Can a boxer beat an MMA fighter in a street fight?
In the remake of classic film “Karate Kid”, we see Mr Han tell Dre the one most important rule of fighting.“You hit him, don't let him hit you.”As simple as that might sound, it's really all that goes into the fight game.Now, given how unpredictable street fights are, and how both fighters are trained to fight, but in vastly different disciplines.The MMA fighter is able to fight using all limbs, and is comfortable with fighting on the ground, in the clinch, or just plain standup.The boxer, however, is very limited to the fists.It's not that the boxer can't throw a kick or an elbow, but the vast majority of the training they have received will be regarding the punching; their core speciality.The MMA fighter is good at a far wider branching set of skills, and thus is much more likely to be able to avoid getting hit by the boxer.All the while, our hypothetical Conor McGregor can unleash a barrage of kicks, elbows, or even just go for the submission.He has all the tools to hit his opponent, and all the tools to avoid getting punched by the boxer.Hence, in accordance with our Mr Han rule; the MMA fighter has the greater chance of winning.
Do you think UFC fighters could win a real life street fight with no rules or refs?
Do you mean the fighters under contract in the UFC or MMA fighters in general? At any rate, the answer is pretty much the same: someone who is trained to fight is going to be better than someone who isn't. And by the time they're good enough to get into the UFC, they're among the best in the world. I don't even know why this is an issue. Here's a clip of Ryan Hall, who's not even a UFC-level MMA fighter (though he's a very good grappler); TWICE he takes his opponent down and neutralizes him. The first time he's nice enough to let him up; the guy continues to get more violent, so Hall chokes him out the second time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JUXrGxo... Here's UFC castoff Roger Huerta, who fought at 155lbs, chasing after and apparently subduing a bigger dude: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9JpeKKB... Me, I've choked people out or yoked 'em up when I *wasn't* trying to hurt them. The average person really has no idea how little they can actually fight. A UFC-level MMA fighter is going to be in incredible shape with years of training under their belt. They'd smoke some random, untrained dude, even giving up size or age.
Is it a possible a regular street fighter beats an mma fighter in a fight?
I haven't heard a lot of this happening for mma fighters - but then mma is the kid on the block. Street fighters beating the crap out of martial artists is fairly common. I have a working theory that this occurs because the martial artists in question have an over-sized ego and an over-estimation of themselves and their abilities and therefore take no notice of the maxim, "the best defense is - don't be there in the first place." Or, they are just plain unlucky enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Forgetting about the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of the fighting training done by most martial artists, it nearly always comes down to reaction time. There are street fighters here who beat up martial artists just for the fun of it. The reason they win is because the martial artist is simply not given the chance to use his art. A recent study discussed in Blitz magazine by British scientists talked about this. I was most interested to read that the aggressor has almost 0.6 of a second advantage over the defender. That is, by the time you recognise an attack coming in and you choose a block, execute it, and then counter with something, the best response time you can hope for is a difference of 0.4 of a second. Naturally, you are trained to react so there is no thinking required on your part. The key is resognising the signs that you are about to be attacked - and then getting in first. In this case, you are still at a 0.2 second of a disadvantage if the attacker has decided on his course of action. The article then went on to discuss why so-called fight science is nothing more than science quackery. Having people stand there and wait for a light to go on or a buzzer to sound before launching an attack is rubbish. They are ready and waiting. In most street fights, there is no warning. My suggestion is this: You are punched without warning. Forget your fancy moves. Put your fists hard against your temples, elbows in hard against your sides, and chin on your chest and crouch down. This will give you the vital seconds you need to regain your composure.
Could a well trained fighter lose to a random guy in a fight?
Of course he could. Just because you are well trained doesn’t make you invincible. When having a fight with someone who’s not trained or as technical as one can be, you can be sure that the non-trained individual will use everything in his/her power to win. You cannot stop all punches coming to you and no matter how well trained you are balls are balls and I believe only superman has balls of steels and well he’s not real. Same for female, while they may have no balls, a good kick in the pie area would hurt as much and cause severe damage.I got once in a fight and the person was a street fighter, I got in stance feeling that I was intimidating him -after all I do one of the oldest MMA discipline there is. To my surprise, that guy didn’t care at all about the stance and he was able to give me a good humility lesson and the understanding that I was not invincible.The same happens with guys who go to gym and feel that they are indestructible because they are buff and muscular and feel they can jerk around with skinnier guys. It happens to me once and the guy learned that I could jump and that I knew very well my human anatomy.Nothing is written in stone, a girl can beat up a man, a older man can run faster than a younger dude, and a world class champion with years of training can be surprised by a street fighter who fight for survival not just for sports.
