>>8035 The jab in MMA is probably the most underutilized tool. 3 or 4 good jabs have the ability to completely destroy the face of the opponent while also being the safest punch to throw. The Aldo and Pereira fight tonight proved that, as did Moicano vs Benoit last week. Same with front kicks to the body, which are popular in Muay Thai and a stabbing kick in Karate/J-Kick. All I practice are 123 and front kicks. Probably the most bang for your buck techniques imo.

>>8036 Also Aldo clearly won according to the judging criteria. Out struck Mario in 2 and 3, clinch control is nowhere near as important as damage and strikes landed.

>>8024 Another Pereira fight.

>>8024 Do post some exercises/simple moves that people can do at home.

>>8054 I've been mulling this over and came up with three things you should practice for a street fight. Firstly, warm up. Flexibility is key to any training and you don't want to injure yourself. 15 minutes of stretching is enough to keep you limber and injury free as well as prepare you mentally for training. I have tight hamstrings and shoulders from not taking this seriously. 1 - Cardio. Running daily is essential as cardio is king when it comes to fighting. If you can outlast your opponent you will always have a path to victory. 2 - Defense. Practice tucking your chin and implementing a highguard. You'll want to catch punches on your forearms and elbows while protecting the most important part of your body - the jaw. Press your chin to your collarbone and bite done hard. Shrug your shoulders and put your fists just behind your temples so that your arms are bent and your elbows are pointing forwards. Bend your torso slightly. In this position it will be extremely difficult to land a clean punch. This very basic defense but will keep you safe from punches, kicks or elbows. It's vulnerable to knees, uppercuts and takedowns, but most punches in a street fight will be wild swings, with this guard protects against fairly well. 3 - Straight punches. Practice throwing a 1 - 2. Straight punches will always beat looping punches, and the right straight is one of the nastiest punches you can land to someone's chin. The jab is the "safest" punch you can throw and without gloves is capable of inflicting nasty damage. It should be aimed around the eyes of the opponent. https://youtu.be/6-H5LTPUIPg?si=P-io4Lgl6kA7JW2Z There's a lot more to learn but these are the basics I would teach to most people if they were to fight in say three weeks. Other people can offer input, but I believe that these three will offer the most value for time invested and cover both offense and defense. If you were looking to expand your routine I suggest adding in ab and neck work. Any amount of either is good, I notice that I'm able to eat many more body shots after only a few sets of abs per day. Technique matters so be mindful of aches and pains, make sure each rep is controlled. Neck training is more difficult. I usually just do max reps neck curls with my head hanging of my bed. Front, back then each side round robin. Another two techniques that are especially good in street fights that you might consider adding - Leg kicks - no on knows how to defend these and landing three good ones will end a fight 9/10 times. They are incredibly painful and destroy your opponents ability to move. Body shots - similarly painful and sap your opponents cardio. A good jab or straight right to the body is incredibly unpleasant. I advocate them heartily as I've been on the receiving end of them and can personally attest to their effectiveness. Land a right to the solar plexus will calm most people down. Books to read - Jack Dempseys Championship Fighting Explosive Punching and Aggressive Defense is a great book with exercises to do at home and the intention of teaching self defense. It's great to have and still valid some 80 years later.

>>8056 ignore spelling mistakes, guess I am still very tired.

>>8056 >three things you should practice for a street fight. 1) running 2) running on the treadmill 3) see 1 and 2

>>8064 Every fight I've been in has never occurred in an area where I could just run. >a stairwell >a crowded store >while with a friend, or while with my girlfriend at the time People who want to hurt you aren't retarded, they will corner you, or if you are with a loved one who won't be able to run. Obviously this is preparation for scenarios where you can't just run.

>>8065 I learnt martial arts growing up. Got into so many fights, I cannot even recall it. Training is very useful and naturally body weight too. But the most important thing is, - You should be willing to get injured to some extent - You should be willing to hurt the other person Most people don't have it in them to hurt someone else. They can threaten or even bully someone physically. But to properly hurt someone takes training or psychopathy. Having a weapon on you always is a very Aryan trait. It is good to have some basic training with this weapon too. Be it a pocket knief, stick, tasted, knuckles whatever. Nice training tips. I am partial to practicing kicks myself for a different reason. But in practice all this is tough with responsibilities.

Cardio is so important. Just saw a video of a trained guy gassing out completely in just over three minutes, which fits with my experience. The ability to stay fresh longer than your opponent is so critical. I suspect it also affects the ability to take a punch, the oxygen flow to the brain and level of mental awareness to see a strike coming.

Good fight aswell.

Robbery in Saudi Arabia, another good jabbing performance in the UFC tonight, Park vs Tavares.

https://youtu.be/S51c77Jt1AM?si=O0e1LYDjfQmhF0cu One of the greatest fights in boxing ever.

I only watch fights to see men get their shit wrecked. I support whichever side is more handsome and young.

Series of lame fights in the UFC and Kickboxing is fairly quiet except Glory which I don't care about. https://youtu.be/yHSOq5uptLs?si=Kq5uowMnd11ZzKY-

Fury has put on too much weight to attempt to out wrestly Usyk when the problem was a technical, not weight, issue. Usyk will be able to outlast and beat Fury, I suspect by late round KO. Fury won't have the cardio in the later rounds and won't be able to see or recover from big shots as his gas tank drains. I don't think Usyk is going to get hurt by Fury who doesn't have pop, especially after surviving some genuine hard hitters. Fury's jab, his money punch, will look slow and labored. He won't be able to outpoint. I also think he was surprised at Usyks power during the first fight. Fury will be a lame duck, unable to evade, throw in volume, or keep up in the later rounds. Should be a good fight, however.
