In about 2-5years, anyone who fights in Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) thinking ground fighting or stand up fighting is better will be in shock once they are in the ring. The main difference between these fighters will be stamina, speed, power, and personal style.Wed, 21 Dec 2005 14:51:45 GMTFlying Bohttp://www.martialweb.com/Forums/Topic21-55-1.aspxWhen UFC first started, a lot of fights are ending up on the ground. When grappling arts people would take a stand-up guy, the stand-up guys usually don't stand a chance.But now that stand-up competitors are well versed with ground fighting, most fights I see are now becoming a stand-up fight. If this is the case, where do you think the MMA fighting style is going in the next 5 years?Tue, 20 Dec 2005 12:00:33 GMTKicker
