Karate combat needs to add elbows
Actually Karate Combat needs to add low kicks to the thighs, because the below the knees only rule is ridiculous. Elbows are cool to execute but not so hot if you are on the receiving end. With elbows you always have a bloody mess with cuts and scars. I always think of KC as more of a gentleman's Muay Thai..
@@edwardsutherland3317 yes and more ground and pound
We'll see it in a modern form next January with Takeru VS Rodtang
Not if elbows and clinching are not allowed
Takeru is a kick boxer and MMA fighter. He definitely trained muaythai, so what is your point?
th-cam.com/video/SL_yu9F19f8/w-d-xo.html
I decided I would never return to karate after I started training in boxing and muay thai.
Karate combat
Same here. Too many gyms/dojos that don‘t do full contact sparring or realistic style of training.
Idk Karate pairs better with boxing Imo. Boxing is a mobile style. It's easy to create a hybrid without contradicting ether styles fundamentals much. Muay Thai is very much it's own complete system, with its own strategies. The upright more squared stance takes power out of the back hand and spreads it across both hands more equally. This is fine but coupled with the lack of mobility it hurts your punching power and defence against punches.
@@geoffparsons1952 looking at the karate kumite stance, I‘d say you're correct, but every style can be fused in to one style of dance. Dutch Kickboxing is a good example of having influences from Kyokushin, Muay Thai and Boxing
@@geoffparsons1952 karate combat needs to add elbows
When it comes to karate fighters against different styles never forget the great Andy Hug 🙏
I have trained kyokushin for 10 years took me 8 years to get my shodan (black belt) and while also entering kickboxing fights and doing kickboxing classes on the side but my main base has always been kyokushin, that’s what got me started. I will say kyokushin has its place for sure it’s legit the training is hard and the strikes are effective, but the style lacks head punch’s and head movement which is where you will be attacked in a real fight or street fight, also it lacks hands, we are trained to hit hard and punch threw the target where as with hands you need your hands to be quick and make them flow which they don’t , we punch stiff and hard and it’s noticeable
So just training MMA GYM
I've never trained kyokushin but your experience matches my observation. With that being said you are some intimidating martial artists. I really admire kyokushin black belts.
@@Dillon1099 karate combat needs allows elbows
@@emmanuelawosusi2365 I agree. I liked the short sleeve gi in their amateur tournament as well.
@@Dillon1099 yes
This is good against the Shotokan/sport karate stylist. For Kyokushin guys, you'd have to re-think. They don't fight in a bladed stance, but with square hips, they don't use side kicks much and they have incredible conditioning. They constantly train for being able to absorb absurd tons of damage and just walk through it so breaking them down like you would be able to do against a sport karateka will be very difficult. Their main weakness is certainly the lack of effective head movement since their competition format doesn't allow punches to the head so that's what I'd be going for. They also get separated in the clinch so they won't be liking finding themselves in one.
kyokushin k fighters are unbreakable lol i would cry and leave if i ever met one 😅😂
You can't just dismiss the fact they don't allow punches to the face... That's the most common way knock outs happen. People already get slept by left hooks all the time in Karate Combat.
@@jakechristensen9315that’s not even always the case plenty of kyokushin tournaments/schools which allow punches to the head
one thing that always confused me about kyokushin is the constant forward pressure, like they lean into each other with the techniques. That feels like it would make knees and sweep easy to setup, but I can't say for sure. Kyokushi fighters are weird.
@@Rotscrek The constant forward pressure is the mentality they're taught, bonus that they don't have to worry about face punches. Knees are allowed in virtually all Kyokushin Organizations and there's an abundance of knockout reels of head and body knee knockouts. As for sweeps, it depends on the organisation of competition, Enshin and Ashihara highlight compilations are full of them
I trained in Kyokushin Karate and Muay Thai at the same time. I love this combination for striking. My low kicks and my body conditioning is above the average of any fighting gym I have been in.
Doubling up on the toughness, having access to both strong and snappy kicks, all you need is a little boxing specific and you hole up the weaknesses of both (not including grappling)
i wish i could train in both at once i really like the movement of karate but it’s so hard to find a gym/dojo that teaches actually effective karate
@@midnut9036 go to a Kyokushin Karate dojo. There aren’t that many, but you will definitely learn how to hit and be hit. None of that point system fighting garbage that people know karate for.
