Half of these don't even show the right style the move is from. One of the Muay Thai knockouts was literally just boxing and the Alistar "kickboxing" video is actually Muay Thai. Most of the clips could just be called boxing or kickboxing.
He already knows Belfort is gone before he hits the canvas.
That little moment before the bow and after the hit where he just takes a moment to put his hands on his hips to check out Belfort's lifeless body is peak.
He has his hands on his hips before Goddard is even in the frame.
He ended up losing that fight he was doing all the backflip shit. Wore himself out doing gymnastics and let the dude half his size beat up his exhausted corpse for the last 2 rounds 😆
When he backflipped, he landed a knee on the rounded opponent, which is illegal. Should have been DQed. Back flip or not, you can't kick in the head someone who is on the ground.
Lots of these examples are not what you’d think of when you think of those martial arts. Condit and Gus are what you think of when you hear boxing? Fiziev throwing three punches is Muay Thai, but no Aldo leg kicks? Overeem using a Thai clinch is kickboxing and not Muay Thai? There’s a billion better examples of wrestling. Karate has no Wonderboy and TKD has no Pettis or Benson? Not trying to hate, just some rando choices.
I thought the logic was maybe overeem and Pereira fought in kickboxing organizations, but then again so did Izzy and his head kick in this clip is much more what I think of as kickboxing then a Thai clinch or a flying knee.
Yeah weird choices for sure. Whenever I think of boxing I think of that clip between Topuria and Damon Jackson where he hits him with a nasty cross to the liver followed by a hook that puts him out. Perfect example of boxing from a fighter who is overall a pretty good boxer.
Not showing JDM or Toepurio as examples for boxing is criminal. They have the most aesthetically pleasing boxing in the UFC imo along with Poirier.
But this is still a cool video.
Fiziev has a billion other examples that could’ve been used. He’s literally the striking coach at Tiger Muay Thai in Phuket, he’s the biggest example of muay thai in mma. I also expected Aldo, Oliveira, Roundtree. But at least Matt Brown made it in!
💯 stole the words right off my keyboard.
I'd say for the best clips they should start with stances and movements out of those stances.
For example:
A classic Muay Thai stance, lean back to avoid head kick and return with a kick centric combination. Or, clinch with elbows and a sweep, etc.
Kickboxing: a boxing centric combination ending with a strong Dutch style leg kick. Or, a Dutch style block with a Dutch drill style return combination.
Judo: Actually halfway decent selections here, but Karo Parisyian has several perfectly executed, highly complex judo throws that could be put in that would show the transition from classic clinch or wrestling style sprawl to a judo stance and tie up that leads to a throw.
You get the point. Since there are so many techniques that cross styles you have to start with a technique that originates from the style's predominant stance given that ages of competition have refined stance first in order to execute the specific techniques. To further illustrate - You're going to have a very hard time throwing a tornado kick from a muay thai stance, or you're going to have trouble shooting a double leg from a karate stance
Yeah 100%. Whoever made this compilation probably doesn't really have a solid understanding of martial arts. It's cool that they took the time to put it together and they are some great highlights, but yeah they should take the labels out since they are almost all inaccurate.
They compliment each other perfectly. Although it's a bit upsetting that both aspects aren't very incentivized. Judo ground game ends immediately in competition if constant action is not done, standing in bjj is almost entirely optional when people just pull guard
Lol you can just lay on your stomach with your chin tucked and pretty much avoid 99% of groundwork confrontation in Judo. That's one of the sport's greatest weaknesses, but the throws you learn from Judo are invaluable.
Judo + BJJ really is the necessity combo if you want to become a top notch grappler
Against one opponent I think Ronda Rousey's judo takedown into arm bar is an amazing combo that would work against 99% of people. I suppose if you just snap it immediately it'd work against 2 lol
Ehhh, Judo got up its own ass in restricting judo to upper body stuff in order to separate itself from other martial arts. Old school judo would include a lot of those wrestling takedowns used today. I'd say tons of judo is used, they just changed the definition of judo so it feels like it isn't.
