A pro kickboxer would destroy a pro MMA fighter in a street fight anyday

[puzzycrookz]

If someone like Khabib tried grappling close in a street fight, they'll just be neutralized with eye gouging, balls squeezing, or biting. You can't do that with a pro kickboxer since they keep their distance and work you with powerful kicks.

[Mr Beer]

Realistically a "street fight" is won by the sneaky kunt who pretends it's all good and they don't want to fight, then they clock the other guy from behind with a brick.

[elterrible987]

I agree but really a strong street fighting background beats either

[hendrixfreak70]

Oh ok. Good to know.

[kusok]

No lol

MMA fighters are far better at eye pokes than kickboxers, they get lots of practice eye poking due to MMA gloves VS boxing gloves that don’t allow this.

MMA fighters are far more skilled at knees and elbows, not to mention headbutts and of course clinch that kickboxers don’t do unless they are MT fighters.

Takedowns and submissions are super effective in 1 v 1 fights, and wrestling is super effective all around. MMA fighter has far more tools than a kickboxer. Even in straight up kickboxing they often don’t allow savat kicks etc. while MMA fighters would do that instantly.


If you had to pick one fighter to help you in a street fight you should take someone who is good at striking (both boxing and kicking, as well as knees and elbows preferably), and has good grappling to avoid takedowns and holds. You should take Jon Jones for example. Any kickboxer is getting taken down and submitted by Jones in 10 seconds or less. 100%

[Abzu]

You think a tall guy that has to stand on one leg to strike is going to beat a good wrestler?

LOL

Have you heard of Anthony Smith's home invasion? That little fuker was scary as a mfer let Anthony tell it. All the kid did was wrestle him lol.



EDIT: Just realized you said MMA fighter...

[EidFnatic]

Great thrad.

Still can't believe that Jones has been taken down only twice in his career. And only to bounce back up in a second.

Until they eventually throw a bad shot and get hit with a double leg takedown as punishment.

Also, wouldn't the MMA fighter also be able to bite, ball squeeze and eye gouge too?

Doesn't make too much sense if you ask me.

How is the MMA fighter going to squeeze the dude’s balls when the boxer is keeping distance? If the MMA fighter takes it to the ground, it’d be even because they both would be squeezing each other’s balls or biting until one passes out or they both just end up letting go and standing back up.

Tranny crew pls go *******

[Duckliver]

I mean original vale tudo rules were just no eye gouging or fish hooks. And grappling only ended up with dudes squeezing each other’s balls some of the time!

[EidFnatic]

This thrad was great. 'tis now even better.

[TonyTriangles]

not sure if srs. melvin manhoef was a pro kickboxer and tapped from sexiyama's judo greatness. crocop was one of kickboxing's goats and he lost to MMA fighters

[StainlesSon]

You realize mma includes kick boxing? apparently you dont, you see, in the mixed of mixed martial arts, there's actually kick boxing too

[MuslimBrahSwag]

Lol. Try to gouge khabibs eyes buddy. If youre not preoccupied with batteling against his arms your going to be taken down in exactly 1 second and have your face kicked in.

Trust me, kicks are completely useless in street fights. Only thing that matters on the streets is boxing/elbows/headbutts/wrestling and soccer kicks. srs

[PaulAllen1995]

this is such a stupid debate....

[sooby]

what a low IQ thread

Was mevlin and crocop allowed to squeeze ballz to get out of the clinch? I didn't think so

[Mr.PissShivers]

Khabib is such a terrible example for this argument.

[I3igAl]

Totally authentic footage of a kickboxer in a barfight.



The only thing more dangerous than his fighting skillz are his dance moves. Just look at the scrawny guy in the blue shirt getting cucked.

[Nicklol]

what do you consider a "pro kickboxer" op?

the bar for that is really low.

do you even know the history of kickboxing?
have you watched the old k1 fights and now glory kickboxing?
a lot of those guys are just bums.
My gym has a few guys who fought in glory and (and also the ufc) and only had like 4 fights to their name.
Some guys ascend and really just understand fighting and the movements but the rest are just card fillers who are punching bags with cte
and some of them will never be able to carry over to mma successfully. Even poor gokan saki got ko'd in the ufc =(

Any with 20+ wins and less than 10 losses

[pandaboy89]

I’d destroy them both srs

by definition of your thread, a pro kickboxer won't have any idea about distance in regards to mma. All it would take it a few jab feints, level change feints and your pro kickboxer won't know whats up.

Izzy has great distance work cause hes been training mma for 10 years.

thats because kickboxing is chit tier standup. kb<<<<<<<<<<<<<boxing<MT

Thats why you have guys like RvR way bigger and stronger get dominated by someone like Sittichai, when sittichai comes from an 8 limb sport yet out classes RvR in his own sport that he specializes in that only requires hands and kicks
