It proves one of the things that I drill into all of my guys and, that was drilled into me. Basics win fights, flashy tornado kicks are cool but, BASICS win fights. |
I pretty much watch all of them. I enjoy all the other mma comps better than UFC though. I like UFC but I get the feeling that some of the fighters are going for show sometimes over technique. For example there are some times when they have the back and it looks like a perfect time for a rear naked choke but they want to go for the knockout. Maybe thats just due to my inexperience though. I still love watching the UFC though. I also like the UFC tv show. I learn a lot by watching, especially when I see something I learned in class applied well.
And I agree, the basics are important. I cant remember which one, but one of the gracies says that its more important to practice 20 moves a 1000 times than a 1000 moves 1 time each...or something along those lines.
