I wouldn't take back wrestling in HS, but I could do without my nose being so destroyed I can't sleep on my right side. Or my destroyed left shoulder, and everything on my body popping when I first get up haha.
Watchin mma as a kid improved my amateur wrestling irl. For some reason, wrist control was never talked about during practice, but I was abusing it out there on the mats once I realized it was an option. You can pick up some stuff by watching the pros man fr.
If hand fighting, 2 on 1, etc was NOT part of EDD - Every Day Disciplines - it makes me wonder the quality & level of Coaching available to you & your Team. This is fundamental teaching that should start in Elementary School Wrestling
yeah it's pretty hilarious how i saw in pro wrestling how long it took someone to fake go to sleep and then get back up while still in the choke, then learn that it only takes seconds and you're not waking up at all till they let go🤣
I don’t really think it’s proper to call Jon Jones a “heel.” Most heels just pretend to be villains, in order to get people interested in fights. Jon actually insults people’s families, cheats with roids, attacks strippers, hits people with his car, and does other evil stuff. Jon Jones is genuinely a psychopath.
He's got an over inflated ego, poor judgement, and serious substance abuse issues. Idk, maybe he's evil, or maybe, in the words of the great Rick James, cocaine is a hell of a drug.
Jon dehumanizes his opponents in the cage, he fights to injure and mame, mostly legal bar the eye poles, but the way he just ruined glovers arms during their fight, or how he dismantled guys like Cormier is crazy. His “loss” against Matt is even worse, when you see Matt’s face it looks like Jones was targeting the eyes, May’s eyes were bloody and swelled shut, Jones literally took away a deaf guys sight (thank god not forever) but he’s like a cat man, they know exactly where to slash you, bite you and slice you in the worst places, Jon is so scary, in a different life I’m convinced he would be a rapist or a killer, like imagine if he wasn’t in the like light and never got caught for these things
Never lost a round damn it!! Tito tapped, Jones's toe exploded, fedor ran away and hasn't been heard from since, and Mr wannanow wasn't aloud to get close.
@@purplerangergaming6045 yeah totally makes sense that a giant territory in Canada speaks French and has tried to break away from Canada. It just goes without saying to us COMPLETE GENIUSES. Try to imagine a world where you can actually stop and reflect on something. That is actually what lots of humans do! F'ing weird right?
I learnt that straight punches beat looping punches.. Just keep putting in the work at whatever you do instead of over thinking and you'll get the results
I learned shifting/switch hitting is a viable method of attack. In boxing there's not many switch hitters but in MMA stance switching is way more common. Also Lobbying probably shouldn't be legal.
Switching stance in mma opens up a lot of strikes that you may otherwise not be able to land as effeciently. For example if you're facing an orthodox fighter and you switch to southpaw you will have an easier time taking the outside foot advantage making it easier to land ur shot first and it opens up the rear roundhouse directly to the liver.
Holy shit, given that English is my second language MMA really expanded my vocabulary on all of those topics. Entertainment and knowledge with a side of brain trauma... What a sport! Love ya, Tommy.
Usually these videos are a bit repetitive but I give this one real props for the effort and thought. It is easy to take for granted the things we learn along the way when we didn't even realize we were learning!
The international aspect of the sport is always fascinating. Stories like Francis Ngannou's and Charles Oliveira's are just incredible. And as much as I love Khamzat, I also find his relationship with Ramzan Kadyrov more than a little disturbing.
@Palestine Adesanya Are you comparing Trump to a guy who is accused of kidnapping, assassination, and torture of human rights activists, critics, and their relatives?
My favorite mma on point video thus far! Number 1 is the absolute number one reason why im so hooked on mma. I love the ufc countdowns that set the scene for the fights, giving you a look into the fighters background and how they got to where they are. Ive gotten so bored of american sports and football (soccer) just doesnt do it for me but mma is the uncrowned king of international sports.
Watching other fights as someone who's learning how to fight is like film study. Formerly playing football, we watched practice film and other teams games to learn formations and routes for RBs/WRs/etc.. and watching fights is no different, Except watching fight films is WAY more fun than watching football film 💀
@@ihateyoutubecomments8100 y’know, you could’ve just said “I like Jones and have a strong personal attachment to him so I feel insecure and personally attacked when people call him out for the disgusting things he’s done”. That would’ve still gotten your message across lol. Maybe, in the future, don’t idolize a person you have zero personal relationship with?
I regret not wrestling or doing combat sports when I was younger. I feel it was my calling and I missed the last bus. Theres always living vicariously though my kids when I have ‘em, yay.
When I was a kid thanks to the movies I thought if you knocked somebody out they were out for like an hour, after watching MMA and seeing tons of knock outs I now know that’s just not a thing. Whenever I watch a movie now and a “bad guy” gets KO’d my mind immediately goes to Jessica Eye, Alistar Overeem and Ben Askren getting flat lined and then getting back up within 5 minutes.
Watching that cowboy v Tony fight a year later I was drunk and fell on my face and cracked my orbital bone my drunk ass knew not to blow my nose because of that fight lmao
Never drink too much, lad. I'm a heavy drinker too but I know where to stop whenever I feel like I am going to fall down orn gonna get tripped eventually.
I learned how to guillotine from watching mma as a kid. I got better at it from wresting my friends and eventually used it in two street scuffles. It helps that I’m six foot eight and both were standing guillotines. If you don’t know being way taller than your opponent gives almost unfair leverage for a standing guillotine
@@trevorwhitaker9082 you’re the kinda guy that when they see me in public they ask if I played basketball, what size shoe I wear, and if my parents are tall
the bleeding thing is the one main stream cant understand, they see the blood on the face and think "wow that's so brutal" not understanding thats one of the lightest injuries some one can have in an contact sports, (thats why wrestlers use to cut themselves all the time, it looked brutal but was really nothing )its the sports with high impact, high "armor" and rarely you see blood that are the most brutal, boxing, nfl, god even pro wrestling is alot more brutal and dangerous (long term) than mma. (which is why i always respected pro wrestling)
This was an extra great video chaps! The PED entry had my laughing. And you made a lot of good points about things that I learned without even realizing it.
I'll start with my list. #1 I learned what a hematoma was from joanna. #2 any and all injuries to the body like a torn meniscus or a separated cornea. #3 that striking isn't the most dominant form of combat "imo" no one thinks a wrestler or a jujitsu guy would beat a boxer. Now I know better. #4 I've learned who's winning a fight boxing and MMA. Before you'd never know who's winning until the judges had the final verdict. Now I know what forward pressure is and just who's having more success in a fight. These are just small things that come to mind
The one time I was attacked by an angry man much bigger than me, I was able to cancel out his size and attack by holding him close to me until he tired, which I could feel when it happened. I attribute that to my being an MMA fan, even though I'm not a fighter.
This was a good one. Way to think outside of the box. You should do more of these that aren't necessarily inspired by the most recent card, but something a bit more philosophical.
I’m right there with you dude. One of the biggest regrets of my life is not doing wrestling in high school. Even tho I know I wouldn’t have been great at it
This might be my favorite one yet. Sending this to every MMA fan I know. Really reminded me of how much I have to be grateful for in this sport. Thank you
Never took jui jitsu in my life. After becoming a hardcore mma fan I’ve submitted my friend who does jui jitsu and learned armbars, rnc, guillotine’s and a few more from just watching.
I was driving to work tonight listening to “your welcome” and I thought of a possible video. Top ten mma championship fights where the replacement fighters won. If volko beats the 55 guy as the replacement that would be the inspiration for the list
Yesterday I wss watching this clip where these two guys got into a fight after a car accident. I was going "Punch,takedown, top control, ground& pound, and that's it". It just shows me how much I've been watching this channel.
6:57 and ears like heads of cabbage. In high school I always tried to NOT get in fights with wrestlers. If they get you to the ground, it's over. And they have a million ways to get you to the ground.
Wrestling is by far one of the greatest things I’ve ever used or choose to learn in my life. I use mma to help with set ups and training drills when I coach wrestling sometimes.
@@thehighcommunity247 “Here in my garage, just bought this new Lamborghini here. It’s fun to drive up here in the Hollywood hills. But you know what I like more than materialistic things? Knowledge.