@@user-wq4nf4dk3s true. Judo and Jiu Jitsu are next for me.
@@midnut9036Lots of mcdojo ou there. You're right.
Back when I was still doing Shorin-Ryu back in highschool I never really used the bladed stance like most karate practicioners. I always used more of basic kickboxing stance as I found it easier to throw most of my kicks from. Always felt like the odd one out, but it translated into full contact pretty nicely for me in the end.
Fellow shorin-ryu practitioner! I always noticed that. People ask about my head kicks and I go… uh, I think my karate class was different haha. I didn’t know what I was doing was different than the sport karate schools everywhere.
KickBoxing is MuayThai without elbows, right?
@@PLSCORPION227 excellent explanation
Yes but kickboxing have more boxing punsh and the stand is diffrend i never do kickboxing o muay thai but i see here alot video and for me i will like the kickboxing is like bruce lee you see hen the way he stand and like thad you will be more fast to youre kick and punsh .
I like this video a lot. I get very weary when people say a karate fighter will always do X against Muay Thai, and vice versa.
Fighting isn’t rock-paper-scissors, but there ARE tactics that work like that, and I think karate tactics do neutralize a lot of Muay Thai, and a lot of Muay Thai tactics do the same to karate. It’s not ALWAYS “the fighter, not the style,” because often it’s the right tactic at the right time.
I believe that in striking combat, distance ( range) and fight rhythm ( opportunity) are the two most important factors. How do you master these two factors? You need realistic training with teacher who has real fight experience at professional level.
It's interesting when a lot of people say "Karate vs Muay Thai" without knowing what kind of Karate. There are a lot of different styles of Karate, and different styles do different kinds of striking. Kudo Karate is vastly different from GojuRyu Karate, or Shotokan Karate, or Kyokushin Karate.
It doesn't matter what style of Karate you take. Unless you fight/spar full contact, hundreds of times like muay thai practitioners. It won't work. Even then you can't avoid learning the Thai clinch
@@kg8281 Another slight problem is that NOT ALL of them are willing to do compete full-contact to make adjustments and adopt certain tactics to help them from match experience.
I think that will benefit all TMA styles in general.
@@kg8281 >Even then you can't avoid learning the Thai clinch
The Thai clinch can be neutralized by Judo, which Kudo practioners does.
I gotchu!
1. exploit your strengths/ opponents weaknesses
2. Utilise the long guard/throw spinny stuff
3. Change levels / show respect for others techniques.
Another excellent video. Thanks Gabriel!
When a karate person knows how to spar I find it very awkward to fight them. They are often very high pressure and it can be annoying when you are trying to get into a rhythm.
Just got back home and this got me excited and thinking about my next training session already! Love the video and the tips! Definitely looking forward to the follow up
Yes please do more of these comparisons, love it!
Your tips are gold Gabe🏆 And your content is so varied. Keep up the good work.
Amazing tips for Muay Thai and Karate Gabriel, I honestly think a Muay Thai fighter, in order to beat a Karate fighter, has to close the distance, to land those sharp knees and elbows, and to try catching kicks, and sweeping the back leg of the karate fighters, and the karate fighter, should use his explosivity and footwork, to dismantle the Muay Thai fighter, as well as use spinning techniques, and punches that confuse and land on a Muay Thai fighter, overall such an amazing video Gabriel, thank you so much for making these awesome videos and breakdowns Gabriel!
I love these compare/contrast videos. Very informative. Thanks, Gabriel!
Glad you like them!
@@GabrielVargaOfficial karate combat needs to add elbows
@@GabrielVargaOfficial love the channel
Love this analysis. Breaking down any opponent is exploiting tendencies. This does a great job on it.
I do Goju-Ryu and I often spar with my Muay Thai fight often and I found this video to be very helpful.
Thanks for sharing!
Okinawa karate styles have a lot good hands, focusing on close quarters, which is why they use knees and elbows, like Muay Thai fighters.
Goju Ryu is a good close in-fighting style, adding tegumi/grappling. Lots of Okinawa techniques imply Okinawa wrestling
in general I agree with you, that many karate styles limit themselves especially when it comes to full contact. There are some that are more comprehensive, the style that I take and teach includes full contact, even to the face (on a limited basis for safety), stand up grappling, and ground fighting (mostly escapes to get back to the feet)...I think it mostly depends on the knowledge of the instructor and what he/she is willing to teach.
