Re: New Fight Question

as for what the military guy may know that the ufc guy doesn't: no holds barred moves. I came across an old army hand-to-hand manual. it had long chapters on different ways to put your fingers into someone's face and rip it apart. would they ever get a chance to try that? I don't know. would the ufc guy think of trying the same thing himself? seems likely. so I have no idea if it would be a big factor. but it is a possible factor. and this is what "shoot" fighting is supposed to refer to traditionally I think (or catch-as-catch can). I didn't look at the link above, but my understanding is that the main part of shoot fighting was supposed to be small joint manipulation--fingers, knee caps etc--eye gouging, fish hooking, pressure points, etc. in a word, dirty fighting. but again, the ufc guy isn't going to refrain from trying the same himself. though he's less practiced in it.,

Isn't that the main point? The boxer is less practiced in grappling so will lose to the Mixed fighter. But the Mixed Fighter is not fully trained in the full array of the Most Deadly Moves like the World Class Navy Seal is. In a fight to the Death isn't it the Most Deadly Techniques that dominate? Also, since none of these "Ultimate" fights are to the death and they rule out the Most Deadly Techniques, is the comparitive evidence they provide really conclusive? The Death Match rule set hasn't been tested.