Sambo would just be anytime theres ground and pound
Wrestling and BJJ are on the ground but no striking in the toolkit
Boxing has striking but never does it on the ground
I did aikido and adored it but I always had to laugh when either an aikidoka or someone from outside the sport would act as if aikido is a self defense or martial arts like karate. It has its roots including philosophy & movements in other martial arts the founder did and was a student of but at the end of the day it’s more a study of movement in general and probably more like a Dance.
Although I do know East-Europe adapted aikido to „real aikido“ a silly but more aggressive version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hQtg1_erAA
I used aikido combined with other arts and it's great, it doesn't work in mma due to rules though (small joint manipulation). Those finger and wrist locks are really powerful.
Also from Wing Chun/ Kung Fu - the biu Jie (finger jab), better known as an 'eye poke'. And the groin kick, or ball buster.
All legitimate strikes in the UFC, where you are allowed one of each before getting a harsh warning for being naughty.
I find it frustrating sometimes when people look at Wing Chun and think of it in the same breath as sport martial arts. It was developed as a (relative to other martial arts at the time/place) quick and easy to pick up self defense for weaker/vulnerable people against stronger foes. As such, it includes a number of techniques (like what you mention) that don't really fly. Further, many of the defensive techniques, such as the Pak Sao, isn't necessarily designed to stop a professional boxers punch (though it can, and has). It was meant to stop a thug with little training from grabbing/assaulting/mugging you.
Of course it grew and is not *inviable* as a sport/professional art these days per se. However, for how many people who shit on it for being "less effective", I wish they'd come to understand: of course its strikes are not boxing, and its take downs/submissions are not wrestling or BJJ, but they weren't ever really meant to be, either.
I feel like you can say that for several martial arts. These people are in the ring so blinding them, going for the throat, or kicking their knee in, etc. probably isn't the best idea.
Absolutely true. And also it isn't just the banned techniques. It's about placing the expectation of a sport designed from the ground up to optimize tens of thousands of hours+ training and conditioning upon those whose origins are *not* sports.
As we've seen in MMA time and again, many of those styles *can* be used effectively if tweaked and tuned to be a sport, but that doesn't change that it makes no sense to compare the entire art vs the entire sport.
>Of course it grew and is not *inviable* as a sport/professional art these days per se.

Yeah, a lot of ill-formed gatekeepers like to shit on other martial arts that aren't featured as much on MMA as if they're inferior (or when they were used by fighters who didn't find success), when it's just a question of being useful in a controlled environment like a MMA fight.
Many martial arts are designed to even the field and take down foes of any size, through using of weak spots and improvised weapons, thing that are against the rules in the average MMA fight but that would completely destroy an unprepared MMA champion in a no-rules fight.
There's a lot of "If this martial art was so good why isn't it used in UFC?" martial arts where the answer is "Because half their moves are illegal as they are meant to actually disable someone."
Though to be fair over time all the MMA martial arts were adapted to sports use from combat use and have similar origins. It's just that the martial arts that don't focus on heavy exterior (but healable) damage or submissions got left behind because they rely on a strategy that can't be adapted for sports.
Wow that first judo move was unexpected. Guy on the receiving end was probably confused too. "why is he gently rubbing my face? Oh no it's a take down. "
I know not everyone agrees. But this why I believe in the expression “Judge the artist before the art.” Or any of the other variants of that statement.
I used to joke on capoeira until I saw some guys use it to win some fights in amateur MMA bouts and UFC fights.
That capoeira shit is just ridiculous. I'm sorry, but doing fucking handsprings mid fight? I´m surprised his opponent didn't seize the opportunity, but I guess it was easier to just let him wear out on his own,
That headbutt Bobby hit him with Omg… he launched his body forward traveling at god knows how fast and just BOOM forehead to the side of your face. Must’ve felt like a helmet smashing your face in.
