why was randy's punch only 500lbs of force while bas' was 900lbs of force and some light kung fu guy around 600, karate guy around 800 if i remember right, taekwondo guy 900 and boxing guy almost 1000?

like MIKE TYSON said, "IT'S ALL ABOUT D-Y-N-A-M-I-T-E!" first of all you got to HAVE the talent of striking power.. even without technique, but with inborn striking power.. combined with technique means D-Y-N-A-M-I-T-E!!!!
pro boxers like mike tyson is a killer... thats why they cant be transferred to MMA.. talented pro boxers in fist fighting are ONE PUNCH DEATHWISH IN LIGHTNING SPEED... agree??

disagree... you can keep your distance against a boxer and keep him at bay with leg kicks and when he gets frustrated clinch up with him... even Mike Tyson wasn't immune to getting clinched up. anytime a clinch happens, a grappler is safe and can remain there and work for a takedown

dont say bullshit, everybody can fight in mma if they want. if pro boxers dont try mma is because THEY ARE PRO BOXERS and not PRO MMA FIGHTERS. mma requires more consitioning and technique than boxe. mma figher is better in mma match. boxer is better in boxe match. that's all

weird. Bas' punch was almost 900lbs of force while Couture's was almost 500lbs even though he did boxing in the army. i know bas did kickboxing before, but is his technique that much better? not to mention he's been out of the scene for a while.

Well they do train pretty differntly. Bas is known for his power in his strikes but he isn't afraid to go to the ground even if it's not his favored place. Randy prefers the ground to standing even though he isn't afraid of either. So yes rany has trained boxing but not nearly to the extent of Bas kickingboxing, since Randy is dominately a wrestler. Plus I think Rand is Light heavy weight, Bas is Heavy weight. That may effect it too. Hope this helps you understand.

wikipedia says randy is 15 lb heavier and randy competes in both. bas is a small hw also

ah ok. So if it's not the weight then it's probably the technique and proficency that makes the difference between the two. (assuming the show was being unbiased but thats unlikely)
