If UFC rules MMA fighter has a better chance to win. No rules it's more about the fighter than his style

 

[DMUA]

MMA is all about learning there is no one style. The Kung Fu guy would get into his stance then get completely rushed by an alien techique he doesn't know how to deal with.

 

[JackJoyce]

Dude it's just grappling, wrestling & striking. Sanda fighters are prepared for that. Also Kung Fu has lot of dirty techniques. It's not just about fancy poses

 

[BattleReviews]

Pretty sure a wrestler can just slam with their body, and swing the Kung Fu master around. These can deal more damage than punches and kicks obviously, even if it's a dirty 1 they get up their sleeves.

MMA doesn't stand for Grappling Wrestling and Striking. It stands for Mixed Martial Arts. They use whatever works to best the opponent, and they never ever stick to a single style like Kung Fu.

Watch this for reference: https://youtu.be/5UnXCDASwUQ

Within seconds of the fight starting the Tai Chi guy got rushed and then the MMA guy beat him while he was pinned.

Watch this as well: https://youtu.be/Y9YdSFS8Ejc

Also within seconds of the fight starting, the MMA guy made a counterattack and absolutely bodied the Kung Fu guy.

 

[Seventy96]

BTW: No rules.

 

[Lorenzo.r.2nd]

mma means mixed martial arts.... doesnt this mean that the mma fighter could also know kung fu, plus a zagadillion more martial arts? im just saying. this is my reason for the mma win

 

[Seventy96]

Typical MMA is mix of box, muay thai/kickbox, wrestling, sambo and bjj.

 

[Lorenzo.r.2nd]

it says 20 years of training. thats more than enough time to learn all of the above (basics and some techniques at least). plus, if he was smart, he would look for a style that could most perfectly counter kung fu in and of itself.

 

[TacticalNuke002]

MMA dude has a versatility advantage. He's also likely got a good knowledge of kung fu as well, and how to combat it. Although not to the level of KF master.

I see MMA win 7/10 times tbh.

 

[JackJoyce]

@DMUA Watched that video long time ago lol. An amateur will get destroyed no matter what style he's using.

Traditional Kung Fu don't teach takedown defense. But there's other Chinese martial arts that do. Cung Le have done well in UFC.

 

[Uradelbauer]

MMA fighters usually don't know kung fu. Obviously it's impossible to tell unless you give the weight and height of both but I'd say MMA fighters are usually much stronger

They both has the same height and weight

@DMUA

Wrestling is a category of Mixed Martial Arts

 

[DMUA]

Among many other styles integrated into the best way to take someone down

 

[Uradelbauer]

MMA via grappling

 

[Mickey1940]

MMA extremely high diff

 

[KLOL506]

MMA via versatility, grappling and overall having experience in more martial arts allowing him to make a combo of several of such moves.

 

[Uradelbauer]

Is this decided?

 

[JackJoyce]

The best fighter is usually the one that trains with the least constrictive rules. MMA fighters tend to spar more and in a more scientific manner so they would most likely win.

If a Kung fu fighter sparred full out regularly they have some chance to win because they would develop cheap tricks like crotch shots, biting, eye gouging, hair pulling, small joint rotation etc that they MMA fighter wouldn't be used to handling. But, seeing as how fewer Kung fu fighters go all out in sparring sessions, how clueless they are about wrestling and BJJ and how inferior their cardio is etc. I give it to the MMA fighter 8/10

If its in the ring MMA fighter wins but on the street Kung fu guy takes it all day

trust me when i say theres many other applicable techniques from kung fu besides "Cheap Shots"

Both these fights didn't follow the rules for this battle

The first link featured a guy who looks like he's in his early 30's against another guy in his 60's-70's. There's a clear strength/weight difference here.

Second link has the same issue with weight. It even says in the description of the video

With both fighters having identical physiques, it's really hard to say who would win. Even though most styles of martial arts like Kung Fu, Taekwondo, and Tai Chi don't focus on brute force (I'm a 1st Dan Black Belt in Taekwondo, so I think I know what I'm saying), they still can hit like trucks with most of their techniques. Plus, as JackJoyce said, nut shots and other "cheap tricks" aren't outside the boundries of these martial arts.

I'm going to change my vote to the Kung Fu Master, 501 times out of 1000. This is slightly more of a brains vs brawn kind of fighting, and I think that slightly more often than not the Kung Fu Master should steal the win

 

[DMUA]

I have no idea where you're getting 60-70s from. It's hard to tell the age from the video, but there isn't anything pointing to them being dramatically older and thereby weaker

The weight difference is definitely an issue, but I don't think the MMA fighter would have dominated nearly as hard if he just had an edge in strength. He still has to use his skills to close the distance and actually get them into a grip they can use their weight advantage with

Age is the fact that the tai-chi fighter's hair was gray and balding

 

[DMUA]

I'm pretty sure the dude was shaved entirely bald from what I can tell

 

[TacticalNuke002]

I am fairly sure MMA has no discernable weaknesses, since you get the offensive arsenal of a multitude of different martial arts, while using elements of different other martial arts to plug the weaknesses of the style being used currently.
