Pit Pack

If you can understand the difference between sports fighting and reality-based street survival where anything goes and there are no rules, you will get the most out of this article. 

Because of the high visibility of the sport of Mixed Martial Arts and the brutality of some of the clinching situations where you see this huge, fit,  muscular behemoth pounding away mercilessly against the head of a pinned opponent, you get the feeling and the impression that this is the simulation of a real street fight.  Looks are deceiving. 

I never said an MMA can’t be brutal and intense, but by the mere fact that there are rules, rules out the fact that it is a real street fight. In the street,  there are no rules.  In the street, anything goes.  As well, in a real street fight, there is no such thing as dirty fighter - only an educated one, that is, there are no illegal blows.

My take is that the best fight is the fight that you were able to avoid.  But life is not always so easily predictable or prettily packaged.

With that said, how would you fight, if you had to, an MMA guy in a real street situation? 

5 Secrets To Defeating An MMA Guy In A Real Street Fight:

Secret #1 - Play Timid - Then Punch To The Throat - Look these guys are usually young, strong, fit and muscular.  They are aggressive, willing and ready to fight.  Then don’t have to think twice about going into attack mode.  The more you use your mind, the less you get kicked in the behind.  Disarm him psychologically, by playing timid with you hands up in the “I don’t won’t any trouble, buddy” position when “Bam!” you punch to the throat.  The fight is all over then because now he is grabbing his throat and gasping for air.  His thoughts are only on “Oh, no, I can’t breathe!  I need to breathe!”  At this point, he is not thinking about fighting only getting control of his breathing again.  Depending on the situation, you can follow up with further strikes. 

Secret #2 - Play Timid - Eye Gouge - Then Knee Stomp - An alternative to a throat strike is a finger eye gouge followed up by a 45º angle knee stomp.  Your opened fingers fall down across the eyes and rake them.  The movement is similar to how you get accidentally raked in the eye when playing basketball when the other team player tries to slap the basketball out of your hand as you go up for the jump shot but misses and rakes your eyes.  Only in the case of street fighting, you are doing it intentionally and with force followed up by another strike to the knee.  Continue your attack .  Remember, these guys are used to taking a lot of punishment and they have a high threshold for pain.  You can chop down this oak tree but not by welding one axe swing.

Secret #3 - Avoid Close Quarters Fighting - Kick To The Shins - MMA fighters are expert close-quarters fighters and they love to clinch.  Keep your distance and execute damaging low line shin kicks that will start them hopping on one leg.  Continue banging away at their foundation.  Eventually, they will fall.

Secret #4 - Be Ready For The Takedown - Shoot Your Legs Back - MMA fighters love the takedown, so the probability is very high that they will shoot for your legs in an effort to take you to the ground.  Watch for this.  When you see it coming - shoot both your legs back and manage to fall on top of them smashing their face on the ground when then miss.  Then immediately get back up.  The ground is not your friend.

Secret #5 - In A Clinch - Bite Whatever Is Available - Uh! Oh!  You slipped up and got yourself in trouble.  You find yourself in a clinch.  Do you want to freak an MMA guy out real fast?  Bite him.  Yes, bite him on whatever is available.  His cheek.  His forearm.  His nipples.  His groin.  And growl! - for dramatic and psychological shock value.  I promise you that that fool will let you go and will be totally freaked out because you will have taken all of the fight out of him.  But sorry, too late for pity.  Get back on your feet, and continue busting him in the shins with another and yet another front kick.

So, there you have it.  Stay safe.  Avoid the confrontations that you can - but when you can’t - kick some gluteus maximus to the max!
