My favorite part of Bas Rutten is his self-defense in real life videos that you slowly realize are actually tapes describing how to attack someone without them being able to respond. Like his barfight video. "This guy might attack someone. I should probably hit him in the balls with a chair and then bada bop his head off the corner of the bar."

On youtube there's a highlight video of him wrecking people with body shots in Pancrase. Anytime you see Rutten in budgie smugglers and knee high boots/pads expect to see someone die from a body shot or cool submission.

The highlight DVD he did commentating his Pancrase fights is entertaining enough. His second fight with Funaki and the Frank Shamrock fight are probably the best to check out.

His two fights in the UFC are worth seeing (TK and Randleman), both were controversial as hell at the time.

I understand training hard for an upcoming fight and whatnot but beating the poo poo out of each other in training and then getting knocked out of the fight/payday you are training for because of an injury like a cut seems really pointless and it seems like it happens fairly often.

Why aren't they wearing headguards/faceguards if they're going to go at it that badly during training sessions? I mean it's not going to give you the true fight experience or whatever but being able to make it to the octagon has to be better than not at all.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: sometimes passing just isn't an option.
Do headguards actually prevent knockouts? I've always thought that at best they just impair your peripheral vision, which probably leads to more concussions due to you not seeing punches coming at you.

If you don't spar hard you'll end up like Brock Lesnar, a guy with a decent chin who still crumbles the minute he gets hurt.

Research shows that headgear blunts the impact to your head.

Dude just think of the physics... the headgear allows the impact to be spread out over a wider and larger surface area, therefor reducing the amount of force to any one point of impact aka BLUNTING the impact. Headgear does not prevent being knocked out, as the "majority" (don't have any sources for this) of knock outs are the result of unanticipated rotational force of the head, of which headgear does not provide much prevention against.

Yes, it protects you somewhat against the concussive force. That being said it's not going to stop you injuring your brain, being knocked out or CTE. It's also more designed and used in the modern fight game to stop people from getting cut.

Julio Cesar Fatass

I don't have the link to the abstract handy, but it was a study from the Cleveland Clinic. They found that headgear does a good job blunting force from in-line impacts, not so good a job with impacts caused by rotation.

But even by adding mass to your head, it'll have more moment of inertia to resist torque impulses. Lt. Shiny Sides linked a study in the martial arts thread showing that overall, headgear did reduce acceleration from punches (and I would surmise all strikes). But striking and head trauma is far more sophisticated than just that. That said, most pros do train with headgear. Many use gloves when doing everything but fine-grained submissions.

Thermos H Christ

The fact that the headgear can compress (a lot more than a skull anyway) must do something to reduce the acceleration of the head due to any given strike. That sort of leads back to the old argument about whether boxing gloves end up causing more brain damage via more repetitive low-level injury, but a single blow is surely at least somewhat less likely to knock you out when wearing head gear.

If you're talking about the Gustafsson cut, he didn't get it from a punch or a kick during a sparring session. He was doing wrestling drills and he lost his balance and hit his head on a post.

Because very early on in the development of the unified rules, some of the regulators watched a karate breaking competition and decided that looked "too dangerous".

That's the Joe Rogan version of events. According to Big John McCarthy it had to do with a doctor involved in the original NJ sanctioning discussions:

quote:

because New Jersey wasn’t comfortable with Mixed Martial Arts at the time, there were a couple of fights that went on to change things as far as what they were going to permit and not permit.

You have all these different organizations, and you have all these people with what they want to be able to do, so it’s tough to get people to agree on things. Finally, one of the things that was brought up is in one of the fights a fighter took another guy’s back and tried to sink in a choke. He couldn’t sink in the choke, so he started taking his hand and bringing it up and elbowing to the back of the guy’s head and neck.

The doctor from New Jersey had a conniption about it. He said I will never ever pass something that allows that type of strike. That could be life threatening, and he started going into his thing, and so the one elbow they took out was that elbow, that type of position. The way that they wrote it up, you could interpret it a ton of ways, but the true position they were talking about was the hand coming up to twelve o’clock to six o’clock.”

The story's pretty unclear, it kind of makes it sound like the doctor's actual concern was strikes to the back of the head/spine, and the rule mutated during discussions or was just really poorly written. To be fair, it's entirely possible that both stories are true. One doctor could have freaked out about those elbows to the back of the head and other people could have "agreed" that downward elbows were too dangerous based on seeing karate breaking.

Either way it's a fairly dumb rule. The only actual justification I can see for it is that with a true 12-6 elbow against a fighter flat on his back, the head is against the mat and can't move with the strike at all. If the elbow has a little angle on it the head can move with it a bit. But you're allowed to punch the poo poo out of a fighter from mount so I'm not sure that's meaningful.

It's an unfortunate law that could've been covered by the "no strikes to the back of the head" rule that was brought in when the UFC was bending over to commissions etc to get the sport back into the public eye. It'd be nice if it was changed, it would certainly make ground and pound fighters more effective. It sucks it's there but you can understand why.
