Have you guys seen Michael Venom Page who fights at Welterweight in Bellator?
If not have a look reminds me of Anderson Silva. In his last fight his opponent threw the towel in as he was getting so frustrated- he was being mocked and couldnāt hit him and was being pieced up gradually
Donāt know how heād get on in the UFC though with the top 10 Welterweights
Watched several fights. Very glitzy. Noticed some of the fighters lack stamina when compared to other combat sports. Actor Danny Treo butchered so many of the fighters names.
Second season of full contact karate, so the promotion is still young, still finding the right rule-set. Entertaining but nothing like MMA or Muay Thai
Now the up-and-coming combat sport that has really grabbed me is bare knuckle boxing. Really enjoy watching these fights.
Resurrecting this thread: I watch all kinds of martial arts, but lately Iāve been fascinated with Lethwei (Burmese Bareknuckle). Itās similar to Muay Thai, except wrapped hands instead of boxing gloves, and headbutts are legal strikes. Just watched the World Lethwei Championship. Awesome.
I used to train at big John McCarthyās ultimate fighting academy in Valencia, CA. I started doing kickboxing and BJJ but am not belted cause I moved a few months after starting there (and I hear they are closed down now). Iād love to get back into it, I just need to do some research of some good training gyms in the Memphis TN area.
Not a martial arts man myself beyond doing judo as a kid a couple of years. But always have been a fan of thai/kick boxing, muy thai, K1, etcetera, always lots of Dutchies involved. Personal anecdote: I lived in the same neighbourhood as Rob Kaman for a couple of years, will never forget seeing and especially hearing him in the street kicking every lamp pole he encountered with his shins. He was a bloody tough guy and thatās a massive understatement. I f you donāt know the guy youāve missed something.
I trained in Shaolin for 18 years (I got my black belt 12years ago). Martial Arts discipline has brought me through my darkest of days, (from a nasty divorce to the death of my sister). I canāt really explain it, but the mental training/focus and the physical beating you take, prepares you for life challenges. I have found myself using this training to help stay off alcohol
Anyone on the site called ātapologyā? Great MMA website, you can do fight picks, and challenge people vs their picks. Ton of info on fighters, ect. All MMA, not just UFC
Yes Iāve been on it- Iām part of a fantasy MMA league where every week out of 10 fights we pick the winner, round and how the fight will be won (KO/TKO, Sub, Decision) - you get a certain number of points for each correct answer. At the end of the season which is 3 months you get winnings
