are you trolling?
Modern fight promotion is all about building up guys with easy fights and tons of bullshyt, setting up fights manipulatively with no respect to viability of contenders, and just going for maximum money. Many MMA fighters are limited or unskilled, and thats even in the UFC let alone minor leagues.
Some amazing guys out there, and the general quality level will only continue to improve, but I'll take the dudes trained from birth to murder every single time.
Powerful post, but I must admit I'm more skeptical than you where improvement is concerned. As long as it's as heavily commercialized in the way that it is, it's very easy for the fukkery to dominate the sport.
The idolization of this kind of commercial nonsense is part of what prompted me to move in a more traditional direction.
so what's this thread about Viking(no weapon) vs. current MMA fighter in hand to hand combat?
MMA fighter wins. If you said Ninja or Shaolin Monk or a disciplined ancient martial art then i'd pick them. But not some drunk going crazy..

You obviously have never heard of Lt Michael P Murphy
I dunno breh. it's not just about vikings breh. we're talking warriors. Actual WARRIORS. I find it comical that you'd even think that UFC fighters are built for this sh1t... what about this Aztec who killed eight jaguar warriors before falling

I'm not saying they were superhuman or whatever.. but their minds and bodies were completely different because of their environment. I do not think you can drop a boxing-ass dude to fight the average medieval champion from any culture and find him victorious. At least we can agree that when medieval weapons are involved modern humans don't stand a chance cause nobody trains heavily with weapons anymore
You're talking out of your ass. Don't let that painting fool you. Real Aztec warriors were no taller than your average orange picking Mexican. Julio Cesar Chavez would rape any Aztec warrior hand to hand. Jon Jones would destroy the best gladiator in history(no weapons of course). Your average MMA fighter would wipe the floor with any viking. Berserking or not. If you bring weapons into the equation then I can see these ancient warriors having fun out there. Hand to hand, not a chance.

I be winkin' through the scope
the bias against Western martial arts is fukking silly. no discipline or skills? How much sense does that make? These guys trained hard from the day they were born to do what they do.
With weapons, ok. In a hand to hand fight ill take the UFC fighters because they would beat the shyt out of the guys who you'd place your trust in.

I'm not that concerned about the monetization; we would be silly to blame that as the source of problems in MMA imo because martial contests have been so frequently awarded in history with money, status, and power. If anything is proven, its that competition for these things breeds excellence (even if the motive may be questionable).
I'm more concerned about Dana White arbiting so much of it by himself. I guess promotion will eventually splinter as the market grows, but right now? ehhh.
Threads about demystifying the vikings. Cats saying they were all scary but the reality is they were just good swordsmen compared to a weak handful of europeans. They werent out destroying powerful kingdoms. They were preying on weaker nations who traded with europeans and at best were good maurauders. Hand to hand, they were nothing especially compared to todays fights. They had zero tools compared to what we have today in hand to hand combat. They would be lost. All the Hulk rage RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, in the fukking world couldnt save them from the assbeating todays MMA fighters would put on them. They were a joke, in that regard. By todays standards they are pretty much an inferior class of fighter because today, we have guns and hand to hand combat which renders them, a joke.
They better get a sword if they see this comin

This shyt is absurd, a modern day mma fighter spends most of his time undergoing tailored training against specific opponents. Outside of sparring there knowledge of real combat scenarios would be far fewer compared to a viking.
Moving onto the mental aspect of it a lot of the fight takes place in the mind, the intimidation factor of going face to face with someone with they appearance of a fukking smelly tattooed rotten missing toothed cac savage would definitely fukk with any mma fighters head. If you also take into consideration that these vikings spent a good deal of there time in life threatening situations there moral inhibitions would be non existent they would probably rip a dudes dikk off with they bare hands your modern mma fighter has never caught a body .

These are human beings not monkeys. The last hoora of the bytch ass nikka is *well ill kick you in the balls. * *well ill tear your dikk off* stop it. You're admitting that the vikings are bytch ass fakkits by the simple fact this was the first fighting technique to cross your mind. The balls. The only thing a Viking would be ripping off is the skin on his face to try to put some kind of fear into todays fighter, which would fail as our modern fighters would remain calm and leg kick a viking into another dimension of pain before pulling out the 9 and shaving that beard with some hollow tips.People who keep bringing up psychological advantage/no moral inhibition angle have probably never been in an actual fight and are showing their inner bytch. Grow a pair. Vikings hold no psychological advantage unless you're a p*ssy, which it seems many of you are.
Yea they are putting themselves in the mind of someone who doesnt see a bytch when he thinks about himself. Its hard for people who have been bytch their entire life and lived in a bubble of bytch to put themselves in the shoes of modern day warriors.
.....................i train muay thai an recently started BJJ so shut the fukk up, your exposin yourself as a little bytch right now because if you wouldnt have spent your entire life trying to walk away from fights you'd know any fight has a mental component to it. these dudes spent there entire lives raping, plundering and murdering an when they weren't doing that they were preparing for it. Compared to your modern mma fighter who trains with a coach knowledgeable in the art in a controlled enviornment. If your saying who would win in an octagon with mma rules then maybe id give the nod to an mma fighter but if its a fight to the death best believe the one with more experience of catchin bodies is winning.
