegal, you can easily transition to an uppercut style punch, you have to bend more, but this is an awesome setup.

[votumseparatum1]

I love the soccer kicks and stomps but it's good that they are not allowed in Strikeforce of UFC because they are such "gimmie points." In reality, yeah they are good but in MMA, cheap shots.

[prebirth91]

@votumseparatum1 the reason they're band well one of the reasons they're banned is because of the cage. in a ring you can't get trapped in the corner. but with a cage your head can get pushed into the corner where stomps and soccer kicks become really dangerous

[Moderm101]

hehe soccer kicks are funny...

annoying thing is!

Shogun always falls over whens stomping on ppl.. he stomps then falls over :|

W. Silva stomps over and over again :L

[D26808]

Watch, soon they are gonna regulate elbows... if they don't ban it, they'll force the fighters to wear thin pads to prevent cuts...

[kempobrad]

i hope so actually. it's to easy to get a lucky cut and win...thats great for a real self defense situation where honor doesn't mean a whole lot. but in a sport, how does that prove you're a technically superior athlete?

[D26808]

Yeah... I agree... I would hate to lose to a cut if I'm winning... Thin pads sounds great cuz It won't effect the damage, just the cuts...

[kempobrad]

yeah, the trick will be getting them to stay in place and not interfere with submissions.

[D26808]

Now thats a bit of a problem... hmm.... I like elbows as much as the next guy but lets face it, elbows are for cutting plain and simple... I don't want to see a ban on it, but it will most likely happen.

[kempobrad]

they can be a bludgeon too, which would technically be more of a forearm strike, but it's hard to judge sometimes and you'd end up with just as many cuts if they tried to limit it to the forearm. we'll see what happens.

[Curatalo506]

Because you put yourself into a position to drop a bad ass elbow on a professional athletes face. How is that not technically superior?

Its all about the big W

[kempobrad]

not necessarily. sometimes maybe, other times it's pure luck. or ref stoppage. this to me doesn't mean you're the superior athlete. it means you got lucky. imagine you're winning a fight and your opponent slices your eyelid open with an elbow. does that make him superior to you because you bled more and he got the decision or stoppage?

[tomb700]

which is shogun ??

[nickyjam770]

are u for real?????

[tomb700]

sorry i was being dumb lol

[jojojonjake1]

the Rua brothers would kick your ass with both of there hands tied behind there backs

[loskados]

These guys would kick your ass you little fag.

[Rockmaster2112]

You wish

[SpicyHam]

i wanna fight them

i weight 80 pounds ,but i think i could still beat them ;cause i am made of titanium aluminnolloy

[malditoguey]

though i think elbows are more brutal than kix id rather se a muthafuka get stomped on wanderlei 2 yuki kondo style.

[billamann]

has any body ever learned how mixed martial arts from a dvd???

[menacetohord]

jon bones jones learned most of his moves from DVDS and anderson silva has even learned some moves from movies and dvds' look at thje knockout he did to tony fryklund

[kempobrad]

actually a former UFC heavyweight champ taught himself to grapple with videos. even tanner.

[palchepitbull]

@kempobrad LOL he was middleweight champion and he did no such thing

[kempobrad]

he was also light heavyweight champ ..beating Heath Herring. and they said he originally taught himself how to grapple from videos live on the air during a UFC event. "lol"

[kempobrad]

USWF heavyweight champ. look it up.

[palchepitbull]

light heavyweight champ of what org? not the ufc....and after watching tapes im sure he trained a lot! he was on team quest

[kempobrad]

well of course he trained alot. but if you couldn't learn from tapes none of the great fighters would make them. it's come a long way since the supposedly instructional videos that were actually more of a demo. i'm not saying you can just watch some videos and know what you're doing, but its not so different than a person teaching you

[palchepitbull]

Yeah but you cant grapple a invisable person lol

[kempobrad]

nobody said you can now did they?

