No more Creators in MMA

[markys00]

No more innovators, but there are creators like Aspinall who created a no contest by quitting against Gane.

wow you are one pathetic loser. bwhahaha fucking loser.

 

[markys00]

another one

Tom Icantseel invented a strategy of safely turning a fight into No Contest when you know you are about to lose

another fucking loser. dude you should move on and not be so pathetic

 

[jeff7b9]

There's only so many ways the human body can move my.man.

That's why everybody is fucking their step families on pornhub

At a certain point all that is left is to refine the technique and try to create a story

The evolution of the sport will be when the powerslap athletes crossover.

 

[Prazeres]

Merab perfected optic based round winning

 

[DiazSlap]

Joe Rogan- leg kicks

 

[Khaosan]

another one

another fucking loser. dude you should move on and not be so pathetic

Tom Aspinall has completely dominated every aspect of their lives, it’s hilarious and insane.

 

[Slapjit]

Poatan use slap dangal style for his game-plans to crash Ankalaev in 1 round only, exposing the Dagestani weakness to brace defence and powerful thappad

 

[TriangleMonkey]

We need to bring white tiger kenpo karate back

 

[arcadeperfect]

Why nobody tries to invent other type of low kicks....like Bendo started to calf kick ?

Poatan should get credit for that. He's the one that's done the most damage and has used it as a way to finish the fight.

 

[arcadeperfect]

Jiri is a good contemporary one. No one fights like that, you can't really classify what type of fighting style he is. Pure chaos and the best kill or be killed fighter on the roster.

 

[Dagestanaev]

Poatan should get credit for that. He's the one that's done the most damage and has used it as a way to finish the fight.

Yes, but there are not new kicks

 

[JakePaulMMA]

Aikidobros need to step up their game

No one has ever kicked another man in the face until Steven Seagull came along

 

[fendertach]

Khabib was not an innovator. He's a knock off GSP. Craig Jones exposed Khabibs " Sambo" a few days ago

 

[SamuraiBro]

It’s like a free flow hybrid Karate/Muay Thai style

The sport should evolve, correct ? This is why no names like Paddy the Baddie would beat a prime Royce Gracie. However, Gracie would always be a legend and he accomplished more for the sport.

The sport evolved due adaptation to counter or surpass the current techniques/styles.
Or also we had creators :
- Mark Coleman invented ground and pound
- Ken Shamrock and Funaki introduced shoot fighting
- Cro Cop demonstrated kickboxing can translate to MMA etc
- Khabib introduced Dagestani Sambo and strategy to win a fight

However, what Inventors do we still have in MMA?
Rare. Some guys are just very good at it (Topuria or Mighty Mouse) , but they are not creators.



Rare contemporan examples:

1. Dricus - he was able to embed chaos into fighting
2. Strickland - weird, geeky defense that actually works . Call me crazy, he does some wing Chun defense with his hands, combined with boxing


That's it ? Nothing to be improved into clinch to ground transition?

Psychological warfare to make your adversary overconfident like Cutelaba tried to do vs Ankalaev?

Nothing to improve on countering point fighters like Gane ?

Nothing to improve to counter Merab's spam takedown storm ?

Shootfighting was MMA before MMA was even a terminology.

As far as new inventions:


Using Tang Soo Do and Taekkyon kicks and sweeps on top of boxing combo. Boxing foundation is a must here.

Adapting Musashis Niten Ichi Ryu technique with Judo close range strikes as a form of kuzushi/off balancing

Switch hitting side stance boxer with superb lead hand jabs and explosive interval combo with quick footwork.

Lastly:


Gokor Chivichyan Hayastan Judo/Sambo of throws that turn in to submission just before the landing. For this you literally have to be superhuman though.

For the last one, it's like demetrious Johnson

 

[Ogata]

For the last one, it's like demetrious Johnson

Did he train with that crazy awesome judo/catch wrestler? Erik Paulson?

I remember Gokor and few sambo guys I train mention Johnson having a crazy wicked mentor who is a pretty much a wizard.

There is a reason Izzy was "The Last Stylebender".
