No not on a diet. You offended me and i spoke out. End of matter.looks like someone must be on a diet! My sense of humor is the first thing to go too. why dont you go sfw, lhjo and pop some neovars....that always makes me feel better when im a little bit cranky. :kiss:
read the last 3 words of my last post.Okay, enough on this crap. Move on and deal with the thread topic.
Why not? A third degree black belt in karate is NO JOKE. I certainly think a third degree black belt could compete if not rise above an NCAA div 1 wrestling champion.No doubt Pudz is an absolute beast, but don't compare a 3rd degree blk belt in karate to an NCAA Div 1 heavyweight wrestling title! That is almost the perfect pedigree to have when aspiring to be a title contender. However, with that being said, Pudz definitely has a lot of potential to go far if he chooses to.
Are you insane or just trolling? that ludicrous statement shows me you have absolutely no knowledge concerning mma and the sport of wrestling.Why not? A third degree black belt in karate is NO JOKE.

I just dont see him competing at an elite level until he has more training. Lesnar had superhuman strength...
I understand and thats a good point. He did win 5, I think, WSMs. I was drawing a comparison between the two as that they are both big strong men but Lesnar however had the better background.I wouldn't even compare Lesnar's strength with Mariusz's. Totally different league. Part may be from weight difference sure, but you don't win "Strongest man in the world" competitions without having quite superhuman strength.
No, it's not asinine at all, it's just the truth. You obviously have no idea what the skill set of a THIRD DEGREE blackbelt in karate is. Why can't i say GSP or machida? They are, infact, karate masters, and both champions. Youre an idiot... Thats the exact equivalent of me saying 'how many wrestlers are dominating a division, AND DONT SAY BROCK LESNAR'. That just wouldn't make sense, would it? Anderson Silva is also karate, and BJ Penn has a background in karate too. Hmmm... lets see, THATS EVERY DIVISION IN THE UFC BESIDES HEAVYWEIGHT.Are you insane or just trolling? that ludicrous statement shows me you have absolutely no knowledge concerning mma and the sport of wrestling.
How many pure karateka, kyokushin or not, have dominated? And don't say GSP or Machida, cause GSP's strengths are in his wrestling and awesome takedowns, mixed with excellent striking. And Machida has evolved past a pure Karateka, by implementing all styles in his highly unorthodox game; he also has quite solid takedown defense.
But to say that a 3rd degree black belt in karate is comparable and or superior to an elite NCAA Div 1 wrestling championship is asinine.
It is asinine because it really doesn't take that much time to get a BB in karate and there are dozens of different kinds of karate. Wrestlers do well in MMA. I'd take a 163 lb NCAA DI champ wrestler over just about any other martial art. The list of champions that come from a wrestling base is very long.No, it's not asinine at all, it's just the truth.

Since this guy isn't a third degree black belt, this arguement obviously doesnt pertain to him. I just HAD to speak out when i read that crock of ****.. Please don't take this the wrong way though. I'm NOT down playing an NCAA div 1 wrestling championship. That's some legitass ****.
So, you think some joe schmo mcdojo tma 3rd degree karate blk belt can take on a D1 wrestling champ??? lol Anderson Silva is Karate? BJ Penn too?No, it's not asinine at all, it's just the truth.

Short list:
Couture

Hendo
Coleman
Randleman
Rampage
Hughes
GSP is not a champ because of karate; he's a champ because of his wrestling. The only major karate fighter out there is Machida, but he has been doing sumo and BJJ for years. Just because you dabble in an art does not make you that kind of fighter. How many champions do you see training at a karate gym compared to, say, a boxing gym?
While I recognize and appreciate the point you intend to make, XPBaller, one thing remains painfully clear: wrestlers have historically dominated the American MMA scene, at the very least. And while traditional American wrestling has not predominated the Japanese MMA landscape with quite the same veracity, this does not in itself mean that Karate is a viable and applicable discipline for Japanese MMA, either - in that sense, European Boxing, Kickboxing, and JJ tend to be the most practiced disciplines.I'm afriad you misread my post rodja, im sorry... let me clarify. i said how many wrestlers ARE (as in present tense) dominating a division. I dont think i asked how many washed up wrestlers that USED to dominate a division there are floating around. And yeah, rampage has great wrestling, but id consider him a boxer WAY before i considered him a wrestler. And youre right when you say there are a lot of forms of karate, and youre also right when you say it doesnt take long to become a BB in karate. HOWEVER, the BB in discusion here is a third degree BB, which takes years and years and years. Once your a black belt you dont get a stripe over night, that **** takes years. Multiply that by three. And for the record, if you walked up to GSP and asked him if he was a wrestler or a karate practitioner, you bet your ass he'd tell you karate (not saying the guy doesn't have outstanding wrestling abilities though, just making my point).

