OMFG!! That hook from around 1:53 in the video was DEVASTATING.
Funny because most official or large MMA sanctioning bodies UFC have pretty much softened it down to MMA = standard western kickboxing + limited grappling with open finger gloves. That’s it. Seriously. There’s
– NO elbows
– NO knees
– NO low kicks
– NO open handed thrusts (e.g. thrust to solar plexus)
– NO locking/twisting of joints
etc, etc,
I say “standard western kickboxing” because the first 3 restrictions precludes MMA from using authentic Muay Thai; likewise current MMA prevents fully utilizing techniques in other martial arts like aikido, jujitsu in their full *NON-sport* forms
“There’s

are you serious? do you even watch ufc? the only elbows not allowed is the vertical elbow coming down(from 12 to 6), the only knees not allowed is to the head of a downed opponent, the only low kicks not allowed are kicks to the balls, dunno about open handed thrusts, and there are plenty of armbars/kneebars – hell just last week a guy won by almost twisting the other guy’s elbow out of its socket. do a bit of research before you start bitching like you know jack s♥♥t
UFC was ruined pretty quickly (at least as fighting rather than athletics) by this – from a diversity of fighters and styles fighting realistically to all fighters using the same kickboxing/limited grappling, all in a decade or so.
Oh, God, the bottom of the last 2 pictures is absolutely priceless.
Hes ok if he improved his technique then he wouldnt be as bad. im glad he won the fight though the brazilian seem like he was really serious and he was winning near the end of the second with that flurry he got on him. and i woulda scored it to the brazilian becasue of the end of the second and the beginning of the third until nagashima got his second wind and took the guy in the end of the fight. but i could see a draw as well.
I don’t think anyone here knows how good his opponent was. FYI Andre Dida is effing good. He actually put up a good fight with Buakaw Por Pramuk (good as s♥♥t). Also he is one Mauricio Rua’s trainers. Basically, he isn’t just a “Brazilian Thug”. Of course, I don’t expect anyone here to know that…
Sorry for being late to the party, but I’m with you here. Dida is far from a “thug”.
Here he is almost knocking out Buakaw (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pXaCy2n3Nk) in case anyone still interested.
