Really it's nothing at all like a jiu jitsu tournament in any way shape or form. Alot more fight in By KO,TKO, ref stoppage, Decision than by submission these days.
Most of the rules today are to keep it from becoming a grappling match. |

I think the ufc is more like real life, I go every where in my karate gi and I fight guys on the street wearing speedos.

It's a well rounded fighting competition with extremely well conditioned and highly trained fighters, with great sportsmanship.

As a person who enjoys a good jiujitsu match, I was dissapointed a little because the last UFC had very little submissions and grappling.
Since everyone reckognizes BJJ skills now, even the best 'ground and pound' fighters know how to handle themselves if it comes down to grappling. And just for a couple more cents added, you can wear a gi if you want to in the UFC.

Year, I just made a point of adding "No gi" because I knew someone would have eventually said "They don't where GI's in the UFC." I just wanted to skip a few steps.  I wanted to get peoples thoughts on the fighting of UFC and Jujitsu, not the “accessories” |

Gotcha, and you are right, someone would have eventually said that.
But the basic difference between a jiujitsu tournament and the UFC is the color of your eyes and the size of your lips when it is all over.

Lets take a look at the Current UFC champions and contenders to see how many of them are Jiu jitsu guys.
Heavweight Champion-Tim Sylvia-Very well rounded and proabably has some solid jiu jitsu skills but prefers to standup and strike and wins almost all of his fights by KO or TKO.
Light Heavyweigh champion-Tito Ortiz- A wrestler with vicous ground a pound who rarely if ever goes for a submission even though he is well versed in them, he prefers to pin you against the fence and unleash knees/elbows and punches untill you look like you got beat up with a baseball bat.
Interim Light heavyweigh champion- Randy Couture- World class Greco Roman wrestler with some sold boxing skills who also prefers the "ground and pound meathod"
Middle weight belt is vacant since Murillo Bustamante left the UFC, he would have been consiered a jiu jitsu expers with some solid standup.
-Runner up it Matt Liddland who is an olympic wrestler and that about it..
-Second place Phil Baroni who has devestating hands and is also a pretty good wrestler.
Welterweight Champion is Matt hughes- also well versed in Jiu jitsu and has solod standup but he is an amazingly strong wrestler who like to slam people and hurt them on the ground.
Runner up-Pete Spratt -Muay thai fighter with Vicious kicks and quick hands.
Lightweight also has a vacant belt but out of the top 4 i would say 2 are jiu jitsu stlye fighters and 2 are "strikers"
Anyone Calling the UFC a glorified jiu jitsu tournament is speaking out of complete ignorance and needs to open their eyes and look at the facts. |
