UFC fighter VS Mike Tyson

[punisher44]

with out a doubt, peoples taste for blood will never change. And I to love a good fight. And yes the rules that are placed on the fighters can be a very dissadvantage. If you are a good stand up fighter and puncher the open plam rule sucks. Some might say that rule is to keep the fighter safe. If that is the case, and one wants to be safe you shouldn't be a full contact fighter.

So with the rules and dissadvantages Back to the theme. If tyson had to fight a NHB style fight he would most likely lose, and on the flip, if a UFC style fighter had to fight only a boxing style. chance are he would lose.

in ufc u can punch with a closed fist cant u???

im pretty sure u can..

and the gloves they wear are like nothing, no ware near a boxing glove..and i could see a solidly landed bare fist tyson punch to be nearly fatal.

 

[punisher44]

oh yea, closed fist...elbow, pretty close to what ever. There is not much to the gloves, not at all like boxing. And yes I to think that if tyson caught you it could be bad .

The UFC gloves are 6 oz fingerless gloves. Not enough padding in them to trade blows for any lenth of time.

Look at Rizzo / Arvoliski from the last UFC. A straight 1 - 2 punch. In boxing it wouldn't have done much, but with those little gloves on....Busted snout KO.

Tyson has a punchers chance. With some training to avoid the takedowns and recognize submissions he would be formidable. If you taught him to defend a leg kick, I don't think there is a striker in NHB that could trade with him.

As far as NHB fighter go, you have to remember that Couture was an olympic alternate wrestler. They don't really get much better than that. I think it could make for an interesting fight.

 

[punisher44]

Yes that 1-2 was ugly... The Jab to flatten out the snot locker, And the cross to strighten it back out. ...And make you forget who you are for a half Hour.

Zen you a fighter?? or just dig the sport??

can't figure out if you guys are talking about a fight using a certain set of rules, or just throwing them in a ring with no guidelines.

it's Tyson either way - the guy is a fucking animal, fast as hell and jacked (what - 240 at 5'10"?) - the UFC guy might have a shot if he could get under/behind Tyson, but he'd better not get his head within arm's reach uncovered - tyson's lightning quick and one shot, or even half a shot, is all he needs.

more oppinions...

Here's two:
First you don't box a boxer, don't wrestle a wrestler, meaning if your opponent is either and your not, you will be playing his game.
Second, nothing works like the old one-two. Left jab to the chin, Straight right to the chin. Will knock out the baddest of the bad. If you saw the last UFC, you will recall one of the later fights, where the one guy was trying to wear out his opponents legs out from under him by constantly kicking the legs. Well the guy on the receiveng end of the kicks finally said enough is enough and gave the other guy the old one two and knocked out kickboy cold!

do a search on the net for Mitch "Blood" Green. he was a professional boxer in the 1980s. Appearantly he got into a street fight with Tyson outside of a nightclub. Tyson decked the guy and broke his right hand in the scuffle, but i saw a picture of this guys face.............it was swelled up like a pumpkin.

Tyson faught Mitch Green and in the process of beating his ass, landing a very strong right hand that KNOCKED OUT some bridge work that Mitch had in his mouth.

Knocked that shit clean outta his mouth.

And, Tyson did break his hand in a street fight with him as well.

Just a big fan. At one time had aspirations, but there isn't really any place to train around here.

Would consider getting back into it though.

As an aside, I am going to the DangerZone at 4 Bears Casino in New Town North Dakota this weekend. I am so jacked. Should be some great actions.

Big Satan,

You description is not entirely accurate. The guy doing the bulk of the leg kicking (Pedro Rizzo) was also the guy who scored the knockout. (over Arvolisky). Rizzo kicked his leg right out from underneath him in the 1st round (I think it was the first). Anyway, it still proves your point because Rizzo was by far the superior striker. No way should have Arvolisky traded with him.
