Kyokushin brown belt, 2 years BJJ and amateur boxer here

considering the UFC is entirely weight class based what's your question? The UFC has a really shitty standard of striking overall, so if you taught some jacked meathead here how to throw a punch, he'd be fast enough and strong enough in the first 90 seconds to possibly KO someone who is smaller. The strength won't really do anything desu, it's all technique based in the takedowns, grappling and clinch (which is the only real place you can use your strength).
>>
>>41433755
I've done some kickboxing, I've been in a few fights, and I'm pretty stronk even by /fit/ standards. I seriously doubt I could beat anyone above Lightweight, and that's mostly due to having 50 lbs on these guys. Even then it's unlikely.

Miocic is 6'4 and 240 lbs of slavic rape. He'd merc anyone on /fit/ in under 20 seconds.
>>
>>41433755
yes but I would lose
>>
>>41433776
Must be the manlet division.

Might as well be a pillow fight with the damage they do.
>>
These guys are the definition of functional strength.

Forget about aesthetics, this is what peak performance looks like, it encompasses every aspect of what a person would call /fit/.

Only 2.5 years of kickboxing here. (keep in mind I don't actually listen to my current coach and learn almost everything he teaches beforehand from watching the highest level pros on youtube)

The standard of striking in the UFC actually is pretty fucking low. I could only name a handful of fighters with "great" standup. Barboza, Garbrandt, Wonderboy, maybe Silva before he stepped off the cliff. Before I started training I thought MMA striking was good. But perspective changes things.

Dude, stop pretending. Nobody asks to step outside; 99% of fights go like this:
1. Argument about some shit.
2. Both guys get into each other's face.
3. One of them throws a punch if no one backs down.

If some kid takes his pants off and gets in your face with his fists balled up and you don't see a punch coming you have a sub-90 IQ.

>>41437162

High school has less repercussions meaning more people are more likely to fight on top of the fact teenagers are more impulsive. I'm not arguing EVERY instance of fighting is OK, or that problems should be solved with violence but, that if someone is showing aggressive body language and you can't pick up on it that your a standing punching bag.

Hopefully your stupidity is just bait.

I definitely could. Nobody has the conditioning that I do. I still don't get how the fighters gas after 2 rounds of hopping about. I see holes in every single fighter's game. Like today Junior Dos Santos had no plan. He just ran. He hurt Stipes legs and did nothing with it. He could have easily gone to a jab into left rib shot to fake cross into takedown, gotten full mount and gotten the Ezekiel choke. Stipe hasn't been submitted yet so he couldn't have expected that. But then again, not everybody has the street-fight-smarts like I do. I prefer to use my intelligence on something useful though, like violin music composition or the high arts.

That's the worst troll I've seen in a while. Put some effort into it son.

But to answer OP: no, not a single one of us could beat UFC fighters. I've trained Muay Thai for 8 years and MMA for 3, and guys of that level are simply unhittable. Your strength is irrelevant when all you're hitting is air and getting countered every single shot. You might as well ask if you could hop on a baseball field with the MLB and hit a home run, because you'd be just as worthless there compared to the pros.

It's true tho, aside from a handful of fighters they can't hit for shit. Most of them wouldn't cut it in the amateur junior boxing leagues (although the quality there is often pretty damn good).

The odd ones that don't whomp as much on people and get knock outs are generally the decent strikers.

No. Even in open weight classes and catch weight bouts, the body builder types almost universally got wrecked. Too stiff and time and energy spent strength training takes away from fight training.

They still aren't as pure a striker as DA UNDATAKER, PLAYA

Knockout artists of MMA maybe. Best strikers? Top kek. That was more like K-1.

This. Stipe is a mid tier amateur and first round KO'd every top 5 guy he's laid his hand on.

Mid tier boxers with good take down defence btfo of MMA. See Garabrant and Conor

Pride was a work.
Look at how the top pride guys fared after it shut down, Cro Cop, wanderlei, fedor, all these guys who were supposedly the best got put away by nobodies.
You've got to be stupid to believe that guys like Cro Cop and Fedor were legit

> People that train striking wouldn't make it in boxing

Maybe that's because boxing is fake fighting and UFC is real? When you have to worry about getting taken down you're gonna strike different.

I could beat anyone currently ranked in the UFC.

I can perform suplexes, I can perform a choke slam with little ease, and I'm so quick you'd be out from my stunner within seconds or trying to attack me.

> Striking with the threat of takedowns, low kicks, getting clinched, getting thrown, getting hit on multiple different levels from a wide variety of strikes
> Looks different from boxing where you have to worry about a few different types of punches coming at your head or body only
> LOL HURR THEIR STRIKING SUCKS, WOULDN'T MAKE IT IN BOXING

Mate, only one retarded one here. Of course they don't look like boxers when they throw, boxers fight under heavily specialized conditions and have adapted to those positions only. This is what striking actually looks like to be effective in a real fight, not a boxing match.

Daily reminder that former boxing heavyweight champion of the world (James Tooney) tried MMA, according to you retards he should've been the most accomplished striker in the entire sport. His debut lasted 90 seconds and he didn't get off a single strike.

>only one retarded one here
And its you. Not that guy, but you're mentally handicapped if you think MMA fighters don't objectively have worse striking than boxers.
MMA doesn't pay compared to the number of disciplines you have to learn, and the pool they draw from is a bunch of guys who were too shit in their respective sports (except BJJ because who makes money in BJJ anyway) to compete at the highest levels.

>>41442388

They have worse boxing than boxers. They have better striking.

> and the pool they draw from is a bunch of guys who were too shit in their respective sports

Stay retarded. Daily reminder GSP trains his boxing with Freddie Roach. Daily reminder there's dozens of Olypmic gold wrestlers and judo practitioners in MMA

Put a boxer and a MMA fighter in a striking match, not a boxing match. A fight where the MMA guy can knee, clinch, kick and elbow etc. The MMA will absolutely fuck the boxer up. Their striking is better.

Did they get paid millions? Are they truly the best athletes the world has to offer? No. The best potential grapplers are all in other contact sports. Because it doesn't pay.

Might as well change it to MMA vs Kickboxing or MMA vs Muay Thai then. The nuances of boxing like head movement and hand speed are an integral part of striking as a whole. Having good boxing is extremely important in any standup sport.

> And?

Are you actually retarded?

> Did they get paid millions? Are they truly the best athletes the world has to offer? No.

How do you consistently miss the point so bad

Your argument

> The fighters draw from a pool of bad talent

My counter

> The fighters train with the best boxing coach in the world and are olympic gold medalists (IE, the best in the world at the sport), therefore that's incorrect

You

> Are they truly the best athletes the world has to offer

Nigga wut? It directly refutes your assertion that the talent pool they train from is from guys who were too shit in their respective sports, the talent pool they draw from is from the best guys in their respective sports (K-1 champs, Muay Thai and kickboxing champs, olympic gold medalists etc)

> The best potential grapplers are all in other contact sports.

I want to make sure I understand this argument correctly.

Are you trying to argue that the people who would be the best grapplers in the world if they ever trained it are off playing rugby or somethign because they never trained grappling because when they were like 10 yers old they decided grappling doesn't pay enough and so never learned it at all? But they totally would be the best if they had started learning it 15 years ago? That's fucking retarded.

The best grapplers in the world are in the UFC, period. If you're talking about "potential athletes doing other sports" you might as well argue all the best "potential" athletes from any spot are playing football because that pays the most.

> The nuances of boxing like head movement and hand speed are an integral part of striking as a whole.

Again, you miss the point so hard. Boxing =/= striking.

that only works if you're fighting someone who is untrained and inexperienced
