UFC Fighters Experience Marine Corps triaining

HellsAngel · 2010-10-01 15:34:48

Several UFC Fighters went to experience Marine training. I've often wondered how a UFC fighter would do as a soldier. I'd say bar the odd one for indiscipline they'd be the toughest guys on the battlefield. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhxDQgbuZ3o

Here's the problem, though. If you're getting into UFC territory, that means that most everything else has gone wrong.

Military hand-to-hand isn't about beating your opponent on points or a tap-out (or even breaking his body) it's about simply keeping yourself alive long enough for your buddy to show up with a gun. An entirely different set of criteria, which is easier to train for and allows for more opportunity for training in all those other things that make Marines Marines which UFC fighters don't need to devote time to.