[palchepitbull]

No but if the tapes where just as good as training there would be people available to grapple and spar with

[kempobrad]

learning and practicing are two different things. of course you can't grapple a tape. but if you don't have a grappling school near you tapes/dvd's are a great alternative. same could be said about boxing videos, you can learn from them, but its like swimming, until you get in the water you won't know for sure.

[palchepitbull]

I can understand that. I thought you were trying to say that someone can get to the level of ufc with just tapes

[kempobrad]

and lots of practice. the number one thing

[palchepitbull]

yep! Nice talk...

[blanchard22k]

elbows r dumb

[asiannamepete]

u must be crazy.

elbow is one of the best and most dangerous striking moves.

[MasterJoBob]

@asiannamepete

sort of

if you are worried about pain get out of this sport

elbows cut, which is dangerous, but you can eat a lot of them before you get knocked out.

soccer kicks are a weapon against the wrestler that America has unfairly taken away from the stand up fighter.

[IgorL021]

hahaha

[VanMinSooLee]

that is stupid..wannabe..the rua brothers are whoresons theyre the disliked guys in pride they dont have skills they only agressive.this video sucks

[nipols]

thats theyre skill being agressive because they are strikers and that what strikers do you knob.

[rynocerous]

You're retarded.

[lucky7z]

you seen that when he didnt post the back of his neck he stood up. if he starts to stand up, grab the back of the head anyway and lay in a good knee to the face. not sure if thats legal, but hell it would work in a street fight. Most of the time they will fall backwards after a knee strike then you can re- mount (or take side control again).

[damageinc24]

gooooaaalll!

[paradamed]

Too bad we will never see soccer kicks again cause Pride is dead. I hope UFC changes their rules and allow soccer kicks.

[veprman]

Unfortunatly they dont make the rules, the athletic commision does. It sucks but at least the government didnt ban mma entirely. I think M1 is going to be using Pride rules with the addition of elbows to the head.

[rynocerous]

M1 isn't allowing kicks or knees on the ground either.

[veprman]

That sucks. Hopefully DREAMS will have good rules.

[veprman]

That sucks. Hopefully DREAMS will have good rules.

[PeteM80]

gay brothers.

[sh0cktim3]

Shogun uses the soccer kicks alot!!! but now he's in the UFC and can't do that right? damn thats gonna throw his game of a little.

[elveterano]

UFC need to change elbows for soccer kicks

[DizzyDice777]

I don't like soccer kicks and stomps to the head. Elbows are cooler.

[Zaroaster0]

The elbows are retarded, fights get stopped all the time cause an elbow opens a stupid cut.

[Lovegear]

I think they should just allow knees on the ground, and then it's good enough. Soccer kicks are just too dangerous to get allowed in any sport who wants to get bigger and recognized properly in the whole world.. exept if you are kicking balls :P

[elveterano]

Jejejejej agreed

[Zaroaster0]

The soccer kicks and stomps were fine enough and made fighters think twice before taking things to the ground, the kicks never gave lasting damage unlike elbows opening cuts. The Pride rules didn't let barely decent wrestlers get such easy takedowns.

[rynocerous]

The Pride rules also prevented all that stalling on the ground, because there wasn't really a safe position to stall in. A North south position for example just turns into a stalemate most of the time now, whereas it would have been game over for the dude on the bottom.

[teletiger7]

That move is sooo brutal when executed properly.

[Ateisto]

crocop do this to :) thanks for sharing

[crazyhits]

i love this move but we can't use it here in north america....

[Robopencil]

Maybe we'll see him taking the back?

[manoks]

ive seen shogun use that numerous times.excellent technique for vale tudo but what is he going to do in that situation in the ufc?

[ThaSuper1]

Google me....ThaSuper1

[swordpunisher]

Rua brothers are the best.

[Ericthebest]

nice video

[TimSilvia]

im in love with this move

[PrideFCBaby]

Pretty good stuff.

[TimSilvia]

yeah definitely

[sxxxxv]

For sure
