apart from the superman punch knockout which isnt as unusual these days the only one i would class as unusual was the reverse spinning roundhouse at 6:44 timed to absolute perfection
All new sports are like that. The first generation starts in their mid 20s with no support. By the third generation of fighters they start as kids and spend their whole lives training and have a whole crew to support them.
I like the women’s fights a lot more because they work on technique a lot more than the men’s divisions. The only men’s division I like watching is welterweight MMA for that reason.
Much respect for every fighter that stops when their opponent is clearly knocked out. Complete disdain for the walking turds that continue to strike an opponent that is clearly knocked out.
A lot of these knock outs were from techniques straight of Asian forms. Especially at 1:27 with the backing up while punching. It’s nice so see stuff that is centuries old working today.
the fighter at 7:12 heard Shao Khan say "FINISH HER" and torqued those hips and unleashed that kick right to the fuckin jibbs bud. Absolutely fuckin narrrrrstty pie lol
You could do a whole video about Hisae Watanabe in her prime, a little 105-lb Japanese fighter who hit like she weighed 160 lbs. I don't understand where all that power came from. The girls she hit dropped lifeless like they had been shot through the head with a sniper rifle.
If you watched more mma you would know that a downed opponent doesn't mean they're out of the fight, there's plenty of examples where someone gets knocked down and wins the fight from that position or getting back up, it's a warrior sport, boxing is just not on the level of brutality that is needed in a real fight
What really irritates me are the fighters who keep pounding on someone who's completely out of it. Some fighters recognize this and just stops, but others just keep punching away on a potato sack.
An interesting observation between a lot of MMA fighters compared to boxers. Most of the time, when a boxer has CLEARLY knocked out their opponent, they don't continue to hit them...Most of the time. But in MMA...most of the time, even though the opponent is CLEARLY knocked out...they will continue hitting them until the referee stops them. What's wrong with you!?!
The ref must make the call. Until the ref stops the fight, the fight isn’t over. So it's essentially to ensure that they've won and make the ref stop the fight
@@zaruhialoyan4060 With all due respect. I know that. But it's not really any different for the referee in a boxing match...that's why you would sometimes see the boxer actually be asking the ref to stop it when they know their opponent, is essentially knocked out on their feet. I can immediately recall Leonard and Roy Jones Jr. doing this at times in their career.
Thats a good question that I myself have pondered. This is what I came up with: In boxing, knockouts are expected (maybe even the goal?)...whereas in mma, total damage is counted along with takedowns, strikes, kicks etc, not just the knockout. Also its very rare that a knockout happens in mma. And for an Ex: Zhang Weili vs Joanna. Then watch Zhang vs Rose. In the 1st, Zhang won by damage done (expected...it is after all a mixed martial arts fight). In the 2nd one, Rose knocked Zhang out with a perfectly timed and aimed kick (not expected, kicks damage but the usually don't result on knockout) Zhang attempted to get up although she was wobbly so Rose went in with the final punches. This is my unsolicited 2cents and again it is a fair question.