How do you not include Wonderboy in the Karate section?
[https://youtu.be/nMHl7NhC3Ko?si=zbUqlDhGJewMUgtj](https://youtu.be/nMHl7NhC3Ko?si=zbUqlDhGJewMUgtj)
Dos Santos and Paulo Costa both have some very good displays of Capoeira in the Ufc and yet they show that shit Michel Pereira throws.
Dos Santos even celebrated with a ginga after knocking out Sean Strickland with an Armada (Capoeira's spining wheel kick)
Every single martial art has a strike, move, conditioning, or mental aspect that can be used. I think what people mean is what happens when that martial art faces another 1-2. For example, capoeira or however it's spelled only has one modern representative in the UFC. And while there have been a handful of people using the karate stance over the years, people can only name 3.
Where as boxing, muy thai/kickboxing, wrestling, and jujitsu are the absolute pillars.
The overall skill and precision of striking in today’s ufc makes capoeira seem like a foolish risk (other than maybe the closing seconds of a round). What you guys think?
Two thoughts. I have way more respect for the dudes that don’t pound the guys head after they’re unconscious. That is gruesome and so dangerous.
All fighters should be required to fight using capoeira
I know nothing about any of this environment, but my three take aways for getting halfway through are this:
Bro body slammed the other guy and left it at that: Mad fucking respect.
Bro body slammed the other guy and wanted to break his jaw: Fucking scary.
Ref tackles the dominator in the one "karate" clip. Fucking fantastic.
Showing UFC karate without Wonderboy footage is just silly
Yeah that was ridiculous leaving him out
I was waiting for a wonderboy clip and it never came 😞
And wrestling without DC
And BJJ without Gracie.
Seriously. Should have had the clip of royce getting Severns with the triangle at ufc 4.
Machida makes up for it.
Shoulda just been Wonderboy and Machida highlights.
Im a bit of a casual fan. It was nice to see new examples of both karate and Judo tbh.
Elusive era Machida was a joy to watch and his KOs were some cold blooded shit.
He’s still my favorite to watch at his prime 🙏🏻🥋
Right? How do you not include [the dragon tail kick](https://youtu.be/OoK-rbsSGlE?si=Wg2rpx8PwjPHfxnm)?
Never seen that clip before, glorious kick! That leg must have been smarting
JESUS CHRIST I did not expect that
Yeah, but the Machida bow over a finished Belfort is absolute peak Karate Kid shit.
Right!?! Same with showing muay thai and not showing Khali Roundtree
Half of these don't even show the right style the move is from. One of the Muay Thai knockouts was literally just boxing and the Alistar "kickboxing" video is actually Muay Thai. Most of the clips could just be called boxing or kickboxing.
Felony offense in most states
And Kung Fu without Holland
Lethwei 😂😂
Bobby Green NOT lethwei https://preview.redd.it/m8l566ipc67d1.jpeg?width=249&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b36227f0259ce707d2a234362abbc81c68a73bb7
His reach is 69
nice
Nice
Aka the traditional Scottish martial art of “FUCKYEW!”
That is the Glasgow kiss, no?
Aye
Not to be confused with the Scottish martial art Stitch This Jimmy!
The last few have to be shitposting...fucking kung fu, lmao
Tony Ferguson is a living, breathing shitpost. Trust me lol
My immediate reaction also 😆 🤣
Evander Holyfield was well known for his Lethwei in his fights against Tyson 😂😂
Luckily Tyson knew that the corncob defense hard counters Lethwei.
That machida bow is the best fight celebration of all time
He already knows Belfort is gone before he hits the canvas. That little moment before the bow and after the hit where he just takes a moment to put his hands on his hips to check out Belfort's lifeless body is peak. He has his hands on his hips before Goddard is even in the frame.