Can a boxer beat a street fighter ?
This is always funny to hear people debate about this subject. There is a very, very slim chance that a proclaimed "streetfighter" could beat a boxer in any circumstance. You must remember that a boxer trains, for a living, to fight. Boxers are constantly training to punch things, hard and fast, as well as to avoid being hit. Also, boxers can take a punch. The first time I was punched in the nose, my eyes watered, my nose bled and I couldn't see straight for a while. Now, it barely phases me. Boxers also know how to decrease the power of an opponents punch, if it actually makes a connection. So a boxer is well trained in hitting an opponent as hard and often as possible without being hit, for up to over a half an hour. I have never seen a street fight last over a few minutes. And all of these things that we train to do, we train to do it all of the time, day in and day out. It is a boxer's job to fight. I play street basketball all of the time. My brother and I used to "run the courts" all over town. However, this does not mean I could play for the NBA. So my point is, just because some "tough guy" is good at beating up other "tough guys" on the street, with no real training on the best and most effective ways to do so, doesn't mean he could even stand a chance with someone who devotes most of his time training with methods proved to be the most effective means of fighting against other trained fighters.
How many untrained guys can an MMA fighter fend off?
Depends a lot on what type of men, and if it’s all at once, or one at a time. Also, by “fend off” do you mean to beat to the point where the other men won’t retaliate anymore, can’t retaliate anymore, or just survive the encounter relatively unharmed? The first really depends on what kind of men they’re fighting and why. A bunch of untrained streetfighters looking to make a name for themselves will fight longer than an average guy that got mad.If, say for example, he’s fighting three or four men with a similar musculature to him at the same time, all they have to do is have one of them take a hit or two while the others grab on and begin to hold him down. A lot of MMA fighting is based around grappling and groundwork techniques, which works well when fighting one on one, but if you’re performing a strangle hold or joint lock, all your limbs are occupied. That means you have to rely almost entirely on striking to deal with this kind of situation.It also depends a lot on what weight class of MMA fighter you’re talking about. A strawweight fighter might have a lot of difficulty with even 2 average men, because the average man has 60–70% more weight, and that makes it easier to hold the MMA fighter down. A super heavyweight fighter on the other hand might be able to take on up to 10 men, because he’ll be much more capable of severely injuring people in one hit, keeping them off.
Could a 140lb man beat a 200lb man in a street fight?
Let's assume that both fighters are fit young men (I weigh 160lb, and I would typically win a standup fight against someone 50% heavier if they were fat and unfit!). Therefore the bigger guy is probably 4"- 6" taller, or carries a lot of muscle. Here are a few ideas that up the chance of the smaller guy walking away from the fight.Don't get in a grappling match or on the floor. The extra weight will kill you. You will probably want to strike rather than wrestle.Strike first - real fights are often over in one move. Kick to the groin. Kick to the side of the knee. Fingertip thrust to the throat, if you are close enough. Palm or fist to the nose.If you are genuinely threatened, remember that there are no rules. The reason that MMA forbids eye gouges, head stamps etc. is that they win fights fast and leave the other fighter potentially permanently damaged.Use what comes to hand. Stick, chair, bunch of keys.Remember, Rule 1 in a fight is to avoid it. Rule 2 is to run away as soon as you can. Rule 3 is to remember the other guy may have friends nearby, in which case you are in big trouble.And also remember that you may go to prison if you use excessive force.There are lots more experienced fighters on quora who may give better advice.
Could a smaller trained boxer beat up a bodybuilder type in a street fight?
A smaller trained boxer would absolutely destroy a huge bodybuilder. I used to work with a guy who was a professional bodybuilder. He was about 5'5" and close to 300 lbs with huge biceps. He would brag all day about his lifting credentials. So one day we were talking and he was bragging so I told him that he might be tough pushing around weights but if he ever got in the ring, he would get anahilated! Why? To be able to effectively punch, you need to be able to generate snap at the end of your punches. If you are overly muscular in the shoulders and biceps, you can not generate that snap. The punches will be slow and pounderous and will have little to no power behind them. Put a skinny guy like Kelly Pavlik in there with a guy who is a body builder and over 300 lbs and Pavlik knocks him cold in about 30 seconds.
