I've been waiting for some Tae Kwon Do specialists to emerge more in MMA. I haven't seen many people that are Tkd specialists.

I know Vernon Forrest, Stephan Bonner, use Tkd skills in their fights. I am sure there are others too. They do alright with their Tkd skills.

Lukasz Juras Jurkowski is only one I have found that truely fits the Tae Kwon Do specialists category. He does some pretty good Tkd. Forrest and Bonner are more freestyle fighters in my opinion.

Why do you think Tkd hasn't made more of an impact? Couldn't the Olympic Tkd fighters contribute? Wouldn't they do well in MMA?

Do you know of anymore Tkd specialists I have overlooked?
 
Tae Kwon Do is never going to be that dominate art in anything other than TKD. Face it TKD is the Joke of the MA world. TKD is useless in real fights. Moreover, Even fighters with TKD background don't use anything they ever learnd in TKD.

TKD is realy not practical compared to karate and other arts.

Also, The reason it was in the Olympics is because it is the one style of MA that is least likely to hurt someone.
 
I saw someone before. But I forgot his name. He has a weird name and he looks gay... He can do amazing spinning kicks and stuff. He's not from UFC I think he's retired already..

Oh do taekwondo too in MMA... Perhaps I'm 'the one'?? LOL hehehe
