5 Ways to Stop Aggressive Opponents in MMA 

@H-town281 A wen u spread ur legs it's harder for the to reach u without falling off balance u can see it happening to some of floyds opponents

oblique kick should be avoided as much as possible imo, unless it's a real life situation

How do you address clinching which is almost guaranteed to happen with a aggressive opponent?

What’s pull counter (sorry I’m new to this)

@Joe Blow you're basically talking about the oblique kick

Just keep your distance, if you lack training and reflex try dodging and covering your head as that's the only thing they know to hit, their brain doesnt know they can hit body shots. But for someone without training they will easily tire after bursting for many missed shots. I don't recommend parrying or counter punching if youre not fast enough or you'll be a victim of Mike Tyson's line which is "Everyone's got a plan until they get punched in the head". Be smart and play safe, cover your face and head, sweep side to side. When you feel they are tired after a couple of seconds, their punches will be weaker and slower, time to counter. Also mix your footwork, be unpredictable. Instead of keeping distance all the time you can actually surprise them by moving forward suddenly followed by a hook to the liver or uppercut. Always keep your head low when dodging. Tldr you keep distance and going side to side while covering your head and face then surprise them with forward movement with a hook to the body. Don't listen to this bullshit kicking them to the legs or pushing them with front kick. These are for experienced fighters

For opponents who keeps their distance but keeps on throwing jabs and straights, Just go lower mike tyson style while getting near and hit their body with a hook or an upper cut to their chin. Follow it up with the moves and combos you know to bring them down. Most people don't expect attack to the body and they don't know how to defend it

Old school Karate right there

should have finished with soccer kicks and punches to his temple and neck

Should’ve done the Daniel Larusso or Jayden Smith kick

@@baraaljamal9828bro thinks this is a movie😂

@Carlos Danger boo fucking hoo , its just a name

Lmao

Eventually they get tired, then vengeance is yours!!!

@Carlos Danger Was that supposed to offend me like your whiny bitch ass

@Carlos Danger what's wrong with his name

Definitely

Thank u doggo very helpful!

Oh no weebs are watching fighting videos... they are rising up and must be stopped. Just joking btw :)

@@quince537 just wait til you hear about Israel Adesanya

@@cherryperoxide wow just saw some highlights of him. The last stylebender huh, would've been great if he could fight Jon Jones lol, Adesanya's a beast

If they got some wrestling they just need to grab the leg and take you down though, happened to me before.

@@GoulouMalouku running into a good front leg side kick, is like running into a subway turnstile that's locked! Plus your leg is a lot longer than your opponent's arms. Very effective!

@@Twobarpsi I agree with you, but I am saying front kicks can be grabbed and used for takedowns so you have to be prepared for that.

@@GoulouMalouku yes!

@@GoulouMalouku its very effective in kickboxing, just have to time it very well

Deviantsole 802 they said they’re bringing them back late November like 3 days ago dude.

How much do they cost?

Marcello Di Foggia like 60 pounds I think... very expensive 😞

Wonder if a switch stance with some straight wing chun punches would work. Someone should test that 😂

No because they didn't say anything about steroids

he also inspires me and all his fans lets go

Great to hear -- welcome, Hadi!

That requires too much energy, and if you execute it incorrectly or with poor timing, then you're basically screwed.

Tander101 It was taekwondo sparring and my parter was kinda inexperienced so it worked out

Boxing stance: good power, gonna eat leg kicks and takedowns Best liver shot combos: the one that ends up landing on the liver Tornado kicks: just....don't Takedown defense: control the head, sprawl, underhooks Beat distance fighter: hang from a bar until your arms stretch 3inches longer

@@ThatCasualZach Hahaha Actually pretty damn accurate. Well done.

@Zach theDiver lol nice thx bro

JEVOX -_- I recommend Jeff Chan too, he is great too you can mix his technique with Shane

Tony P thx bro I'm gone check him out😁

Set-up your kicks with the Jab. Even if the jab is Not landing, the next time u go for a Strike, Really try pretending to go for a jab again Then go for a Leg Or Body Kick. He is going to be blocking up top for the jabs u have Set-up And because ur Faking the jab to actually land the Kick. Make sure you're moving around when setting up the jab. Do not stay still.

Brian Cherera Lift your lead knee up. I love to use my knees to protect my body. If they throw a punch or roundhouse to your body and land it on your knee, they will be VERY hesitant to throw more body shots

All these combos go out the window in a real fight unless you actually train/spar and are used to getting hit. If you're really worried about protecting yourself learn to wrestle. If you're still in school, try out for the team. Striking is fun, but being able to throw people around and control them on the ground is much more valuable in a street fight, rather than gambling with striking.

K Vee Thank you for the reply bro :) will consider those options, now that you’ve mentioned it. Have a nice day!