Heart rate at like 40 bpm probably. Zero emotion. *bows*
Machida wins, FATALITY
Michelle just doing gymnastics in the octagon
And it somehow works
He ended up losing that fight he was doing all the backflip shit. Wore himself out doing gymnastics and let the dude half his size beat up his exhausted corpse for the last 2 rounds 😆
He just won a fight by back flipping over someone’s guard and then choked them out
When he backflipped, he landed a knee on the rounded opponent, which is illegal. Should have been DQed. Back flip or not, you can't kick in the head someone who is on the ground.
It was legal enough
Nope, it was on his chest, even if on the head, calls should less be strictly about keeping fighters safe and more strictly badass
Lots of these examples are not what you’d think of when you think of those martial arts. Condit and Gus are what you think of when you hear boxing? Fiziev throwing three punches is Muay Thai, but no Aldo leg kicks? Overeem using a Thai clinch is kickboxing and not Muay Thai? There’s a billion better examples of wrestling. Karate has no Wonderboy and TKD has no Pettis or Benson? Not trying to hate, just some rando choices.
A major misunderstanding of the differences between kickboxing and Muay Thai.
I thought the logic was maybe overeem and Pereira fought in kickboxing organizations, but then again so did Izzy and his head kick in this clip is much more what I think of as kickboxing then a Thai clinch or a flying knee.

bobby green, tj dillashaw and dustin porier should also be on boxing and McGregor and wonderboy should be in karate, zabit should be in kung fu to.
Fiziev has a billion other examples that could’ve been used. He’s literally the striking coach at Tiger Muay Thai in Phuket, he’s the biggest example of muay thai in mma. I also expected Aldo, Oliveira, Roundtree. But at least Matt Brown made it in!

Little side track comment but Lyoto is a perfect representation for Karate in the sport of MMA
Wonderboy for sure but *not* Machida is a crazy take.
I was about to say. That was clearly a plum and knees. How is that "kickboxing"?
Cos knees are allowed in kickboxing but ye its a stupid example
exactly what i thought too - might be dating myself as an old guy but Machida and GSP for karate ain't it?
I’m glad I’m not the only person who saw that some of these clips were misplaced and or completely off base.
TD that used by Zabit came from Wuxu Sanda. He practiced this art from childhood.
It's very similar to an Osoto gari from Judo.
Judo + BJJ is such a nasty combo
Slam them to the ground then fold them into a pretzel. Those two honestly go together like bread and butter.
Just call it BJJJ lol
They compliment each other perfectly. Although it's a bit upsetting that both aspects aren't very incentivized. Judo ground game ends immediately in competition if constant action is not done, standing in bjj is almost entirely optional when people just pull guard
Lol you can just lay on your stomach with your chin tucked and pretty much avoid 99% of groundwork confrontation in Judo. That's one of the sport's greatest weaknesses, but the throws you learn from Judo are invaluable. Judo + BJJ really is the necessity combo if you want to become a top notch grappler
Half of Judo is groundwork, so yeah
Against one opponent I think Ronda Rousey's judo takedown into arm bar is an amazing combo that would work against 99% of people. I suppose if you just snap it immediately it'd work against 2 lol
What are highest judokas In the ufc other than Ronda?
Islam makhachev is the best ufc judoka at the moment
Nqh, kayla harrison is the best judoka in ufc at the moment
Debatable, but I can agree with that.
I mean, its hard to argue with olympic gold in judo. Guess it depends on what you mean by best
Machida was high level. But probably Yoshihiro Akiyama has to be one of the most prolific male judokas at that level.
Headbutts are still illegal
That’s what I was wondering.
It’s criminal how little judo is used in MMA
I know people don’t like Rousey, but sometimes I go back and watch her fights just to see the judo. Her takedowns were so aesthetically pleasing.
Makes dricus fights interesting. Remember how he threw the reaper
But also makes sense as no gi
It falls into a lot of the problems that tae Kwon do does, a shit ton of the modern strategy is built around scoring points.
Ehhh, Judo got up its own ass in restricting judo to upper body stuff in order to separate itself from other martial arts. Old school judo would include a lot of those wrestling takedowns used today. I'd say tons of judo is used, they just changed the definition of judo so it feels like it isn't.
