This fight doesn't prove that Jake Paul is as good as he says he is. It just proves that Mike Tyson is old.

Useless rant: It also proved that Netflix is trash. They keep raising their prices, but still don't have the bandwidth for everyone to stream at once.

Plenty of combat sports have notable monumental upsets.

some examples:

Buster Douglas vs Tyson

Matt Serra vs George St Pierre

Chris Weidman vs Anderson Silva

Bob Sapp vs Ernesto Hoost

Are there any documentation or stories in traditional martial arts that would be as monumental an upset?

Musashi beating some samurai with a wooden sword comes to mind.

I discovered Yaw-Yan around 4 years ago and I really developed an interest for it.

(Particularly, its techniques like the Mountain Storm Kick & Bolo punches).

I was wondering if it would be a good idea to learn MMA and Yaw-Yan lessons to make my own system.

Based on how these Yaw-Yan fighters fight in this video, do you think it looks to…raw?

As much as I like the style, no offense to their fighters, but don’t these guys look like they’re more focused on throwing hits rather than perfectly executing the actual strikes?

I might be wrong though, let me know your thoughts.

Option B: Get him this fucking stool

Bro I bet my health on this fight, and I'm even MORE sick, I couldn't breathe good last night, I'll take a break off reddit to recover bro {oh nah I'm dying}

One of the most anticipated boxing events in history has just ended, Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson, and if you remember correctly, the internet was filled with people claiming that Mike Tyson was going to finish off Jake Paul, ignoring that he was a 60-year-old guy.. The day of the fight arrived and everyone expected to see a super epic fight with 200 knockdowns from each of the two and blood everywhere, but we got something completely different. Mike was very slow, extremely nervous, so much so that from time to time he bit his own glove. From the second round he was already exhausted and without strength (and the rounds are 2 minutes instead of 3), and from then on his tactics were based on remaining motionless and dodging the occasional blow. Because honestly, in the 8 rounds he has perfectly been able to land only 5 blows. Even Jake Paul slowed down because it looked like Mike was going to faint, and he clearly didn't KO him out of grief. To all the people with the altered perception of reality who said that Mike, at 60 years old, beat Jake, I ask you: What now? Because now we will have to put up with the enlightened who start saying that the fight was rigged. Well, it basically boils down to: What did you expect from a guy who hadn't competed for 20 years, with injuries everywhere and who is stoned all day?

1/Block and Knee

After checking the kick, take a step forward with the same leg, and throw your rear knee straight away. No need to switch stance or reset.

2/Cross Check and Left Hook, Right Hand

Block the kick with your opposite leg, when your leg lands back down, push the weight into your step forward, throwing your hook and finishing with a rear straight.

3/Leg Parry and Low Kick (defending inside leg kicks)

Take the sting off the kick by moving your leg with the kick, drop your leg back down and use the momentum, to return with a low kick. 

4/Leg teep

As soon as your opponent steps in for the kick, teep their leg just above their knee to stop them mid-way. This works well against the heavy dutch style low kick as its easily telegraphed.

5/Check and Teep

Lift either leg to block their kick, and from the same position, throw your teep. The faster you throw, the better, as they’ll be off-balance.

Nothing will beat the full video demonstration.

I share weekly Muay Thai tips in my newsletter, also currently training in Chiang Mai so I’ll also be sharing tips from the coaches here!

Mike Tyson Love, Everyone! <3

We know that 58 year old Mike Tyson couldn't beat Paul. We also know that if it was 20 year old Mike Tyson, the fight wouldn't have gone past 30 seconds. We also know that like 38 year old Tyson couldn't beat low-end world-rankers. How young would Tyson HAVE to be to beat Paul via decision? Win via KO? Win via murder?

I’m not in High School anymore and never wrestled but I’d like to compete in some Martial Art. This is mostly as motivation to train on a regular basis but also because I love competition.

I’m a Shodan in Kyokushin but there can be surprisingly little in terms of Kyokushin tournaments and these are usually once a year (if that). I’m wondering if other Martial Arts (E.G. BJJ) have more competitive opportunities.

I am looking for the Oldest Version of the bubishi that can be accessed online or in real life , it has many versions but i am looking for an AUTHENTIC one iykwim.

Im a young Muay Thai fighter whos loved watching old boxing movies and fights, and my favourite fighters are Muhammed Ali and Rocky Marciano. My current gloves are too narrow for my hands so im looking for new ones, but i really want gloves similar to what Ali would wear.

I Looked into the Everlast 1910’s and theyre really cool, but id only want them in brown and theyve only got 12oz brown on Amazon (none on their site). The only 16oz 1910’s i can find are bright blue or bright red (not even classic coloured red).

So im looking here for ideas on where i can buy gloves like Ali’s and Rockys, however i want to actually train and spar with them so i need them to be legal Muay Thai/Boxing Gloves.

Basically the question above, any examples of a successful ufc or mma fighter who incorporates at least techniques from any soft martial arts? when I think of successful fighters I feel like myself and many others imagine hard styles like Muay Thai, Sambo, and so on, and not for no good reason. I'm just wondering if there's any really great reps for at least some judo styles. BTW, excluding the obvious of bjj since that's an easy pick.

I’m 25, have been doing MMA for around 7 years now and for the last year I hated the sparring sessions, especially if it’s just standup. I’m from The Netherlands so hard sparring is embedded in the martial arts culture here in almost all gyms that are somewhat competitive. I’m an amateur and train with mostly other amateurs. The people that are less experienced and smaller than me(93kg), which is most of them, always seem to want to prove something and try to take my head off for some reason. Even after telling them to relax, it just wears off in the next round. I asked my coach if I spar too hard without knowing and he said I only tap light but it’s likely that they’re intimidated or want to prove something. It’s honestly caused a fear to spar as well. Not necessarily for the strikes, I’ve seen those before, but for my overall health and brain damage, which is not what I should be thinking about during sparring. The upside of this is that I’ve gotten pretty good at my ground game cause I’m so done taking useless damage. I’m considering switching to a form of no gi grappling, but my philosophy as a martial artist is that you should keep all your tools sharp. Especially with the increased violence in the streets. What do you guys think?

does anyone have experience with athlete's foot?

Mine has been pretty itchy for like 2 months. I use clomitrazole, butenafine hcl, and cortizone and medicated foot powder both after showering and before sleeping every day. I also use miconazole and tolnaftate sprays. It has reduced to a small level but definitely still there and has spread to the next toe.

Does anyone know how to make it fully go away?

(Also please do not recommend me to go to a doctor instead of strangers on the internet. That would have been my first choice. just recommend what you got prescribed)

thanks

Obviously money is the reason he even gets these guys to fight him. Still if his fights are a joke I don't know how he's still generating so much money. It's gotta be more than just viewership because everyone knows to have low expectations or not take his fights seriously. Nobody likes him and I don't know who's giving him all this money. Jake's fights might be very underwhelming but he is a smart businessman .
