brendon shaub "k-1 striking doesnt work in mma"

[OriginMMA]

At the end of the day K1, traditional boxing, all that shit works but it all depends on the athlete and his level of respect for the game. When they come into MMA they need to know that they can get out struck, they can get knocked out, and they can lose to these inferior strikers. You have fighters like Saki acting like its impossible for him to lose to these MMA guys in the striking department etc. etc.

Where the fuck is the gif of schaubs soul leaving his body? Either that, or him doing something gay.

MMA is kickboxing/muay thai with takedowns and submissions. K-1/Glory is kickboxing/muay thai
Sounds like a lot of crossover to me.

I love how you casually say with takedowns and submissions... YEAH that totally fucking changes it. Joe Schilling hasn't done shit in MMA and he was a top kickboxer, there's a reason most of those guys don't come into MMA even tho there's WAAAAAY more money.

Schaub knows how to get on the inside.

Most people stop reading at "brendon shaub" FYI

 

[Fight Professor]

Khalil Rountree striking > K-1 striking

 

[Spookv]

People seriously still listen to guy? Schaub was horrible MMA fighter that lacked skill in what he is talking, yes he fought and he should have some input in topics related to MMA yet after hearing snippets of him and listening to him on Joe Rogans podcast & fight companions. Brendan Schaub is retard I barely use that word, but without a doubt he's mentally ill or something probably CTE.

"adesanya outclassed anderson silva in every round" brendon shaub

...

so brendon... israel adesanya translated from k-1 to mma.

still "k-1 striking doesnt work in mma" brendon?

K-1 is an organization, it’s not a martial art or fighting style. Schaub just aggressively stupid as usual. Like saying , Glory or Bellator striking.

 

[DatSamboKid]

K-1 is an organisation. It’s like saying UFC striking. If he means K-1 rules (Elbow’s and Clinch not included) he is right and wrong. Basic striking is basic striking. You find it in MMA and Kickboxing. Throwing a proper 1,2,3,4,5,6 takes years to master. A fighter like Israel, who has really strong fundamentals, will have an advantage the same way a wrestler, with strong fundamentals, would have it. Where Schaub is right, is that stance and distance varie a lot in MMA. A fighter capable of taking you down at will, changes the way you approach the striking game. You can’t do certain things in MMA compared to kickboxing or Muay Thai. I also think most of the ‘’K-1’’ fighters that transitioned to MMA are overrated. If you want to see the highest level of striking, you find it in Thailand. One Champion is trying hard to introduce Muay Thai to the mainstream audience.

 

[BEER]

Lmao, what he is saying is that MMA striking is much different, same way wrestling D1 doesn't instantly mean you can outwrestle everyone.

Schaub knows his shit, some of yall really don't know how embarrassing it is to mock a former top ranked mma fighter lol.

Schaub was a garbage fighter and is a garbage analyst and comedian.

 

[balkanbomber85]

too many people instantly hatin' instead of going deeper into his statement, where he definitely has a point...

K1 is kickboxing with knees (to a certain point) and the pure style does not really fit for MMA for obvious reasons and you need to
work hard on those points in order to transition well to mma... or why do you think so many K1 guys failed so bad in MMA, just
because of lack of TDD??? cmon...

Overreem transitioned well to MMA because he was training MMA and kickboxing at the same time and was jumping from one
martial arts to the other, besides that he was also grappling and won the european adcc trials...

CroCop is another example, but not because he just learned how to defend TD but because his striking style was already closer
to MMA than to K1 at the end of his K1 days, he did not box people but went for the KO with single strikes, and the other point is
that his footwork already became more applicable to MMA than to K1 while he was still kickboxing, which perfectly worked for
him for applying a good TDD, a thing which most K1 guys fail as their footwork is just too K1-ish and with that they fail with TDD..

too many points to explain, but Schaub has a point, no matter if you like him or not...

He fought in the fucking UFC dude. God damn you mofuckas who have never competed are so clueless about how hard it is to win in anything, much less mma!!!

 

[TheAmericanGazelle]

Pretty much any "X-level striking" transfers more poorly to MMA than its equivalent partner in "X-level grappling".

That is empirically true. He's not especially wrong at all.

Fighting in the UFC isn't some some benchmark of excellence, bud. He beat a few bums on a reality show and then got flatlined by a chronically obese dude to earn his contract.

"Fighting in the UFC isn't some some benchmark of excellence, bud"

Lol, what is then? Go compete at a local mma show and tell me again how easy it is to go pro, then beat enough pros to get to the ufc.

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

Schaub was right about what he said, K-1 striking isn't the same as how you have to strike in MMA and fighters going from kickboxing to MMA need to be aware of that and make adjustments to their styles so that it works better in MMA(there's more to defend and gloves are small).

Isreal took a long time training MMA before he fought high level MMA fighters, he didn't just do this over night and from what I have seen of his kickboxing fights he didn't rely a lot on blocking with gloves so he didn't have to unlearn that.

 

[boingyman]

Pfft, even GSP ran from elite K1 striking

Maybe put the quote in context. Adesanya did exactly wht brenden recommended for a kickboxer

 

[NoSmilez]

Shaub isn't referring to K1 strikers not having TDD but rather the way they fight standing does not translate into MMA. It does make sense but that is assuming every K1 fighter is the same. Someone like Israel does not have a dutch strong style. I wouldn't call him a K1 styled fighter because he is not.

Being that upset over someone's opinion in the internet rofl.

Yeah, my post was real foaming at the mouth upset.



They should simply put the garbage where it belongs. Like your posts for instance, cupcake.
