robert Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Wow! That was pretty incredible! Bob Sapp is HUGE dude! Such a difference in fighting styles, techniques, strengths and abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Yeah, pretty amazing. Sapp is huge, but all that bulk needs a lot of stamina. Unreal that Nogueira survived the ground and pound and then arm barred Sapp once he was exhausted. Amazing fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnie kray Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 i had seen this fight before. thanks for finding it again. Minotauro is definitely one of the top 3 fighters in the world. this is another great example why. he is a submission magician. this is just such a beautiful display of his patience, power, determination, skill, and discipline. thunder gets your attention, but lightning get the job done.

Guest Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I can't believe that guy came back after such a beating by someone so much larger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andgbr Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 is he brazilian? by his name and look.. he's probably from brazilantonio rodrigo nogueira.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veganmomma Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 That "match" does show that a skilled MMA fighter/grappler can defeat a much larger stronger man in competition. However, a former Oakland Raider lineman knockout 3 cops who tried to arrest him and was charged with 3 counts of attempted murder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veganmomma Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Then there was the high school lineman who punched a 40ish man in the head twice in NJ and killed the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnie kray Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 is he brazilian? by his name and look.. he's probably from brazilantonio rodrigo nogueira..yes, he is brazilian. trains with Brazilian Top Team. he has a twin brother to antonio rogerio nogueira, who fights in the light heavyweight division. That "match" does show that a skilled MMA fighter/grappler can defeat a much larger stronger man in competition. However, a former Oakland Raider lineman knockout 3 cops who tried to arrest him and was charged with 3 counts of attempted murder....Then there was the high school lineman who punched a 40ish man in the head twice in NJ and killed the guy. not sure why you are posting about that here, it has nothing to do with MMA. i'm confused.

MMA (i.e. sport martial art) v. Street Combat, Technique v. Size/Strength superiority arguement. I pointed out there is a difference. Many people believe that effective sport MA transfers into effective street combat especially in MMA circles. The examples I gave show that is not always the case. If you need me to elaborate further please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The examples I gave show that is not always the case. If you need me to elaborate further please let me know. sorry, i'm still not seeing the connection. these examples don't show us anything. all these examples show is that huge football players can beat up the average person. that's no surprise. i don't know the backstory, but i doubt that those cops and that 40 yr old man were martial arts experts. have those linemen show up in a cage against someone who actually knows what they are doing, i think the results may be different. besides that, we are not talking about street fighting. we are talking about MMA. not the same thing.

In a cage not a street fight. The average martial artists training at an MMA school will never be as skilled as a world class MMA fighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
