World Combat League

[Von Milash]

the problem with mma is not that its soooo simple like a streetfight. Its that getting it right takes total dedication to the sport for years. only a select few to this point have mastered the sport in the way it was ment to be. GSP. SILVA. FADOR. PENN

In my opinion the WCL fighters need to work on there defence. It always seems like there just trading punches and hoping to win by volume.

Truth to both statements. Only now are we seeing guys in mma who are truly (I'm gonna sound like that idiot Rogan here...) "world class." Until recently it seemd that the champ was a big fish in a small pond. That is changing. Guys are becoming highly skilled.

Also, you are right about the second point. first off, those wcl fighters are lower exchelon kickboxers, IMO. They'd never survive on a world level like K1, and if they try to be counter punchers they'll be deducted points. I think this forces them to brawl a bit more than they'd like.

MMA is about gameplans and sticking to them.(unless you're Wanderlei Silva)

True it can seem slow and you sometimes see some slow controlled ground fighting. But it depends on the fighter.

You have guys like Jake O'Brian and the old Josh Koscheck, who use their wrestling to slowly wear down their opponents and win via decision.

And then you have guys like Anderson Silva, who has finished and beat his last 9 opponents(8 of them by the second round) and Wanderlei Silva(goes all out every time) who are undeniably exciting to watch.

I just don't like people to watch three or four fights, usually in a small organization, and use that as a testament to how MMA is.
