Again another ignorant post about MMA... You know nothing about it how embarassing for you?It appears they cant defend against the punch because they donthave the benefit of a big bulky glove to protect there face!!!! Plus seldom can you Rely on traditional boxing defense in every situation since you have to watch for Takedowns,Clinches,Knees, Elbows kicks,etc...But you knew that!!! Stamina in question as well 3-5 rounds with a 5minute time limit while grappling with guys and carrying there weight then having to switch back to standup then down on the ground againif need be...

I am sure you knew alot about MMA and researced it intelligently before you posted on the subject...NOT!!! MMA and MO have nothing to be ashamed or embarassed about there world class athletes!!!...You should be embarassed for posting such crap...
Ive had 18 amature boxing matches, trained for 2 years at freestyle karate and have been grappling with a local Gracie Barra school for a few years.

MMA fighters dont know how to handle punches with or with out gloves, they look for the take down straight away, especialy in a street fight. When ive done mixed sparring with the brazilian jiu jitsu and with the freestyle karate guys, oh and with the traditional jiu jitsu guys my uncle trains at a local leisure centre they just get overwhelmed when you pressure with punches. Just like anyone going sparring the first time all they do is put there arms across their face and bend down, generaly k1 or ultimate fighters dont do this because they do some sparring with boxers but not hard sparring wher they learn to be effective with punches or not overwhelmed and panic.

Alot of mma fighters look embarrasing when theyve run out of stamina and stand up fight more to take a breather than because that is where they are more effective, they throw girly punches that wouldnt hurt or land without gloves on and just stand like windmills with their chins there for the taking, thats embarrasing, especialy when people like yourself stand up for them and say how great they are when mo is a prime example being beaten quiet easily and on the verge of being stopped by a bum, someone chosen because he was viewed as a soft touch