" it mostly depends on the knowledge of the instructor and what he/she is willing to teach." Concur. It's very difficult to find karate teacher with ample experience fighting at professional level.
Great video, more like this would be great to see.
Great stuff - really informative.
Great video, been trying to figure out what to do against a really good Karate guy at my Muay thai class, Thanks!
Great video
I’m interested in Muay Thai and kickboxing. Your videos have helped me a lot.
More episodes like this, please 🙏. You can make an entire series.
Thank you, coach
I would love to see more theoretical comparative videos. I also as a full contact karate practitioner agree with your assessment of the two styles and add that the bare knuckle training of the hard styles of karate also changes the way you fight and defend, as does the wearing of gloves. Karate does need to evolve a bit in its training to plug its gaps (as do all martial arts really) and I have been watching karate combat from the beginning to see if it would lead in a positive direction. So far, not really, but that is just my opinion. Looking forward to more great videos on top of the 100s you have already posted. Osu!
same
What’s up Gabriel can you make an updated video on fight camp ? Any supplements you take, foods to eat and what not to eat, and how to manages carbs and proteins and what works for you for better recovery and weight loss ! Thanks
One of the most dangerous Muay Thai fighter is one coming from a kickboxing background. Ramon Dekkers comes to mind. Incredible boxing combinations.
The muay thai fighters will have 150 fights and are only 18 years old. When an experienced Muay Thai fighter fights someone who doesn't have the equivalent experience it usually doesn't go well regardless of the martial arts discipline.
You may have already done videos on this, but could you talk about how you transitioned from traditional martial arts like karate to the more sport/combat focused styles like kickboxing? I have a traditional taekwondo background and want to move to kickboxing or muay thai and was wondering what tips you may have for making that switch. Thanks! You’re videos are always so useful and insightful
you can see this also during the fight Buakaw did agains the monk (look at it)… During early rounds The muay thai fighter was in difficulty but won in the end even if the monk was made of stone lol
I would like to see your take on a muay thai vs traditional bushido ju-jitsu.
P.S I really liked this video keep them coming 🙂
As a very average TKD practitioner , I rem my first Muaythai sparring years ago. A very average MT girl 30 pounds lighter than me chopping my thigh all the way and I felt so painful. Of course now she got no chance anymore 😊
As a Karateka, one must be able to learn to adapt and add new concepts to his/her training, being limited to Karate alone won't benefit you if your goal is to compete against other styles.
I think a significant part of why muay thai is more successful in combat sports than karate is that karate is more mired in traditions. Technically you shouldn't have to practice kata to learn how to fight like Stephen Thompson. Also yes the kyokushin point karate divide is substantial as people point out, but I think on broad strokes the things kyokushin guys bring to the table that muay thai fighters will be unfamiliar with are unorthodox kicks like point karate or tae kwon do guys too.
Yes, repeat that concept please.
Pretty much like kickboxing vs Muay Thai
love the concept of this. Would like to see BJJ vs Muay Thai, Kickboxing vs Judo, and maybe Boxer vs Kung-fu
I always catch your videos a few minutes after upload
I'm glad you enjoy them that much 🙏
@@GabrielVargaOfficial karate combat needs to add elbows
@@GabrielVargaOfficial great video
As a karate practitioner, I really suggest honing in on boxing If you’re going to start Sparring Muay thai guys that’s the only thing that saved me when I first started Muay Thai. That and having unorthodox kicks and movement from the karate. I wasn’t really able to catch up until I started integrating Muay Thai basics as well but I do think all three of those things complement each other very well. solid boxing, unorthodox movement in attacks from karate and Solid fundamentals from Muay Thai.
Unfortunately, I think there is a cap on karate striking but I think it compliments MMA a little bit more then straight up Kickboxing or Muaythai competition.
I think having a wider stance helps you deal with takedowns a little bit better than a narrow Muaythai stance but the pinnacle of striking is definitely Muay Thai
Have you done muaythai clinching?
Last month i signed at a kyokushin (with international athlets) after 5 years of muay thai and dutch kickboxing. I exposed to a very painful kicks and really hard to deal body punches. I never end my session walking limp
Westernized Muay Thai ala CSA's Gym or Duane Ludwig is the way to go: a mixture of boxing, muay thai, kickboxing, karate, mma etc. Martial arts that evolve with the times are the best ones. Jonathan Haggarty is the best example of this.
