Have you ever been in real fight?

8 oz gloves? What? In NHB you use grappling gloves, not boxing gloves!

What? I never assumed ANYTHING! I knew that you know nothing about NHB, thats the truth and you haven't disagreed with that! I have NO idea where you came up with the arrogant part, but what ever makes you happy. 12? where did you get 12 from? Like I said before, I'll say it again...stop talking s***!

Tapout, I think the point is whether UFC/NHB duplicates a "real fight". Noone is saying that NHB fighters can't fight, or that they would be unprepared for a street fight. Indeed, quite the opposite. They would probably be among the best prepared.

 

However, is NHB "identical" to a real fight. Of course not. Their are many variables that differ. Is NHB "similar" to a real fight... perhaps. Is it a fair simulation of fighting - yes, particularly compared to some types of competition out there. However, "identical" - no.

 

No need to get hyper defensive. Stay objective and I'm sure you can contribute some good stuff. With your knowledge of NHB, perhaps you could actually have a deeper knowledge of some of the differences or limitations involved. What exactly are the current rules regarding striking and grappling? What sort of surface do they fight on? Time limits? What decides a match? I've seen a video clip here or there but never delved deeply into it.

how much do the grappling gloves weigh again?

 

boxergenics are usually 8. the ouano ones are usually 8 or 10. who said they were boxing gloves?

I'm just going to ask you here to continue this discussion peacefully. We tolerate arguments but not abusive ones where personal attacks are made or agression is used. Keep this on subject please, no flaming. Thanks.

8 to 12oz gloves are boxing golves. Grappling or MMA gloves only weight 2 or 3oz.

The point of NHB is to determine who is a better practical fighter, not who can break their own knuckles and the other guy's face.

Well it appears that all pretty much agree the UFC is not like a real fight. Its a interesting topic to discuss. What made me think of taking more then one attacker was reading one of the gracie books. They claimed that it usually does not happen that way (taking more then one attacker)and they went on with something about keeping kicking the snot out of 4 men stuff in hollywood. Then again they are promoting BJJ.

I dont know. but i thought to the topic was about street fighting , Not UFC lol

 

I have been in a couple of streetfights when i was much younger. Im a very small person so i was the perfect target for bullies lol

 

Just Once i went to the ground and it was because I Took the guy down for gound and pound. For ME, clinching is even more common than ground, thats why is so importan to work on the clinch.

- "Buy a dog. A big one."

 

Hehe dogs look mean and scary. The barking and snapping jaws terrifies most people. However, I've heard that if you stay calm, dogs are quite easy to kill. Easy to kick 'em away, and if they jump up I've heard you can grab the front legs and literally rip them apart, which will probably kill the dog.

 

There is a reason man has domesticated even the largest of dogs, but not equivalent sized great cats...

 

Anyways, I think the moral of this topic is that in a real fight, you must expect anything, including flying beer bottles.