Hey, I'm an exercise physiologist and your "muscles aren't everything" point can go even deeper. As a muscle becomes larger, the tendon will pull on the insertion point at a more perpendicular angle (because the muscle belly pushes the center of the muscle further away from the underlying bone). When this happens, the insertion will move a shorter distance for a given distance of muscle contraction. Since contraction speed doesn't change a whole lot, that means that as a fighters muscles get larger, their movement will get slower (something we all already know, but most of us probably chalked it up just to having more mass to move around, which is certainly the main factor, but not the only one). Since they also have more mass but slower movement speed, that means that power may or may not increase as a result of having larger muscle mass. Every fighter will likely have a sweet spot for size depending on fiber type proportion, limb proportions, muscle insertion points, fighting style, and so many more factors. So, even aside from technique, muscle size doesn't inherently mean all that much.
As a wrestler, coach and referee; thank you for the compliment and acknowledgment. I did MMA too, and sprawling, hand control, bottom movement, and shooting takedowns in general are our contributions to the sport
Whats even funnier about the mma/pro wrestling connection is that the class action lawsuit against the ufc pertaining to what constitutes as an independent contractor has literally been a huge topic of discussion regarding wwe and their similar contracts with their talent roster. This channel should do a list on how eerily similar vince mcmahon and dana white are
I was watching this clip where two guys got in a fight and I was just counting things off: punch,takedown,top control, ground£, and then saying this would already be over if it was a MMA fight. Keep in mind that all I know about MMA comes from this channel and Fight Focus.
Possibly one of the most important episodes you have done. Those who follow this sport closely are (accidentally) more informed than the general public. And many of us didn’t realize it. Tommy, you ARE a doctor!
I got into MMA at age 8 and wrestling my freshman year (karate, judo, and boxing growing up). Can def say when a wrestler sees each other its like "fren, you suffered the way I did :3" It really builds that bond, literally I don't need to know the details, I know if you even stuck out one season, you're worth your weight when crap hits the fan. Wrestling training is borderline masochistic but I wouldn't change it for the world, I'm pulling 18yrs that think im 22 (im 31) all by just keeping up wrestling lifestyle and mentality
My shadowboxing in front of the mirror looks pretty good, ngl mma helped me. I think my striking is on par with the likes of Yan and Adesanya based on my speed and power.
I remember watching the ultimate fighter season 4 and learning so much from Matt serra. So much that a few weeks later when my roommates were drunk and wrestling I was coaching the losing roommate on how to escape back control. 🤣
I bet the Reebok deal REALLY trimmed away the international fighter spectrum down to nothing of what it could be. The roster would probably be 86% international fighters. Brazil fighters were decimated by it, and Vitor alone lost MILLIONS from it. Imagine an up and coming brazilian fighter just trying to get started. It seems truly impossible unless you have major connections.
It's interesting to hear him talk about wrestling and learning of it as an MMA fan. I wrestled in high school so came from the opposite direction: wrestling fan learning about MMA. Definitely saw the influence of wrestling. And Cauliflower ear is extremely common lol. Thankfully my dad harped on wearing a headgear so I have barely noticeable cauliflower ear, which I actually got in the off season practicing without it.