What is ironic about this discussion is that the takedown itself is one of the mitigating factors to the Karate stance and style being adopted. Whether or not one uses wrestling as their mode of attack, which is what I feel you consider "wrestling," it is nevertheless completely necessary to have as part of one's game to be a successful mixed martial artists. Whether as an offensive base, or as a defensive mechanism to dictate where the fight occurs, wrestling is necessary - Karate, quite frankly, is not. On the note of effectiveness, nothing else need be said than this, unless we assume every mixed martial artist and their coaches are completely incompetent.
Now on to GSP. He does indeed profess himself a Karate practitioner, but this is irrelevant to the fact that his wrestling has been his modus operandi and reason for success over the past five years in particular. This cannot be stressed enough, and similarly it goes for the others you mentioned. A. Silva and BJ Penn may or may not have begun with a Karate base, but by no means do we or should we consider Karate as a primary part of their attack. This is the stark reality, XP: the only successful true Karate practitioner in MMA is Lyoto Machida. While, on the other hand, wrestlers have normally dominated every division of the American MMA scene aside from the LHW division.
Throughout your long-winded rant, you're ignoring the history of MMA and looking at this one moment in a bubble. There may only be one champion that comes from a wrestling base at this moment (I won't start the GSP and wrestling debate, although it is clear why he is champ), but how former champions and/or current top-10 fighters are wrestlers? I could ask this: how many karate guys are dominating a division? The key word is dominate. Machida, while still the champ, hardly had a successful defense of his title and that fight may go down as one of the worst decisions in a long time. As I said, dabbling in an art does not make you that kind of fighter and, realistically, a BB in karate doesn't mean jack **** in MMA. Most TMA do not translate into actual fighting because of the nature of the training. Only recently, outside of MW, have non-wrestlers held a major US MMA championship for an extended period of time. LW, WW, LHW, HW have all been dominated by wrestlers since there inceptions in the UFC. The only real threat to a hugely successful wrestler is an equally successful BJJ practitioner.I'm afriad you misread my post rodja, im sorry... let me clarify. i said how many wrestlers ARE (as in present tense) dominating a division.

PLEASE DONT TAKE THIS THE WRONG WAY. I'm NOT saying that wrestling is useless in MMA, because thats obviously false. Just stating my arguement on how its not fair to say that a third degree black belt 'couldnt compare' in a fight.
And iron fanatic, youre still a ****ing idiot. And you misread what i wrote too. I didnt say bj penn WAS karate, get it straight. I said he had a background in karate (and he does). And yes, Anderson Silva IS a karate practitioner. In my opinion, if someone has trained their ass off long enough to earn a THIRD DEGREE BLACK BELT, they dont deserve your disrespect by calling them a 'joe schmo imironfanatic&isuck**** mcdojo'. No doubt the NCAA div1 wrestling championship is legit and deserves respect and DEFINITELY has potential to run any division, i was just calling you out on your malarchy (saying a 3rd degree blackbelt cant compete?) Please point me to where i 'dont know what im talking about', and ill accept your point. Till then, STFU.
I think my point flew over everyones head and at this point people are trying to put words in my mouth to make themselves look knowledgeable. I never down played wrestling, and i never said karate is greater than wrestling (because its not). I agree the pedigree of wrestlers in MMA (especially UFC) is great. I didn't say that karate has always dominated, and that there were more successful karate practitioners than wrestlers. All i said was that a highly skilled third degree black belt in karate with his head in the right place can be successful in a fight (and they can). Agree to disagree, lets move on.Throughout your long-winded rant, you're ignoring the history of MMA and looking at this one moment in a bubble.

There are certain styles of MA that translate into a fight and karate is not one of them. One fighter does not null this fact because he has extensive training in many other arts and even he has shown glaring weaknesses in his game. Most people are a prisoner of the moment and said Shogun would get killed; I went against the grain and said otherwise. At the end of the fight, Machida still "won," but not in a fashion that anyone would deem successful.
250mg of test is probably a midnight snack for this guy.... lolI don't even think we need to worry about this guy getting into the UFC octagon. He will never detox from roids. roids are a life style for him. he will go through hell coming off them. hes prolly beeen on 250mg test at the very very minimum in the off season. he will be too old and have to hard of a time. his body will break if he tries to get in the UFC gonig through training and having no roids. I am not taking away from him because he is a beast and it doesnt matter how many roids you take he has had some serious training in lifting and hes huge. he needs to stay over seas and i know he will. no U.S. company wants another roid monckey after josh barnett. that fight was awesome to watch and i hope he gets more fights and does even better but if anyone says hes going to be in the UFC i think thats pathetic.
whoa... honorary neg.Why not? A third degree black belt in karate is NO JOKE. I certainly think a third degree black belt could compete if not rise above an NCAA div 1 wrestling champion.
Youre late, its been discussed and beaten to death.... we're discussing the actual topic now :cheers:whoa... honorary neg.
MP vs Aleks? Wow... I'd side with Aleks as my first instinct, but MP is a freak. To a certain degree, you can out-power technique, but Aleks is legit. That would be one interesting fight.Rumor is that he might be fighting Aleks under the M-1 banner. That could be a wild fight
That's a rumor that popped up last year. It was never conformed, but he has fought in North America at least. He's also fought since that report and I highly doubt that it is true. PLus, the CSAC is notoriously dirty and lots of really bizarre tests have come from there.Doubt that match up is going to happen now.
