The (Not-so-Secret) Way of Dealing with Cardio-based Fighters.

Im just glad yan finally gets his rematch with the poodle

 

[Harlekin]

Yan did good work to the body, but it was only 12%.
He was doing great to the head.

i wonder if Yan actually proved this theory ive been running with that wrestler's got glass bodies (CCC,merab, DC, Bo)

Have you watched a wrestling practice. Nobody gets a beat up body like a wrestlers. Granted, that is a bit different than a strike but still, they beat the shit out of people's midsections. I think, if anything, they are more prone to take cumulative shots because they are too tough for their own good.

 

[Dr. Rose]

Rounds were measured differently back then: they weren't timed, a round simply ended whenever a fighter touched the ground. So every time you got knocked down, got thrown, or were getting pummeled (and needed to take a knee to escape) signaled the end of the round and you had 10 seconds (I'm pretty sure it was ten) to stand up at the line scratched in the sand (where we get the expression that someone is "up to scratch").

Anyways, in answer to your question, I'm not sure. They went until a fighter couldn't continue, which did result in some ludicrously long fights. I like the idea of it in theory (especially after watching Sak fight Royce for 90 minutes), but it seems impractical.

Around 10 seconds but it was not super precise. No such thing as unified rules and so it could easily vary from fight to fight (and an easy way to cheat a little bit if you throw something to the ref considering boxing then always involved gambling).

merab still had cardio.

yan was just more patient, made his shots count, and made merab pay for attempting TDs. (elbows to the wrist extensor muscles in rd 1)

In numbers, he didn't land that many body strukes, but each of them counted.
Yan must have broken some ribs with the first kick to get such a pain reaction at every body strike after that.

They are just hit in it way less than strikers. Just lesser defense and not used to being hit there as often

cardio-based fighters as the title says, are fighters based ones who build there rounds around their gas-tank to usually decision-win themselves into victory. names include, Sheva, Nate Diaz, covington, volk and of course, Merab Dvaleshanviegley. my username is based on my own combat background to which mostly is in Kyokushin-kai to which we were heavily taught that headhunting is a fool's game and a sign of impatience. going for the body is the way to start off the multiple man kumite or several rounds with one person. Chudan in Karate implies the body level and GSP famously employed such principles in the first two rounds of his matches before his style evolved to incorporate more variety.

Saturday night we saw that in which Yan's critical success was his body hits against Merab, similarly to how Islam going for the calf against JDM compromised his famous boxing.

Merab has the best cardio tank of all time and i dont even think it's close. going for the body with formidable mid-roundhouse kicks against him compromised his cardio. the science behind that is when your recovery cost is higher the body requires more torque in your strikes to make up for the recovery deficit so therefore even a gas-tank like merab, is compromised. why? he has to put in more effort in what he throws and eventually that takes a toll.

k i swear this was supposed to have more to it in my head but...so uh...yea...go body strikes lol

how much kyukushin have you trained? theres a legit school near me that i want to go to bad.

i went to another style and it was that point fighting, rush in with the 1-2s bullshit.

yeah ive 2 wrestling practices, nothing they do to their midsection really compares to absorbing body punches or kicks. wrestlers are very tough, i wonder what it is that make them especially susceptible to body attacks

 

[HHJ]

No one has ever thought to punch the opponent to the body, Yan was the first.

It's true

2025

the year of the body shot.

agreed. All the wrestlers named showed that they were affected when they got struck in their guts. Extra credit to cejudo though, because he tried to throw fire back the other way even though the pain he was in must have been excruciating

Yeah basically strikers have better body defense. You don’t see them being hit clean in the body often, and when they do, they look as in much pain as the wrestlers are lol

 

[Superzorro]

To be fair , getting your ass kicked by Yan is a lot less embarrassing than getting it kicked by Johnny Hendricks

I for one am just glad we're just off that "it's unbeatable unless we change the rules" nonsense.

Is it though? It can’t be based on skill and credentials. Hendricks will go down in the history books for two sports.

I think it is the force on a small surface area. Wrestlers when they get busted up in the midsection it is whole bodies landing on top of them. It is like the difference between getting hit in the stomach with a baseball or a basketball. Even at the same speed, the baseball will hurt more for at least two reasons: it is harder (so is the fist over a body) and it is a more compact and localized impact.