Kia ora from New Zealand, what style of Karate do you do/have you done Gabriel?
Thank you so much for this information! It's very helpful!
I believe that all martial arts are incredible regardless if it's Tae Kwon Do, Karate, Muay Thai, Kung Fu, Kenpo, etcetera!
I am trained in a hybrid style of Tae Kwon Do!
My experience is WT Tae Kwon Do infused with our dojang's unique style of Close Quarters Combat!
I also learn techniques that come from other martial arts!
Andy hug was on another level
I love both styles but I wanna train in Dutch kickboxing to help the Muay Thai hands
No matter which one you need to have 🦁❤
Thanks for the video Gabriel. Question: how can a kickboxer defeat a boxer?
Would love for you to breakdown Pete Cunningham the Karateka/American Style Kickboxer from Canada who never lost to a Nak Muay or Japanese Style Kickboxer.
I would love to see you evaluate World vs International Taekwon-do
Ashihara and many Kiokushin "spin offs" for example are quite respectable even facing Muay Thai. Point karate with no contact sparring on the other hand...
Training methods make a huge difference. I would say that's what makes Muay Thai so effective, although its arsenal also helps quite a bit.
I grew up practicing Karate - then started doing muay thai in my 30s. A guy in the class was explaining that one strategy was to kick the guy in the leg and chop you down. I remember thinking 'that is so dumb, i'll just do a downblock and then throw a straight punch' - i was in for a rude awakening. I came to love Muay Thai and it made me a much more confident fighter. Oh and yes, practicing getting punched in the face was so critical to that development. I wish i'd had Muay Thai as a kid.
Because we're Karate practitioners train point fighting too much, so it's not easy to go full contact sparring for them
I think Savate is a great bridging style for Muay Thai guys trying to learn, apply, and defend Karate Point Style Tactics and Techniques and for Karate Guys trying to get their Point Style to work in full contact.
I would argue that punching in Muay Thai is very regional. In western countries like the USA, there is a LOT more emphasis on the boxing part of Muay Thai and less on the clinch. I work as an official for a larger organization and this is what we see at tournaments and fight events. Also, with ONE and MAX there has been a big push for knockouts and keeping the action going, which is leading to more boxing in Muay Thai
I trained in karate, now I train in muay tahi/kickboxing, but still keep the defaults of karate 😹.
Love both styles.
They make rules so you can clinch knee elbow or anything that Muay Thai does very efficiently
Gabriel,
I would really love to see you do a collaboration between you and @StephenWonderboyThompson
I would be very interested in your impression having actually sparred with him. Recognizing that he's likely among the best karate strikers in history and seeing that collection of belts behind you makes me wonder how he'd stack up with higher level kick boxers from bigger organizations than the one he fought in.
sorry for long comment. TL;DR: kickboxing = full contact Combat sport version of karate. just like muay thai = combat sport version of muay boran. so a fairer comparison would be muay thai vs. kickboxing, whether dutch, japanese, or american, even if we're talking about kickboxers who haven't trained in traditional karate at all (so, more than just the karate representatives like rick roufus). similarly, few muay thai fighters have muay boran experience.
i have this crazy notion that karate is more equivalent to muay boran, not in terms of effectiveness or whatever but in terms of its role as a non- combat sport martial art. just as muay thai was an adaptation of muay boran as a combat sport, non-muay thai kickboxing is simply the adaptation of karate for combat sport. whether it's dutch style or japanese style (adaptations of kyokushin) or American (adaptation of shotokan and tkd for the most part). in terms of technique, but more importantly their historical origins.
point fighting is its own thing, mainly a compromise to have a competitive format more palatable for more conservative sensibilities, esp. in Japan, at the time. kyokushin lacking face punches was for similar reasons, but had an advantage when it involved more throws. but since those are off the table in most full contact striking sports, and also have been subtracted from competitive kyokushin since then, it had to be adapted into japanese and dutch kickboxing to compete effectively in full contact face punch formats.
Quite big diff btw Kyukushin, point-fighting-karate and old school Wado/Shotokan.
It will be interesting to compare Muay thai to karate if throwing and armbar are allowed, like UFC rules. Will this kind of rules change the comparison?
