    Just watched fight masters on sky + from last night!
    what a load of crap, measuring Baz ruttens kick, the dummy was up against a solid wall thing! obviously this is not accurate, like getting a punch in the head while your head is against a wal!!

    i did find it funny, but people who dont train martial arts would believe most of this stuff,

    it showed randy's ground n pound been double that of a heavyweight boxer! and then explains how knock outs dont occur because how well the fighters defend!

    then said how an MMA punch reaches 1.2 metres average v boxings .8 metre meaning there is more lever therefore more power in the punches, so MMA fighters can punch better than boxers now..

    If you watch this, enjoy-but bring a tub of salt with you as you'll need it.pinch pinch!

    Yea the whole thing was a bit cringeworthy really and the tests were all flawed in one way or another but I like watching anything to do with MA so I sat through it.

    I think it was originally 2/3 hours long but they've broken into 2/3 separate shows.

    They had some big names in it though, Randy and Bas as you said in the MMA one, along with Tito and Dean Lister. I think Rickson Gracie is featured in another episode.

    But yea, mansized pinch of salt as you say

    The lactose acid test on Randy was interesting though
