This isn't Rome, I don't care what Gladiator Man lead some to believe, that was just silly marketing.
I am not talking about a sport or just a bullshit fight in a bar. An actual fight where your life is on the line looks nothing like MMA. If you try to approach it like that, you are likely going to die.
When your life depends on it, there are no rules. No verboten strikes. You have to strike the neck, eyes, groin, whatever that you can do inflict the maximal amount of lethal damage on your opponent before he kills you.
MMA is NOTHING like such a fight.

There are no rules, no judges decisions, and no ref, in a fight to the death, plan accordingly. That should go without saying.

All that shit people train for in terms of an MMA match is not really what they need. You are not trying to lock your opponent into submission or look like a movie star. Your goal is brutally destroy another human being as fast as possible before he destroys you.

If you choke your opponent unconscious or break their limbs that can help you "brutally destroy another human being as fast as possible". Plenty of it is applicable, point fighting, not so much.
In a fight to the death, you don't let go if they tap, that's for sure.

Sure, you can use it in a fight. The problem is that you are constantly training your body to respond to each situation as if you are engaged in a sport. But a street fight where your life is on the line is not a sport. You want your body to be trained to go to the most lethal action possible.
For most fights, that MMA stuff is just fine. I am talking about when it really matters.

What part of, "As close as you can get" do you not understand?

He's just going to say Combat Sambo, seeing as they still have legal headbutts and groin strikes.
You are walking into a technicality. "As Real As It Gets" is a marketing slogan.

This is what happens when people start white knighting themselves into a deadly fight while still thinking in terms of sports and television.

Not seeing how that story relates to the discussion at hand, that seems like a stretch. What makes you think sports or television lead the two dudes who got stabbed into thinking it was a good idea to step in, in that situation with a "sporting" mindset instead of "life or death" mindset?