Catching the side kick and dropping an elbow onto the ankle bone while holding it in place as you stretch it often has a good result but you you have to be practised at it ..The Thai side kick is safer as you twist from a teep into a side kick after you see it has landed and pull back fast to avoid the elbow drop..spinning techniques are dangerous because if the muay thai jams it he can stike the back..In Thailand an elbow was allowed to the back of the neck when I was active so the spinning hook kick defense was to step in and catch it then catch the forehead from behind and slam the other elbow into the back of his neck ..It was so dangerous there was a 30000 baht bonus for a spinning technique knockout back then in the 80s..
Karate combat needs to add elbows
The beauty of Karate/japanese/Chinese technics - allow old people like me to continue training with a focus on health . Can’t do heavy fights/ sparring anymore . The Katas are a real joy and very useful when the Bunkai are done. Keeps the mind sharp, physical equilibrium etc. But bunkai are essential.
Muy Thai : very very hard to keep going after a while/older. Sadly. Maybe in Thailand, the true form
Has “katas”?
Much like boxing, the sport side of Muay Thai is for the young, and retired fighters often become coaches, but the older art of Muay Boran includes pre arranged forms that could be likened to "kata", not including the wai kru that traditional nak muay perform before matches
@@user-wq4nf4dk3s absolutely. It’s just that this discipline is really rare where I live . Don’t even know one coach.
Hi, can you please give me program of training at stadium there's small step stairs and there's another one big step stairs next to it with order and thanks 🙏🏽
I like Karate offensively but Muay Thai defensively like a mix of both styles
Is using footwork to switch between the bladed and squared stance viable?
I took a form of karate many years ago and remember a lot of the moves were really stupid and would be ineffective in any real form of combat.
Thus i feel like a lot of the styles are more about exercise than being effective at combat.
One day yous should soft spar with Sephen Wonderboy Thompson
I have always only done muay thai / kickboxing so i would not know if karate is good or bad because i have never tried it.
Systema Vs. No-Touch Master
There are 4 main types of Karate fighters/styles and they all fight very differently from one another:
American/Freestyle Karate: Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson
American Sport Karate (Point Fighting Kickboxing as it is known worldwide): Raymond Daniels
Federative/Olympic Karate-Do (Sport Karate/Point Karate as they call it in Europe): Rafael Aghayev
Traditional Karate-Do: Lyoto Machida
What about Kyokushin Karate.
@@kesenaememere8520 true! Forgot about that one.
You sound like someone who's never trained Karate and just watched MMA as if that's representative only of that martial art.
@@FreebyrdFayelanx I just gave some recognizable examples. But yeah, I don't know a thing about the subject. 😉
What happens when Karate and Muay Thai meet? You then create Dutch kickboxing and K-1 style
I started in muay thai and I absolutely love both style, especially the spinning kicks from karate. My friend once brought me to a karate dojo, however, the emphasis on kata and lack of any sparring or drills kinda put me off a fair bit.
In my opinion... Karate and muay Thai can be combined. Using karate at the beginning of a fight and kickboxing from middle to End. I do both styles and find that in general, karate doesn't work for me past round 2. My karate style is Shotokan. Deep stances, springy, lots of explosion and power, and for me after round 2, the dynamics of it become too tiring. So I shorten my stance and go more kickboxing with a focus on defensive string at closer range.
One thing Muy-Thai fighters are allergic is pearsing front kick.
Can you do a boxing versus muay thai video
MMA versus muay thai video is better. 🤪🤪🤪🤪
since Somrak a lot more Thais have great hands these days.
There are a lot of karates. I practice ashihara karate, which emphasizes conditioning, low kicks and takedowns. Not all karate is olympic points karate.
Karate Kyokushin have Striking, Grappling it's a nightmare for Thai fighters now against Shotokan I think Muay Thai have a Big advantage.
What happens when Karate meets Muay Thai? Last time that happened we got Japanese Kickboxing and Dutch Style Kickboxing.