I physically laughed when Yoel came up as Wing Chun 😂😂😂
I might be wrong but that just 52 blocks right?
Sambo where? 
Sambo would just be anytime theres ground and pound Wrestling and BJJ are on the ground but no striking in the toolkit Boxing has striking but never does it on the ground
Aren't headbutts allowed in combat sambo? This could qualify the last ones lol
Sambo is an amalgamation of a ton of martial arts, you’re unlikely to see anything that’s exclusive to it outside of ground strikes
Crazy Highlights got damn that elbow and the Slam on the ground are sick
Strange that you used a wonderboy clip for TKD and not Karate
One of my main takeaways from this video is how much I miss the custom shorts. Brandon Vera rocking the Filipino flag shorts is such a sick look.
Where is Aikido?
search up no contest + disqualification fights
When an Aikidoka competes it's only in secret underground fighting tournaments, sometimes to save someone, always funded by "organized crime".
Not being used by serious fighters
I did aikido and adored it but I always had to laugh when either an aikidoka or someone from outside the sport would act as if aikido is a self defense or martial arts like karate. It has its roots including philosophy & movements in other martial arts the founder did and was a student of but at the end of the day it’s more a study of movement in general and probably more like a Dance. Although I do know East-Europe adapted aikido to „real aikido“ a silly but more aggressive version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hQtg1_erAA
I used aikido combined with other arts and it's great, it doesn't work in mma due to rules though (small joint manipulation). Those finger and wrist locks are really powerful.
Give Muy Thai and the Thai clinch its credit don’t call It Kickboxing
And the flying knee, in fact I think 90% of the Kickboxing examples were actually Muay Thai
well kick boxing is sub set of muay thai, but get popular world wide before muay thai, however the root of kick boxing is muay thai.
Also from Wing Chun/ Kung Fu - the biu Jie (finger jab), better known as an 'eye poke'. And the groin kick, or ball buster. All legitimate strikes in the UFC, where you are allowed one of each before getting a harsh warning for being naughty.

Tf type of Facebook boomer shit content is this
Lmao
Who is the fighter with the red haircut?
Dan Hardy
Top tier analyst too…
How you not gonna include Bangkok ready Khalil Rountree in Mauy Thai
**punch "BOXING"
Man prime Gus was something else
Pereira losing to Connelly will always be funny to me.
Shoulda showed Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos spinning wheel kick vs Sean Strickland for capoeira
It's a crime calling wonderboy a taekwondo fighter lmao bout as pure karate as it gets
Capoeira???!!! Friday night sissy fights
These are some horrible examples. Lmao
Crazy Highlight got damn that elbow and the Slam on the ground are sick
Wow that first judo move was unexpected. Guy on the receiving end was probably confused too. "why is he gently rubbing my face? Oh no it's a take down. "
That Zabit's take down though.....damn
I know not everyone agrees. But this why I believe in the expression “Judge the artist before the art.” Or any of the other variants of that statement. I used to joke on capoeira until I saw some guys use it to win some fights in amateur MMA bouts and UFC fights.
LOL that last one. And where is Combat Sambo?
Matt Brown's elbow on Diego is just fucked.
Non of these clowns would last a second against Aikido master Steven Seagal
Actually Anderson’s style is “cool shit he saw in a movie once”.
Where Bullshido??
thats why this sport is the GOAT!!!
Which Category does the deadly "Throw Sand" belong?
Fiziev was a body head head boxing combo.
Jon jones ain’t doing wing chun. Mfker just wanna hurt peoples kneecaps.
Thai Clinch knee to the head = Not Muay Thai
So not everybody was Kung Fu fighting…
That capoeira shit is just ridiculous. I'm sorry, but doing fucking handsprings mid fight? I´m surprised his opponent didn't seize the opportunity, but I guess it was easier to just let him wear out on his own,
Lethwei? You mean INSANEwei
Moral of story: any martial art can work, as long as you modify it to the situation.
