The stupid thing is that the TKD guy apparently spent the whole day pestering the promoter to let him fight.
Also LOL at entering a MMA match without even enough grappling knowledge to know that you shouldn't move away from regaining guard if you are under side mount.
It is pretty ignorant to say one style of martial arts is better than another. Lets see you use a Jiu-Jitsu kick to someone's head... Oh, wait... that's right, where is the kicking technique from Jiu-Jitsu?
Each discipline has it's own benefits. To go into a fight just knowing how to grapple and not strike isn't smart, conversely the same is true with knowing how to strike and not grapple.
I've trained in Taekwondo for 2 years and I've learned how to deliver hard kicks...that's it. I know just using Taekwondo in any of my fights I'd get destroyed, same thing with using Jiu-Jitsu. This is why EVERY last good MMA fighter learns multiple disciplines. Not one style is completely better than another style in every way. What makes someone successful is to be able to utilize each style when it is needed.
...and just for the record, make taekwondo one of the last styles you learn, it is rarely used in a fight and it is used even less in a fight effectively.
Yeah, as a matter of fact, Jiu-Jitsu is superior. Just watch the early UFCs back when all the fighters were one dimensional and see how that turned out.
One of the things about the fighters back in the early days of the UFC is a lot of the fighters practiced and trained fighting against other strikers. On top of that, the Gracies were much better trained in their style.
Hoyce trained to fight against strikers, the strikers trained to fight against strikers. Hoyce wasn't a one dimensional fighter, everyone else was. Any one dimensional fighter will lose, regardless of their discipline.
TKD does have some decent kicking. And yes it is good to cross-train, especially in both striking and grappling.
But when you match pure styles against each other in a straight up fight Jits kicks the ever loving shit out most other martial arts.
So yes it is far "better" than TKD.
I trained TKD for at least 2 days a week for a few years. Got my black belt, but I found my skills had plataued, only really useful for sparring and whatnot. Sure, I could kick hard and do a flying side kick with a decent range. But really, that shit's just not useful in a street fight.
Was good for flexibility, fitness, and the odd girl or two. But at the end of the day, I regret not spending my time and money elsewhere (Kung-Fu or Jiu-Jitsu come to mind)
Hoyce was absolutely a one demensional fighter. Did you ever see him KO a guy? Of course the strikers trained against strikers no one had ever seen that kind of jiu-jitsu before.
thank you xzekiel, that shit was getting annoying...and in my opinion any fighter with a base in either BJJ or wrestling will fair better in a MMA fight than those without...
TKD is fun for exercise and it's good for learning flashy-looking kicks (Bruce Lee learned TKD to make his movie fights look more exciting), but it's pretty much worthless in a real fight.
Because the smaller guy was pestering the promoter and generally acting like an annoying faggot to try and get a fight, any fight.
Therefore, said promoter didn't feel to bad about giving him a catch weight match against an experienced fighter.

Retard got what he deserved.
Taekwondo is for faggots i say. Jiu Jitsu is way better and has more rationality to it.

Jiu Jitsue is tactically possibly the most effective martial art on the planet for MMA bouts. And TKD is faggy. Muay Thai ftw.

think you tards mean royce gracie
It is pronounced Hoyce. The Brazilians pronounce names that start with the letter R with an H sound.
yes. but it is spelled royce.
thank you xzekiel, that shit was getting annoying...and in my opinion any fighter with a base in either BJJ or wrestling will fair better in a MMA fight than those without...
I know how its spelled. I didn't want to confuse the TKD guy.
TKD is fun for exercise and it's good for learning flashy-looking kicks (Bruce Lee learned TKD to make his movie fights look more exciting), but it's pretty much worthless in a real fight.
it's so funny how now that Ultimate Fighting is so popular everyone is a fucking expert on fighting
I don't see the humor in it...
Hahahahahahahaha!
I lol'd as well...and Ashley Blue is still ugly.

He should've followed up with the People's Elbow for good measure.
Fags
Says the guy who enjoys wearing tight shorts and rolling around on the floor with other guys.
thought you were quoting a UFO song...
There is nothing at all gay with gaining a back mount on a guy and pounding him.........
I agree.
Manny you're so wrong. when ryoga fights, he's the only one on the ground. The other dude is kicking the shit out of him while he cries
I wasn't talking to Ryoga.
I take all the uneffective and useless stuff from all of the martial arts and put it into one style. Mucho-kwon-doh!
and into your comments
and into his poop chute.
Why was he fighting someone no where near his weight limit?
Because the smaller guy was pestering the promoter and generally acting like an annoying faggot to try and get a fight, any fight.
Therefore, said promoter didn't feel to bad about giving him a catch weight match against an experienced fighter.
He was faster.. he just needed to drink more Milk...
more 'roids would help too....
since when is 200 lbs. middle weight?
OMFG are you FUCKING serious you retarded monkey?
That's just terrible.
