MMA isn't the toughest combat sport.

[JustOnce]

This is. I think the whole MMA elitism isn't any more ridiculous that Gracies acting like BJJ is their own thing.



This is. You gotta respect any other sports for their own merit, but man, compared to this, MMA's a child's play.

Lethwei is pretty crazy ... bare knuckles, headbutts allowed (as well as punches, kicks, elbows, knees), keep going until one is KOd (no decision wins) and ... wait for it ... when one is KOd his team has 2min to revive him! Not a 10 count or such: one can be out cold and if in 2min they can wake him up then fight continues! Plenty of multi-KO fights ... CTE must be off the scales, as well as brain-bleed deaths.

Stitches compared to CTE are nothing.

Honestly, they're f*cking tough sobs participating in that sport, but especially that two-minute count to "revive" someone seems absurdly stupid to me. Not only is it insanely unhealthy as you mentioned, but it's also less close to a real fight than MMA (why would someone wait two minutes for you to get up? - in MMA it's over if you're out).

Holy shit. That is insane. That definitely takes the cake for most brutal.

 

[Big Dawg]

Did they both just say this was stupid?

 

[maxi diablo]

I'd say boxing is more brutal. Imagine having a granite chin and the guy you're fighting is way better but pillow fisted. Accumulation of brain damage.

Japanese pro-wrestling is insane indeed.

Everything combat sport that is tougher than MMA is also retarded.

that spinning elbow around 2:05 was nice! especially knowing the guy had been KO'd cold and then dropped hard.
