thats if you can hit a moving target who can defend himself in the neck.

if youre fighting a guy like me that isnt a fighter then its different.

if youre fighting a guy trained to see what youre doing and defend himself them you have to be particularly lucky for him to expose his neck or chin.



MMA fighters learn a handfull of techniques from various styles
they practice the hell out of them till its second nature.

throw something new at them, like a standing knee break, and they are lost with no defense against it because theyve never learned one or trained one. theres no standing knee breaks in MMA so no need to learn a defense for one.
except for the wrastling moves.

the reason they arent in MMA fights is because it would end careers. theres no tap out before it happens. it either happens, and the guy gets carted out of the ring, or it it gets blocked or missed.

I think that's a gross generalization on par with the "my guy can't be defeated evar!"

a real fighter wouldnt expose his chin like this dude did - thats why this can only happen in an outclassed fight situation

It's not hard. You can make people move, even if they are trained. Sometimes some training makes people easier to hit because their reactions are more predictable and if you can make someone react you can anticipate where they will be.



See how the attacker recognized the opponent's reaction the first push? Training makes noticing that sort of thing instinct. No thought needed. Like a pro baseball player vs a 102 mph fastball. He's hitting the ball before he ever thinks "swing."

is that the diego giy vs bj penn fight? diego was out of his league.

it will always come down to skill first and foremost.

i hated watching that fight, it was like putting a mouse in with a snake.

Yea, Penn wasn't a very nice opponent back then. This kid cracked fast. Even in that clip, rule one of defending yourself, don't back straight up.

i took wrestling in high school and i still remember to this day how excited my coach became when i made my opponent back up during a match...

usually when a guy is backing up away from you its a sign that youre completely in control of the situation
