Why dont ufc fights in like street fight?

Pavement to bounce the back of your head off of when you fall down.
 
I've always theorized pro fighters are conditioned athletes so their bodies take a ko better. I dunno. Maybe bro science but someone that can't even jog a mile is probably gonna look like they died if they got ko'd
 
Rock em sock em robots fights tend to end like that.

Besides street fights are potential life or death encounters and mma is a sport. 2 totally different things.
 
I think theres a few reasons for it.

People don't know how to fight. So they just throw big punches at each other, and usually someone gets slept fast. Also, if you're going to be so angry that you're going to risk an assault charge, you're probably intoxicated.. Which from what i've noticed, leads to you getting KTFO easier.
 
KO's in streetfights often look brutal because 95% of the time they only involve one willing participant.
And it's a little harder to sucker punch someone in a cage fight.
 
Multiple reasons, one being that often street KO's are sucker punches that one guy isn't expecting. Really easy to KO someone when they don't see the shot coming.

Secondly, people in street fights don't really know how to roll with shots or use their shoulders to block shots.

And its human instinct to lean back when a punch is coming for you to avoid it, but that puts you off balance and leaves your chin in the air ripe for the taking. When you're trained in boxing you know to use side to side or ducking head movement and use footwork to get away from shots instead of leaning back.

That's exactly how Anderson got KO'd, actually. Leaning back while standing still instead of using his footwork to back up.

Watch him get KO'd stiff:

Nice thread, you must have watched quite a lot of MMA

After you've trained for a long period of time, you acquire some ineffable defensive qualities.

By that I mean you're naturally flexing/relaxing at the right time while being hit, you acquire a kind of vision for strikes (where you see parts of their body shift and inherently know where the blow is going to try and land), and an intrinsic flow where you turn with shots, removing a lot of force from them.

Still, even with experience pros, it's the shots you don't see. It's why combinations work so well, and you want to go high, low, high, etc.

Partly this, you can definitely "learn to get hit".

Yup. Lack of defensive technique leads to great KOs.
Instincts can fool you a lot in fighting situations if you're untrained. Most people that try to defend an armbar for the first time usually do the opposite of what they should.
 
A KO is often mistaken for a TKO a KO is when they go stiff or their muscles contract and a TKO is when they get knocked silly such as their equilibrium gets knocked off balance and they cover up and the ref stops it and one of the loud mouths goes "Its all over" so and so wins by knock out but listen to what Bruce Buffer says, Herb Dean called a stop to the action and your winner by TKO. Their is no mistaken a true knock out or level 3 concussion, You really know in person because they will start breathing like a warthog or some shit kinda like snoring but not a normal snoring
