When approached by a police officer, it’s never a good idea to instigate physical acts of violence while you’re in front of an audience of thousands. Apparently no one informed the guy in this video. A small portion of props must be handed out for being fearless enough to get into an altercation with two
Promoting your fight is still a necessity in the realm of Street MMA. Your PR team is the guy holding the camera. Your audience? Whoever randomly takes a stroll on the sidewalk at that given time. It’s not a complicated operation, but if there’s a back story behind your fight, you will warrant an emotional
Yes. Everything about this Street MMA match is perfect. Perfect, perfect, perfect. Every possible ingredient that could be added to a delicious Street MMA soup is here: Russians, high level grappling techniques, a fantastic and knowledgeable crowd that is more respectful than the average MMA audience (even getting quiet and then applauding at appropriate times)
I could watch cars get towed for hours with a giddy satisfaction that no other form of entertainment can provide. Whoever thought to combine repossession companies and camera crews deserves a $100 gift card to Applebee’s and a date with Thandie Newton. For humanities sake, I hope nobody actually takes Thandie Newton to Applebee’s. She’s
I’ve learned never to donate unnecessary obstacles to a private security guards. In some roundabout way, they will conjure all available universal force and harness it in order to make your life as miserable as possible. I’m not sure where these security guards acquired this talent, but I would venture to say it was taught
I am so starved for football that I will take anything at this point. Preseason games, fantasy football mock drafts, slow motion NFL films highlight reels with the music that must be used in a MMA video soon. Bring it. I want it. Football is almost here, yes! That said, preseason games and mock drafts
Back in the days when the youth armed rolls of quarters like AK-47s in Palestine, there was a little coin-op arcade game called ‘Pitfighter.’ For some out there, you can rekindle found memories of repeatedly slamming your palm to execute a two-button combo only to be knocked out by a dude named ‘Buzz’ with some
Russians. According to Don Frye they are the last men on earth, and I’m inclined to agree. What we have here is not your typical Street MMA, this is Russian style Street MMA. Which means it takes place in an incredibly tiny room where some sort of organized boxing match goes awry out of left
Someone promptly stick a bullet deep within my brain so I will forever get this MTV Riff Raff song out of my head. It’s ruining my life. Throughout the day, I sporadically repeat lyrics like ‘I have more combos than a Taco Bell menu.’ Maybe I should enlist Jorge Masvidal to shove his fist in
We get a hefty amount of ‘A Lesson in Street MMA’ submissions, and it’s safe to say that 95% of them are rejected. Our critera is simple. The Street MMA bout must be recent, we’re talking within three days. If the bout is relatively good, our guidelines may extend to videos that have been uploaded
Ah, Street MMA, by far the most polarizing two words that can be typed on MiddleEasy, well that and ‘Kobe GOAT’. Any combination of those words will no doubt get a heated conversation going in the comment section, people will threaten to leave, tears are shed, virtual chests are bumped and names are called. Well
Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. Then why is trash talk so prevalent in Street MMA? Trash talking when you could be moving into the pocket looking to drop some bombs Chadd Griggs style is what you should be doing, not constantly talking about how you are going
We do these ‘A Lesson in Street MMA’ articles as an altruistic act of kindness. Our lives may come to a point where one is thrown into an unsolicited MMA match on the street, in the backyard or in this case in the middle of a Hawaiian parking lot. Sure these group of individuals got
Yeah, I like the song Batdance by Prince. It’s one of the best songs of the 80’s and the video is probably scariest since Thriller. It’s successful, 4.3 million owners of the Batman soundtrack can’t be wrong, sampling Jack Nicholson while wearing a half Batman half Joker suit thing whilst gyrating and lip syncing equals
Now that fathers are apparently allowed to corner fighters in the institution of Street MMA, it goes without saying that the paradigm has shifted forever. The only thing this video needs is a celebrity appearance by Weng-Weng towards the end in order to cement itself in the vein of mainstream culture. Weng-weng has the power
You have to be ready for anything in Street MMA, there is no time to scout your opponent. Who knows what camp they train at or what their strength or weakness is. Street MMA is a crapshoot, like how it was back in 1993, with our cans of whatever with the little mouth hole. Incredible
