Female MMA Fighter Chokes Out Reporter

xxovercastxx says...

I just dug up the UFC rules and it seems I've been mislead. There's no rule about what types of chokes can be performed. In light of this I find it odd that the BJJ technique usually applied focuses more on the airway than the arteries.

I would like to see some evidence of "stuck" arteries. I'm not finding any.

My understanding is that the blood choke is banned in UFC because it's "dangerous", but I think it's really banned because it's just too fast.


Chokes in MMA are strangulation chokes which may compromise the airway, but are mostly compression of the carotid arteries and jugular veins. Much more force is required to compress the trachea, than is required to impede blood flow.

Police are not allowed to use them, because if applied for too long they can cause death and cops like to get creative and stick things like batons and nightsticks in there which can crush the windpipe or break the hyoid bone.

In MMA chokes that involve the blood vessels of the neck are perfectly safe as long as the ref and medical staff are able to respond after loss of consciousness.

BTW, one could conceivably train anyone to choke out a reporter with a rear naked if they don't think it's coming.

IIRC, in a fairly large portion of the population, pinching off the veins/arteries in the neck can sometimes cause the vessels to "stick" closed, causing death/stroke/brain damage. It is very dangerous.

The rear naked choke can be done as a "blood choke", where the arteries on either side of the neck are cut off, or as an "air choke", where you simply can't breathe. The blood choke is quite a bit faster, taking about 4 seconds, whereas the air choke usually takes around 10. Neither is harmful provided you let go when the person passes out, particularly the air choke which is applied here.

My understanding is that the blood choke is banned in UFC because it's "dangerous", but I think it's really banned because it's just too fast.

Mike Tyson's 10 Best 1-Punch KOs

kagenin says...

^kagenin:
Its worth noting that in nearly every street fight Mike Tyson has been in, he has broken his hands or wrists.

The bones in your hands are quite small and fragile. That's why hand wrapping is so essential in all combat sports. With amount of force Tyson puts behind his punches, anyone will break their hand.


Oh, on this I do agree, however, most Karate-ka and Kung-fu practitioners are taught ways to throw punches that are both safe (in that they minimize potential damage to those fragile bones), but also deliver a strong amount of force. We've seen Bruce Lee's 1-inch-punch, derived from Wing Chun Kung-fu. We've seen Elvis drop people with Ed Parker's American Kempo Karate. UFC MMA fighters don't usually use as much wrap as boxers (granted, most don't use traditional boxing gloves - most prefer open-fingered Kempo-style gloves).

To me, this speaks to how unrefined Tyson's technique has always been. He may hit like a freight train, but if you can survive one or two hits, or even better, get him to miss and hit a sturdy object instead, like a wall, it wouldn't matter how hard he hits. Outside of the ring is a very different situation than the structured rules of boxing.

I've always wondered how Tyson would hold up in an octagon. I doubt he'd last long against a fighter with a more varied, well-rounded skill set.

Of course, finding someone who fits that description, and yet is still dumb enough to step into the ring with him would probably be impossible