The old Judo v Jujitsu
I had my first fight, i won first round according my coach and gym member, but when my opponent kick my body suddenly i pretend hurt just to quit. I just can't control my anxiety, don't know why probably I don't have fighter heart.😂
Only problem with this is that, you show footage of Andy Hug, a kyokushin fighter.... Who didn't do those snappy side kicks, preferring big low kicks and even spinning heel kicks to the thigh. A style that's full of leg chopping, a style that has insane conditioning and durability challenges.... If you want KYOKUSHIN karate vs muay thai, look at Akimoto's fights in ONE. WHich whilst being under kickboxing rules, are closer to MT's rules than sport karate. Gabriel, just google Kyokushin conditioning on youtube and you'll see hardened bodies that rival some of the great Thaiboxers. Lots of Kyokushin fighters are more than capable of checking kicks and firing back with powerful body shots, or returning with their own kicks. Dissappointing video, thought you had some understanding of Kyokushin since you've got Andy Hug in this video but I guess I was mistaken.
Look up people like Trevor Marriot, Kenji Yamaki, Aleksandr Eremenko, Yuta Takahashi, Darren Stringer, Ryu Narushima, Judd Reid, Alejandro Navarro, if you want to see a karate different to bouncy sideways side kicks.
You mentioned kyokushin but everything you mentioned about karate is very different from it
In my opinion Karate> muay thai in long range and curve balls/spinning/jumping techniques. And Muay Thai> karate in the pocket and for walking down someone.
I think Ancient Kyokushin have Better Chance of beat Muay Thai because this style have grappling skills and Muay Thai weakness it's the lack of Grappling.
Gabriel you forgot to mention that there are some karate practitioners who also mix boxing with the way they fight. Some of the best kickboxers in the world such as Hirotaka Asahisa and Jonathan Di Bella mix boxing + karate. Also karate has evolved since the days of Rick Roufus. A lot of karate practitioners now know how to check leg kicks, they also learn other martial arts some even practicing Muay Thai. There are many ways to avoid leg kicks, Savate fighters are excellent at this, and they usually beat Thai boxers in kickboxing rules.
Another karate practitioner who was successful against Muay Thai fighters was Pete "Sugarfoot" Cunningham. Check out Cunningham's second fight against Sagat Petchyindee. He showed how to beat Thai boxers.
In case of karate, make sure that we talk about kyokushin, ashihara or kudo. Any others are just kindergarten.
จะดรียกว่ามวยไทยก็ไม่ได้ครับ เพราะไม่มีการชกหน้า ไม่มีการกอดหรือใช้ศอก ช้างเผือกเสียเปรียบแต่เขาก็ยังสู้ มีข้อจำกัดข้อห้ามมากมาย
I dont understand why karate is not able to evolve to catch up with other more effective styles as Muay Thai
Karate practitioner gets beat up if they are at similar levels at all. The end. 😂
Kyokushin karate and Muay thai have powerfull strikes and can take much damadge, that comes from full contact, but Kyokushin does not fight with punches to the face, and Muay thai does ... Shotokan karate and Kickboxing have better movemant, Shotokan in and out and Kickboxing in escivation head movemant, but Shotokan is semi contact and Kickboxing is full contact ... OSU
Karate combat needs to add elbows ans back 🤜
Seidokaikan and Kudo kinda help fix that issue.
And, there are actually some karate federations where full-contact competitions out there that do allow head punching.
@@toyoseries karate combat should allow all the aspects of karate
They really stoped the fight when the karate fighter got punched 💀
all of the karate vs mt fights i have seen don't allow knees, elbows, clinch or punches to the face and in most of those the karate guys still lost, so i think it's safe to say mt is leagues above karate. if a mt fighter goes against a karate guy that is close to his size and has about the same level of experience in his sport and you allow only punches to the face and or the clinch the karate guy has near 0 chances of winning, with full muay thai rules there is absolutely no hope for the karate guy. i know there are exception to this but those are usually guys who cross-train or once in a few decades type of talents.
Hi
Comparison video : Bruce Lee vs mcgregor .
Or would you take a fight against Bruce Lee
Personally Connor would floor him in 30 seconds
I do not know One karate (traditional or sport) that could compete against Seinchai or Buakaw. Ueichi ryu… maybe. Not but have doubts . And against Let Wei: probably none.
And have been training in the 3.
Kudo probably, if they remove the helmets. Maybe another offshoot of Kyokushin that does head punching like Zendokai or Shin Karate like what Masaaki Noiri practises.
A karate fighter would need to transition and make some adjustments. Then, as we've seen in UFC, they can be very dangerous.
And there's even a couple guys like Wonderboy and Raymond Daniels who haven't changed much and still do incredibly well. But these guys are rare.
