    Why don't they get rid of rounds in the UFC?

    Trust me, I have seen 15 and 30 minute no round fights. You don't want it to go there, See Ken Shamrock vs. Dan Severn 2, the Superfight with Shamrock vs. Gracie. You think it is boring with decisions now, wait till you see someone holding guard for an hour with nothing happening. Or like...

    What is the average salary of a Mixed Martial Arts Instructor?

    Does negative count? Many many guys end up having to use money out of their own pockets to keep their dojos up and running. Some guys end up doing alright, but few make serious, serious money. Let's get an idea: Boxing: Most boxing gyms make their ends meet by getting a part of the purse...

    Wanderlei Silva vs Rich Franklin for UFC 99, who will win?

    Rich has a weakness, and it isn't against BJJ fighters... it's against guys who hit hard... He has never been submitted, 3 of his 4 losses were due to being KO'd Wanderlei hits hard. That is a hard fight to pick because I like both fighters, both are coming off losses and are hungry. Rich is...

    Judo/BJJ vs MMA in a street fight?

    First... there is no need to get into a fight with them, let them be punks and concentrate on your own thing. Second: It all depends, could someone with 10 years of Judo beat someone with 10 months of MMA? Absolutely. How does the two people train? A guy who is a competetive BJJ, and Judo...

    Is the American Top Team in Flagler a good MMA gym?

    Way too much. The ATT in Pembroke Pines (just up the road) is pretty damn good, so obviously the one a little further north at Coconut Creek is definately worth it. But the one at Flagler, no idea who is teaching or any information on it, but unless it is some really high quality guys, that...

    Are Wrist/leg Locks, And Crushing Chokes Allowed In Mma/ufc?

    What you are talking about is called the Ezekiel choke, and it is legal in MMA. Any joint lock except for fingers and toes are allowed. You can't wrap your hands around someone's throat or trachea, but you can choke the trachea. Otherwise the guillotine choke would be illegal. (It is an air...

    Rules in UFC/sport fighting?

    Just fingers toes... Ankles, Wrists are legal. Also neck cranks and other cranks are completely legal... The problem is most cranks are pain submissions, and most fighters have high pain tolerance, or are able to put up with the pain long enough to switch positions or move around until they...

    Who is the best Silva in MMA?

    Well... Big Tim the Maineiac's last name is Sylvia. Given Wanderlei, Thiago, and Antonio (Junior)... I think Thiago is still relatively untested... but is probably going to be the best of them. Wanderlei is awesome, but I think running into the end of his career.. I would actually put him on...

    do you have to kick if your in a MMA fight do you really have to?

    Sure... Plenty of guys have great careers with little to no kicking. If you look the majority of kicks in MMA are leg kicks, just low strong kicks to hurt your opponents mobility, score another strike, find range, and as well as to get them to drop their hands. There are plenty of guys who...

    Which UFC Pay-Per-View was this?

    You are right it is UFC 7 with Paul Varelans and Marco Ruas. (Varelans monster with black singlet, Ruas being one of the people to show how devastating leg kicks could be). Royce defeated Pat by taking him down and acheiving mount, once he was on his back and mounted Pat pretty much just gave...

    Alexander karelin vs Ali in mma fight!?

    Wow, that is an interesting match up. What you have to keep in mind is Ali had the best footwork of pretty much any fighter I have ever seen. Closing the distance would be hard for Karelin (keep in mind he didn't win because he had an amazing shot, but because he was strong as hell and could...

    UFC Heavyeight Interim Champion and UFC Heavyweight Champion?

    An Interm champion is someone they put in place when the Champ is unable to defend his belt. In this case, Randy Couture was tied up legal battles (mulling retirement in an effort to go to another promotion for a big pay day against Fedor). Since there was no foreseeable end to when and if...

    What is the best pair of MMA Gloves?

    Honestly MMA gloves aren't the best to be using on the Heavy bag, I spend only a small portion of my heavy bag training with MMA gloves, and I only do that about two weeks out from a fight to get used to the impact with them. Far better off using some bag gloves or the wrapped gloves out there...

    Which do you love more, UFC or Pride fc?

    I also loved both... I would give anything to have the Yellow Card rule in the UFC. I think both had it's merits, too bad Pride's management was crooked as hell, and screwed the whole thing up.

    I need an MMA nickname.?

    Umm you can wait... or you can be taken as a joke.. pretty much up to you. Mike Strehle sounds good to me. You don't pick your own nickname, and you earn one, it's pretty simple. Otherwise you are just a TapOut wearing douche wannabe. I had to be that harsh about it, but that is pretty much...
