UFC is the closest you can have to a fight to the death

Closer than unprotected Asian Muay Thai, where bones are frequently broken?

Yes, because the fight can't go to the ground Muay Thai. That's a gigantic gap between the sport and a real fight.

BTW, Muay Thai is one of the practical martial arts. It what most UFC train in for their stand up fighting. But again the ground game is most important.

Guess this is a matter of opinion, but it just seems to me that bones being broken is closer to a death match than ground-based submission holds which cause no real harm because of the tapping out rule.