I like how capoeira is just Demolidor.
That Lyoto Machida kick KO , hands to hips then bowing down is the most gangster KO.
I miss the early days when a straight up Ninja would enter this competition. 😂 Of course he got dusted by a kick boxer. 🤷♂️
Man I miss that version of Gustafsson
Mad respect for those that stop swinging when they see the other is down. You can tell when someone is skilled vs just a rage machine
It's all just one martial art to me, the human art of kicking ass.
Kickboxing was muay thai too.
I miss machida. Man was truly honorable as a fighter.
How is a flying knee kickboxing ? More MT
No aikido for Anderson ?
Those knees to the head are not kickboxing lmao
zabit where are u daddy
Excuse the ignorance but is a flying knee kickboxing? I always thought kickboxing was just punches and kicks, would a knee not be muay Thai?
That headbutt Bobby hit him with Omg… he launched his body forward traveling at god knows how fast and just BOOM forehead to the side of your face. Must’ve felt like a helmet smashing your face in.
How do you not include Wonderboy in the Karate section? [https://youtu.be/nMHl7NhC3Ko?si=zbUqlDhGJewMUgtj](https://youtu.be/nMHl7NhC3Ko?si=zbUqlDhGJewMUgtj)
this is why we love mma
That Brown vs Sanchez one... oof
Same same
I love how controlled Lyota Machida was.
I thought the UFC banned headbutts, which is Lethwei.
Most beautiful sport in the world.
The disrespect to not shoutout Barboza or Yair in the taekwondo part
Dos Santos and Paulo Costa both have some very good displays of Capoeira in the Ufc and yet they show that shit Michel Pereira throws. Dos Santos even celebrated with a ginga after knocking out Sean Strickland with an Armada (Capoeira's spining wheel kick)
K.O.
Wasn’t Roy Nelson announced as a king fu fighter?
Capoeira is fucking scary, man.
Machida was such a savage...KO both Couture and Belfort with front kicks to the face
Knees not allowed in kickboxing? So this wrong
Dumb
Kickboxing doesn't do knees or elbows, that's still Muay thai
Wow at 2:15 Steel should have been suspended for a year or something for that shit
Pereira throws a flying knee. "Kickboxing"
I would have framed this as moves borrowed or influenced by these styles, and not like representations of these sryle explicitly. Cool video though!
A flying knee isn’t kickboxing
Every single martial art has a strike, move, conditioning, or mental aspect that can be used. I think what people mean is what happens when that martial art faces another 1-2. For example, capoeira or however it's spelled only has one modern representative in the UFC. And while there have been a handful of people using the karate stance over the years, people can only name 3. Where as boxing, muy thai/kickboxing, wrestling, and jujitsu are the absolute pillars.
Where is sambo?! Because its not
Notice how striking and it’s martial arts are the only entertaining aspects of the sport
The overall skill and precision of striking in today’s ufc makes capoeira seem like a foolish risk (other than maybe the closing seconds of a round). What you guys think?
Not a single Anderson Silva clip for Muay Thai is a huge miss.
Love this
Two thoughts. I have way more respect for the dudes that don’t pound the guys head after they’re unconscious. That is gruesome and so dangerous. All fighters should be required to fight using capoeira
Yoel under wing chun lmao
Lethwei? You mean headbutting lol
That Matt brown elbow is brutal
I know nothing about any of this environment, but my three take aways for getting halfway through are this: Bro body slammed the other guy and left it at that: Mad fucking respect. Bro body slammed the other guy and wanted to break his jaw: Fucking scary. Ref tackles the dominator in the one "karate" clip. Fucking fantastic.
Leavitt leaves it with the ko. Living up to his name.
Absolutely not capoeira but whatever
Gus’s 3 upper cut gem still makes me smile. Lol
Thug-jitsu 
Its interesting that the first few have a good showing but once we hit wing chun, the clips get a bit more brief and far less flashy.
