MMA Fight News - Thumbs up or Thumbs down?
Written by Andy Torchon
During several fights on the UFC, WEC and IFL the fighters involved unintentionally thumbed the other in the eye. This is going to be a big problem unless a solution is found and quick!
Boxing extremely had suffered from these kinds of digital strikes to the oculars the rest of the glove making it improbable to stick out and stick it to their opponent.
Thumbs to the eye during a
MMA fight can cause larger damage like detached retinas and scratched corneas not to mention blurred vision. Getting poked in the eye may not always be the most painful of strikes on the other hand for a fighter it is more than just a minor nuisance. The battle could continue if there is no serious harm done however the combatant moves approximately the cage or phone with hesitance and in multifold cases, diminished vision which makes the playing field uneven, all other matters being equal.
But unlike boxing, where grabbing the opponent is illegal,
MMA fighters need to include full grip capacity. Fling applying a Kamora without your thumb to wrap around. Impossible! Without the thumbs eliminates most JuJitsu and wrestling techniques.
So what to do?
Most fighters in the MMA keep their hands open in a defensive posture and close them at the persist moment upon the strike. Those that don't respond hastily sufficiently normally prod a finger or thumb in their opponent's face and subsequent eyeball. Their may be a doctrine though.
The
gloves worn by Bruce Lee in the classic martial arts film that started the solid western craze for the genus - "Enter the Dragon" may hold the key. In the genesis of the film Bruce is fighting Samo Hung for the adulation of his Temple. The kick, punch, throw and grapple their custom several minutes of combat. Bruce wins by the way.
And how does he defeat his opponent? No not ethical with Kung Fu/JKD. He gets Samo in an armbar and Samo submits.
One of the intriguing aspects to the battle royal are the gloves being worn. They look to be the amount of hockey gloves with honest as much padding.
These are over sized compared the ones used in today's MMA contest on the contrary perhaps incorporating slightly larger mitts that cover the fingers and thumbs would prevent inadvertent finger and thumbs being stuck in the eye and confess the fighters to go on unmolested. At least to the eyes.
