I don't think it's the closest legally possibe, if they did the same thing but made them fight at very close range, then I think that would be more realistic, but it is for entertainment purposes so I dunno if that would happen lol
I love that guys articles btw

MMA is a contest, not a mugging, not an ambush, not a murder or a rape...the last one is sometimes questionable though, some guys really will try anything to get the upper hand and the squirrel grip is the least of their habits. But I will point this out, more often than not failure in a street situation comes from inaction or "Nothing doing syndrome" where a thousand possibilities flash through the victim's head and not one of them sees the light of day. Yes I can honestly say that I know a lot of "Combat Athletes" who don't suffer from such a problem because there aren't a thousand possibilities in their head to begin with but people who are used to fighting, be it on the street, in a pub, ring, cage or pit usually have broader triggers for their reflexes than people give them credit for. A thug swings a knife at guy who does Boxing five nights a week and the Boxer usually won't even register the knife on the end of the attacker's hand, they'll just recognise something travelling at a good speed towards them and do what they always do in the ring. ACT. Act fast, act hard and act decisively. He's not going to consider the poor git's safety after that he's going to beat the poor bastard into the ground, probably break his own hand in the process and not even get nicked by that knife. Why? The reason is that he doesn't think, he doesn't act in self defense, he registers the move as fast and reacts accordingly. It's one of the reasons I believe all martial artists should have a go at Boxing, Kickboxing, Knockdown Karate, MMA, Judo or a harsher Wrestling style like Collegate, one of the rougher 'Combat Sports' to get a feeling for being pummelled and make sure they're the type to react to being attacked rather than the type to freeze.

no its not even close. look at some third world country's, like in africa and the middle east. many of those tribes when they fight they have no rules, except it is one on one. weapons are aloud, full contact. and many dont even have a ref. some of them involve kids as well, wheedling weapons. its not uncommon to get a permanent injury or die in them. they are much more brutal then mma will ever be.

I think he means us, legally. Australians, Canadians and Americans don't have legal brawls or even Vale Tudo. MMA has the most open rules in any of our countries. The only other way to get as close to real fighting as you can is to pick fights and then it's not self defense because you've just made yourself the aggressor, it's also not legal.

That's possible. It's a shame too, I would have liked to try Vale Tudo.

laws vary from country to country & state to state
country's that still allow dueling are the best for fighting because anything goes because it's mutual combat both fighters agreed to the risks & responsibilities.
like in brazil bare knuckle fist fighting between townsfolk is nothing compared to the drug cartels killing everyone and the cops have their priorities.
there are lots of african countries with similar laws where if your dumb enough to fight someone to the death and they kill you it's your own dumbass fault kinda like jumping off a building to your death is your own dumbass fualt not the governments so they don't have to deal with it.
that's how the laws should be here too IMO because that's survival of the most intelligent just like nature, the one dumb enough to run off the cliff clearly wasn't smart enough to live sadly.

MMA is not a "real fight". In real fights, you're not guaranteed a fight against someone whose experience is comparable to yours. You don't get to gain or lose weight for a real fight. Nobody pulls out a knife or a gun in MMA. In an MMA fight you don't have to worry about your opponent's brother kicking you in the head because you are winning. Nobody has gotten shot in the cage. Nobody starts a cage fight with you because someone else lied on you. I have never seen a cage match where dude swings a baseball bat at your head while you are trying to walk away.
MMA is not a real fight. No martial arts are real fights. Real fights are real fights. Isn't that a good thing? Isn't it good that you can walk out of a martial arts contest alive and ready for another match, without someone suing you?

There's no guarantee of those last two in an MMA match just like there is no guarantee of knives, brothers, baseball bats or even killing intent in a street fight. The only thing you can guarantee in either is that if you don't do something you will wear a beatdown.
