  • Great video and fights.

    Mike:

    Katemen (Dot) Com - MMA Blog

    Videos, Pictures and Fighter Interviews

  • I gotta tell you something in Us mma rules are regulated so much it takes the fighters of what its meant to be a fighter Nevada State Athletic Commission rules stated. No one has been seriously injured in Japanese MMA is tough, despite the lack of regulation. Fighters are not pansies, they are tough guys, much tougher then the average person. Give them some credit. They can take punishment and they can fight shortly after KOs. It's their choice.

  • i kind of agree, i mean i like the kicking and stoming poeple when their on the ground but i agree with the no strikes to the back of the head and spine.

  • What difference is a downward leg chop to a downed opponents stomach than a stomp?... same effect isnt it?... youd think it would be even worse with the butt of the heal coming down... but its allowed... oh the irony.

    oh btw, herb dean is a great ref... is that a rolex he wears on his arm?

    oh and cbs blows... :p

  • MMA on broadcast television! Do you realize how big that is for the sport? Its awesome.

  • Shields and Diaz,I love it.

  • i know alot of rules had to come about to make it more a sport for t.v. and so on.

    but man some of the rules take alot of fun out of what should be combat.

  • yeah dude i wish it was like ufc i watched it on ppv since #1 and it used to be sooo much better and entertaining. I loved guys getting the shit beat outt them and now they stop the fights too soon too.

  • I agree. last time is saw something like that was a fight with houston alexander. he went down from a punch with a couple of seconds in the first round but kept his head and hands up from what i remember and the fight was still stopped immediately. as time goes on it's almost like theres no such thing as a real knockout anymore.

  • wow mma fighter behaving liek a dickhead

  • Eff MMA! Click my name or type WHIPDOG for some real action!!

  • Check out FTHFightGear, kickass gear

  • fuckin pussies

  • want to see your kicking speed look at the moran speed tracker video on you tube!!

  • NICEEE!!

  • I cant wait!

  • What you talking about?course mma is like many martial arts, its a mix of everything, stand up-muay tai/karate/taekwondo......grou­ndwork-bjj-judo......takedowns­-wresteling and judo.! mma is the best its awesome, i box and go muay tai gym once a week

  • hell yea this is wut i was born to do i can feel it .just want to give a shout out to every one. love laterz

  • striking with a downward elbow, or to the back of the head/spine would be really useful when someone shoots in... thats an advantage for grapplers... no fair!

  • striking to the back of the head or "rabbit punching" is against the rules in all the combat sports.

  • you can always try the knee when they're shooting in - since they're not technically on the ground yet (or am i wrong? not sure about exact rules there).

  • yes you can :)

  • you can as long as the opponents knee isnt on the ground

  • you can as long as the opponents knee isnt on the ground

  • Calling this thing "Martial Arts" with so many rules is quite a paradox...

    It's another ring sport like boxing, wrestling (real wrestling, not the WWE circus),Taekwondo and Muay Thai...

  • HAHA, your calling Muay Thai a sport???

  • A tough one, but it's still a sport.

    The real thing is Muay Boran.

    In Muay Thai they have rules, protective gloves and weight classes - classic definitions of sports.

    And, as brutal as it may look ,some of the real brutal and deadly tecniques of Muay Boran are not practiced in Muay Thai.

  • MMA is reaching new heights. The fact CBS is broadcasting an MMA event is GINORMOUS!!!

  • fedor vs sylvia ¡¡¡the beast fight ¡¡¡fedor winer ¡¡

    thebigfedor

  • You're a fuckwit. Go against these guys and then you'll know what's real

  • Eat shit and die mother fucker, i was replying to bloodzsjc would said that MMA was fake and TNA was better, i'm a heavy weight MMA fighter mate, dont preach to the fucking choir.

  • /watch?v=HjyTSnazpPI

  • /watch?v=HjyTSnazpPI

  • cOO!

  • many time the winer of MMA fights Bend the rule

  • alot of this stuff they rly dont pay 2 close attention 2 there just trying to convince the main stream that this is not brutal and it rly isnt brutal

  • thats right.

