I read a few years ago that Donnie Yen was a huge UFC fan and hoped to compete at one time. Age and injuries put a stop to it though. That would have been must see tv.

Most people that I’ve trained with that have taught me sambo taught me it as mostly grappling. I know it’s more combative than just wrestling. Saying I have no clue what I’m talking about is a really good come back. I’ve been doing martial arts for almost 20 years since I was eight years old I know a little about what works and doesn’t work.

They stop the fight when you are defenseless. If a fighter is still protecting themselves on the ground, the fight continues and he is given a chance to continue the fight.

If he turns over and covers, the ref stops it because it’s clear he doesn’t want to fight back.

If he isn’t protecting himself, the ref stops the fight.

As someone mentioned, boxing is actually worse when you get knocked down, you are given time to recover and then the fight continues and more blows to the head are received. Get knocked down again, you are given more time to recover only to get back in the fight and take more punishment.

Boxing may SEEM more humane, but the quick finishes in MMA are actually not as brutal on your body as the sustained punishment in boxing.

The fact that this got overwhelmingly downvoted shows how ignorant and stupid this board this.

Boxing is a much more dangerous sport.
