Yeah, it’s unsustainable… It’s not about the opponents, at that point, as much as it is that anyone would struggle to continue fighting for that long, against any opponents…
But unfortunately people here will probably miss your point, because they’re not thinking this through rationally…
I think you’re underestimating just how much weaker the average woman is than the average man. I can say with 100% confidence I could easily beat ten women wither in a row or at once. It would be like Godhand.
Fighting has a major psychological component to it, when it's a matter of endurance rather than skill or strength. And when it comes to endurance in that fight, Imp can't be beat. Even his haters' troll account attempts get tired out in a week or two.
It's important to remember that these are not normal women. They're roided to the gills, taking copious amounts of testosterone (and possibly other PEDs).
Of course, it's quite likely that Shields is also on the juice (now that he doesn't have to worry about testing he could be on TRT).
I would never bet a grecko-roman wrestler against a professional MMA fighter unless the skill difference was absolutely vast in favor of the wrestler. A wrestler's move-set is about as limited as a boxer. These fields don't do well outside of their specific niche. They excel within that niche, but neither handle head-kicks well.
Yep this is a thing too and it's because MMA has all sorts you can do which is legal including elbowing and shit like that but the throws, takedowns and locks are what often take the people off guard who train in a style but don't take five seconds to look at what other people are doing which is why it's important to study.
I've forgotten who exactly it was but there was a boxer who got humbled quite a bit by this because they thought they were going to absolutely wreck MMA fighters just because they had been training in boxing for so long. What happened was they immediately got taken off their feet so their boxing advantage went out the window. Joe Rogan talked about this quite a lot in his clips too where you'd have people realising "Oh yeah you can go for the legs when you're dealing with guys like that" kind of situation.
It's good to be specialised at something and I practice Shotokan, but it's also a good idea to know what kind of shit you'll be up against out there encountering random people as well and knowing how to deal with it even if it's only the basics.
This is why I don't think we have a true martial art in the US, and one would actually be useful.
The purpose behind the martial arts in Japan was because the peasants couldn't carry swords and had to rely on hand-to-hand, or improvised weapon training.
I feel like a good martial art for the modern era would include weaponized environments, multiple attackers, and uneven or obstructed ground. You still need to learn the basics, but specializing in one particular "form" of fighting defeats the purpose of a martial art.
It depends entirely on the style and how it's taught, good teachers know the styles really well and the old styles do in fact have a variety of techniques based around this. A lot of people don't know this and misinterpret Shotokan moves badly especially the kata as a result and think the movements are pointless.
Right up until the point they try using them with weapons or use certain techniques for wrestling, takedowns and joint locks. As an example because I know about Shotokan, you can in fact do lots of the kata using either Tonfa or Sai and it makes perfect sense. A lot of the blocking methods are in fact taken from sword styles as well based on what direction you block in with a katana so that can be translated to weapons as well.
Many moves in Shotokan kata as well are bonafide wrestling or grappling techniques. I've chatted to people on youtube about this and made the point and they think that because you have to adjust them to make them work for their situations that makes it wrong. No it's the exact opposite, it's going back to the true roots of the technique the styles often get completely butchered by westerners.
If a style doesn't have this kind of history to it, either the teachers are shit and are just making it up and don't know what they're doing, or it's a made up style.
I kinda lost interest in MMA around the time of UFC's sale.
Extreme weight cutting, watered down cards, and women's division pushed me away, but it was the strict drug testing that was the final nail on the coffin.
And Jake's later fights were frequently snooze fests, and he was never the most entertaining fighter in word.
That being said, I'll buy this PPV in the blink of an eye. Get me some beer and call the boys, cause this is gonna be fun.
If the troon loses, they get humiliated. If the sane person loses, the troon proves to everyone that they have no business being in women's sports.
A win/win.
I think it might be an F2M, though..?
Which makes it all the funnier…
Otherwise it has to be “pre-transition”…
I don’t know - it’s all so absurd at this point that I can’t even tell, lol…
If that's a f2m in the picture, it's the most successful transition in the history of the world lol
It’s actually not hard for a lot of f2ms to pass. Only thing is they all pass as 5’2 absolute betas like this one.
Look at their hands though, those hands look awfully small and girly.
Trans men are F2M. Replace Trans with Fake and you can piece together which is which.
In a row?
Were it one a day for ten consecutive days, I'd 100% say he'd win.
But ten in a row, one right after the other, no breaks? That gives me doubts he can do this.
But I still hope he does.
They are women.
Here's a normal guy boxing against multiple women and beating them all up:
https://youtu.be/F59U2Rot0b8
I know. Again, if it were one a day, he'd absolutely win.
But ten in one day, at that point it becomes a stamina issue.
I'm interested to see what happens. I agree with SteamStache that it's a win-win, however.
That depends on how quickly he can end each fight. Ten OHKOs in a row wouldn't even qualify as a workout.

As usual, when it comes to this stuff.
I think you’re underestimating just how much weaker the average woman is than the average man. I can say with 100% confidence I could easily beat ten women wither in a row or at once. It would be like Godhand.
Exactly. He’s not gonna have to exert enough effort to get tired against even one. This “Mack Beggs” chick is like 5’2, 130 lbs.
There's also a point that he's going to have to be fighting well outside his weight class, surely.
That's not generally a good sign for the lightweight in those situations.
I’m sure Imp or one of a select few others will weigh in with some completely insane comment about pulverizing the femalez into the ground, though.
So that’s fun.
Fighting has a major psychological component to it, when it's a matter of endurance rather than skill or strength. And when it comes to endurance in that fight, Imp can't be beat. Even his haters' troll account attempts get tired out in a week or two.
I simped hard m'lady, can you please stop ruining my life
I'm not going to say you deserve to be falsely accused again, but just that you should pick your sides carefully.
Men who side with women usually regret it.
LMAO don't worry, I'll say it. Bamboozler deserves as many false rape allegations as it takes to learn his lesson.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
lol, I guess the word "normal" should have tipped me off that it wasn't going to be Kaufmann.