  • ok what the heck are some of you iggnorant soles talking about? mma is going main stream??? uh hasn't it been for the last couple years??? uh yes lol wow and noruego wannabes? far as i see it if you do fight which with that post i hope you do, that's what we once were, haha i mean i know i didn't walk into my gym with the skill and the technique i have now i had a boxing,street brawling,and karate background but i was by no way an mma star i was a wannabe and now i'm on my way to the top

  • This video may have good intentions but it's horrible. I truly hope the production level of the event isn't this embarrassing

  • mma's going maintream. why does everytyhing i love go mainstream?!?!

  • Hmm I never knew the rules before, but knowing it brings up an interesting point; people with weak ground game often gets owned, but in a real fight, if elbowing down to the head is allowded, would you say that goin in for a take down is a lot more dangerous? So the rules gives specializing in striking a disadvantage?

  • Yeah baby. MMA is going mainstream.

  • that was corny

  • gyms are gonna be packed with wannabe mma fighters the next day

  • only an idoit wouldnt know the rules this vid is pointless

  • its bullshit the fights are on as late as they are. hope it gets a 7 oclock time slot or 5

  • Herb's the man.

  • I wonder what CAN they are going to put up against Kimbo Slice?? Oh yeah, I guy that has lost his last 8 fights. Sweet.

  • Why inna fenced cage? Seems over dramatic.

  • when you are wrestling up against the sides of a ring limbs and stuff can get stuck in the ropes, thats why the cage is more handy ^^

  • I don't know if he was asking why one or the other. According to Chuck Norris, there isn't supposed to be ropes or a cage, rather the rings for mano-mano fights in Asia way back then, had the same set up he has for World Combat League. A center with raised circular ends. Makes sense.

  • No kicking or stomping a grounded opponent? Well it depends under which rules you fight.

  • Seriously, but this guy talks as if they're universal rules.

  • nice vid brings clairity of the sport to a non mma audience , bravo

  • These rules make good sense, what mainstream US cable network would otherwise show MMA?

    With no rules you will get "Rio heroes" no network in the US would air that.

  • Is it for gays?

  • american mma sucks, it's ruleset.

  • stomps and soccker kicks will never be allowed in american mma. i think with a little work we could bring in knees on the ground, but stomps and soccer kicks are always going to be seen as too brutal to be allowed in sanctioned bouts.

  • amazng! cant wait!

  • MMA has nothing compare to Muay Thai.

  • MMA is Muay thai + Wrestling + BJJ + whatever else works. So I guess it's alot more than MT. I do love MT though

  • uh.... what? Muay Thai is a discipline of MMA... just as there are some excellent Muay Thai fighters in MMA there is also plenty of Muay Thai fighters that have gotten their asses kicked in MMA...

  • no wonder Fedor Emelianenko doesnt wanna go to america..

    look at the rules and you'll know

  • How come the man on defense can't grab the fence or the ropes? The man on offense is using the fence to his advantage, that should be equaled out by the man on defense being allowed to use it to his advantage.

  • nah cause then they might break their fingers

  • It's also a safety issue. The guy grabbing the fence might get his fingers messed up if they get caught and left behind. Could be very nasty. What the referee should have told us is that you can place your hand and push off the fence, just not grab it.

  • Can't wait. War Colossus!

  • That should shut the people up that claim there aren't any rules.

  • Nice

  • Can someone tell me the name of the begining song

  • wow how the rules have changed...

    bring back the vale tudo

  • How does Val tudo benefit anyone in a legitimate fashion? Hair pulling? Eye gouging? Groin punches? There's no honor in any of that.

  • Yeah, and while we're at it, bring back senator McCain calling to ban it so the sport fails and nobody can watch it, and no fighter can make money in it. Brilliant idea, genius.

  • you should totally be able to knee, kick and stomp a grounded opponent.

  • no..those are cheap shots..this is MMA..not street fighting... there professionals....not street thugs.

  • Knees aren't cheap - they're pretty essential. Soccer kicks and stomps are awesome, but I agree that they don't have much place in a professional combat sport.