It really builds that bond, literally I don't need to know the details, I know if you even stuck out one season, you're worth your weight when crap hits the fan. Wrestling training is borderline masochistic but I wouldn't change it for the world, I'm pulling 18yrs that think im 22 (im 31) all by just keeping up wrestling lifestyle and mentality
My shadowboxing in front of the mirror looks pretty good, ngl mma helped me. I think my striking is on par with the likes of Yan and Adesanya based on my speed and power.
i think you are ready for your first mma fight
Yeah I agree, me too after shadow boxing for a couple of days I feel like I could outstrike most of those guys
Time for Street Beefs.
You are ready for the sugar show
I learned that both fighters in the octogon have had custody custody battles for their children
Professor Brock is the real life version of Hulk from Endgame

They didn't have wrestling in my highschool until the year AFTER I graduated!
"be'uh"
I love it, mate. We're like broves

I have learned every card for the past 12 years that calf kicks have changed mma
Glad amature wrestling is getting shout outs in the media.
Respect to the lil ultimate frisbee bit 💪🏼☝️
I wrestle rn and love the sport I’m a top 215 pounder in the state of Oklahoma
This kind of fits into #1 but I learned so many flags I wouldn’t know since watching ufc
I remember watching the ultimate fighter season 4 and learning so much from Matt serra. So much that a few weeks later when my roommates were drunk and wrestling I was coaching the losing roommate on how to escape back control. 🤣
I bet the Reebok deal REALLY trimmed away the international fighter spectrum down to nothing of what it could be. The roster would probably be 86% international fighters. Brazil fighters were decimated by it, and Vitor alone lost MILLIONS from it. Imagine an up and coming brazilian fighter just trying to get started. It seems truly impossible unless you have major connections.
It's interesting to hear him talk about wrestling and learning of it as an MMA fan. I wrestled in high school so came from the opposite direction: wrestling fan learning about MMA. Definitely saw the influence of wrestling. And Cauliflower ear is extremely common lol. Thankfully my dad harped on wearing a headgear so I have barely noticeable cauliflower ear, which I actually got in the off season practicing without it.
I wish the UK had wrestling in schools looking back, I’ve always loved BJJ and after trying wrestling I realised my body type was basically perfect for it.
I learned to be thankful I never got into mma when I see some bad knockouts and beatdowns
The editing in this one was on point
Props for the "community" reference

Jon has taught us so much about the law and roids then anything....The Goat of cell block 6
What I learned from fighting is that a lot of people personal fighting styles are woven by their personalities and background
