Rampage Jackson: I'm a street fighter, not a martial artist (Video)

when saying that the men fight, sure.

When saying…if this were a street fight, Nick Diaz would have beaten Condit…then no, it is not understandable. There are too many variables to consider. The lack of rules being the main variable.

There is no set space so Condit’s continuous movement could not have been contained at all. Condit landed many leg kicks. For an experienced fighter, an adjustment to go from thigh to nuts is very simple. Intentional nut shot kicks from Condit could very well be life threatening. There are a plethora of weapons lying around on any given street. ETC, ETC, ETC.

There are rules for a reason. Attempting to make oneself feel better about “their” fighter by imagining scenarios where said fighter could have or should have won is unproductive to me. It makes no sense.

GSP couldn’t finish Fitch but that was a 5 rd ass wooping of epic proportions

if you don’t finish the guy, you didn’t win a fight.

Which is the crux of the “street fight” argument, yet it goes against what the basis of this sport truly is…determining winners within the rules set forth. It is impossible to create an environment that allows fights to go on until one person is finished. No chance of it being sanctioned ever, and very good possibility of fighter death eventually.

Remember when boxing was 15 round championships? Until they determined that the guys who died, died because of the late round blows.

Obviously I like to watch finishes, we all do, but I also like to see who wins, even if that means using the rules to exact that victory. I like watching chess games, that I am not playing in, as well.

This happens when there is a dominant champ.Much like gsp he goes out and now all of a sudden WW is the talk among all fans and media.

Lil Nog is dangerous and maybe they offered it when he could’ve snuck in against Bones.

Doesn’t pose the same speed and threat of punching. He has good power but he doesn’t have Henod’s power+predictability. I also liked how Hendo mixed it up with dirty boxing against Shogun, nice uppercuts.

And Rashad is a lot better at transitioning from striking to TD’s, he’s got great timing and he sets up his shots really nice. Bader doesn’t have the footwork to be in and out and frustrate Page by being elusive and he doesn’t set up the TD’s well enough for him to wrestle his way to a decision. There’s only a couple people in the world that could plant their feet and stand toe to toe with Page trading bombs and Bader isn’t one of those guys. I can’t see how he wins.
