||LastManStanding|| Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 What do you guys think makes for the most effective MMA fighter? Personally I think around 60% wrestling and 40% anything else is best. Wrestling just seems the most dominant style in MMA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_Wesley_of_Wells Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Most effective: 50% wrestling, 25% boxing, 25% bjj. Not the most fun to watch, but effective. I'd rather see something like 40% muay thai, 20% judo, 20% wrestling, 20% bjj. It makes for a more exciting fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZenWarrior1406052210 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 What do you guys think makes for the most effective MMA fighter? Personally I think around 60% wrestling and 40% anything else is best. Wrestling just seems the most dominant style in MMA The above statement was no longer true during the entire year of 2011 because mma guys who are dominant in Muay Thai boxing, Shotokan karate, boxing, Tae Kwon Do, and BJJ evolved specific wrestling skills, i.e., sprawl to use their choice of striking style, wizards to prevent takedowns, wrestling control tactics to get back up to their feet and maintain their choice of using a striking style, etc., etc. The point is 2011 should go down in UFC and MMA history as the year when traditional and contemporary MMA's learned what was useful from Western wrestling techniques to adapt to NCAA wrestlers, Olympic wrestlers, and Greco Roman wrestlers who were high level wrestlers with half evolved boxing and Muay Thai boxing.

fobar Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 there is no perfect mix, as it is not just about MMA skill. the ability to take a punch, stamina, intellegence are just 3 other qualities you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it isn't effective but most of the time good wrestlers will follow-up and still get the takedown anyway. What we are seeing more is fighters using the cage as a tool for anti-wrestling and good pummeling for position, hand control, wall walking and an open heels on hips and butterfly guard to create space, control hips /head position and allow for scrambles back the the feet.

The question is, "In % what is the ideal mix of martial arts?" Obviously, you need fitness and mental toughness, anybody knows this otherwise if you don't have the guts, it doesn't matter how skilled you are, you will already be beat psychologically.

daweedy Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 You cant divide MMA into percents. You have to have a lot of tools. Wrestling does you no good if you dont know how to sub your opponent or at the very least defend the submission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
