"Easier" isn't quite the right description, but deffintely very different. So all the time spent on in depth counters to counters to counters in grappling is largely wasted when time would have been better spent mastering a single escape/sweep. If you've ever grappled with good MMA guys they typically have a much smaller library of grappling techniques that they have drilled the shit out of.
@@mattyc7 Karo Parisyan published a book on Judo For MMA, and he absolutely pushes for drilling the crap out of a small number of techniques instead of trying to cast a wide net. When he first started training BJJ submissions for MMA, his coach had him do nothing but triangle chokes for weeks on end. They'd start him standing, on his back, on the other guy's back, etc etc and say, "Find the triangle from here." Better to know a thousand ways to apply one technique than a thousand techniques only applied one way.
Toney hadn't been a 'world class athlete' in about 10 years before he fought Couture, and even in his middleweight prime he was known for drinking coca cola between rounds in sparring and eating burgers in training, bizarre choice, the fat mess who fought Couture wasn't world class athlete Toney
@@geedee1264 - Yeah, and they put him against a massive young beast in his prime like Couture, that was fucked up! I mean it's not like Randy was 48 (which would be 5 years older than Toney) and would retire a fight later, or like Toney had a big weight advantage or anything. They even started the fight on the ground, which was this kid Couture's favorite place. Had they started the fight standing up James would have besmirched that weight-bully, one punch KO, head clean off. Haven't you heard Jake Paul saying this to Ben Askren? "this is the fight game baby!"
@@randallflagg3700 Calm down and don't be so defensive son, no version of James Toney beats Couture in the cage, but to have Toney at number two is just strange, and please, Couture was better in his 40s than he was in his 30s so don't try to give me lessons on Randy Couture, considering he's one of my favourite fighters of all time. Toney having a weight advantage over a heavyweight champion just shows how out of shape he was. Oh no I had no idea Jake Paul came up with that phrase. That's impressive considering its been around before he was conceived
I hope u are not lying about it, stage four cancer is bad as hell, im happy u survive so happy, R.I.P for that legend kid yamamoto and applaouse for u warrior!!!!! Great history!!
@Shite Talker I believe it. Wanderlei even admitted it. I'm just saying that Crazy Horse knew he got a lucky punch and wouldn't try it again if he can help it. He's literally a lightweight.
@Shite Talker years ago, I seen my roommate, about 150 wet and in boots knock out our other roommate who was about 270(very drunk). He was out cold before he hit the floor. A punch you don't see coming can be deadly.
They may have lost, but they have way more stones and actual dignity compared to the nowadays "Ill kick your ass... under a heavy set of rules that will protect me" guys, respect to them, they had balls.
@@magneticdragon1517 cause rock can only smash things that are hard but paper is flexible so it covers the rock instead so I guess picture it as pinning someone in wrestling, your in top control and he can't move ergo you win the match

Being an MMA fighter fighting in Japan in the late 90s & early 2000s must have been wild. You had a 50/50 shot of either facing a pro wrestler strongarmed into it by Antonio Inoki with only basic catch wrestling, or a juiced up psychopath who’d take your head off and then stomp it in. It was a simpler time, a better time.
I love my father for introducing me to violence, back when this sport was considered savage barbaric, I miss Pride the gold old days where you snooze you lose
I don't know if you did this. What about top athletes who transition well into MMA? Cro Crop, Fedor, Royce Gracie, DC, Machida, Werdum, CeJudo, and even Ronda are good candidates.
It’s crazy that this channel has the same sub amount as chaels. Don’t get me wrong. Chaels a boss and busts out content like a madman, but this channel deserves more of a following.
I dont understand why Karam Ibrahim wasnt mentioned the Egyptian Greco-Roman gold medalist who got brutally KOed by Kaz Fujita in K-1 Dynamite MMA match.
Hey guys, awesome work as always. Just want to point out a small mistake: when Gokhan Saki's first opponent in the UFC is mentioned, the guy who shows up in the video is actually UFC welterweight Claudio "Hannibal" Silva, not Henrique "Frankenstein" da Silva. ;)
@@cameronsmith3608 A lot of pro-wrestles are successful in MMA. Like Brock Lesnar and Kazushi Sakuraba, but yeah CM Punk in his late 30s or early 40s at the age the vast majority of MMA fighters retire. He should not fight in UFC where he just begin to learn MMA at that age.
@@Hempujonsito jon jones vs dc interview was funny, DC so heated and trying to laugh it off to not look stupid while jones is calm and then delivers the win in the fight
Great Video, Think you missed Peter Aerts on this list, one of the best kickboxer ever getting heel hooked within 30 sec and has fought at K1 in 2005 and rizin in 2015.
You guys should do like a "10 hardest things for non-MMA fans to understand" or "10 hardest things to explain to non-fans". Something along those lines, just generally speaking events and concepts of MMA we find normal but non-fans would find very odd or unnatural or just generally hard to concieve
Rulon Gardner did well against Yoshida, in a battle of Olympic gold medalists (wrestling vs judo). He went to Team Quest and they designed a game plan for him: don't use your wrestling fool, and box the judoka! You have longer reach, use that. An Olympic Judo Gold medalist (In Atlanta in 1996) who did great in MMA is Pawel Nastula. Well, his record isn't exactly spotless but PRIDE threw him to the lions immediately. His first MMA bout was against Rodrigo Nogueira, who was the number 2 HW at the time, only second to Fedor. And Nastula did surprisingly well, it was one of the first events I'd watched live, and the Polish Judoka really got me hooked. After losing that first fight against Big Nog, since he put on a vailliant effort PRIDE rewarded him by having him fight former UFC HW champ Josh Barnett, and then Sambo world champion Aleksander Emelianenko. Poor Nastula was outmatched, but still did his best in those fights; he especially did good against Barnett, considering the insane difference in experience. Nastula then fought another wrestling gold medalist, I forgot his name: time for some google-fu: *Andrzej Wroński* Andrzej Adam Wroński (born October 8, 1965 in Kartuzy, Pomorskie) is a Polish wrestler (Greco-Roman style) who has won two Olympic gold medals (1988 Seoul, 1996 Atlanta, the same one Nastula won in Judo!) Anyway, he had only one MMA bout, and that was a loss to Pawel Nastula in Poland back in 2011. Google him if you must, that guy's accomplishements are insane! You can also find the fight between him and Nastula on youtube.

An extra name I could add, sadly it's an athlete from my country. Egyptian Greco-Roman wrestler and Olympic gold medalist Karam Ibrahim Gaber who had one MMA bout at 2004's K-1 PREMIUM 2004 Dynamite!!, unfortunately his opponent was a prime "Ironhead" Kazuyuki Fujita. Gaber had some decent offense at first but had no defense, which left him open for a punch from Fujita resulting in a RD.1 KO loss.
