How much of an advantage is it to be bilingual when it comes to advice from your corner? Is there any fight you can think of that ended because fighter A understood fighter b corners advice and not vice versa in the fight?
not 100% sure but seems like speaking a foreign language can be evasive to random annoying media questions and you can pretend to not understand questions you would not like to answer as a fighter. As far as corners go not sure.
Hmm, Riki Fukuda has Japanese guys in his corner as well as coaches/training partners from AKA. And Chris Wilson used to receive instructions in both English and Portugese. I don't really know if it's an advantage as such, though. I can't think of a fight like what you describe though.
I was thinking about groundwork/clinch against the cage in front of the other guys corner and you can/cant understand the corner.
fair enough, a corner can help - and if your opponent can't understand, all the better... but at the end of the day, there's more important matters to consdider when stepping in.
I once got advice in spanish from my corner. It did not help me since I dont speak spanish. However in my latest fights I've been getting advice in English and Thai. Doesnt really seem like its given me any advantage thou.
Did your opponent speak English and Thai? Yeah if you dont speak spanish its probably not a good idea from your corner to give instructions in spanish
