Default Re: Navy Seals vs Army Rangers vs other special forces vs UFC

UFC guys might not stand as good of a chance if killing your opponent is involved/allowd. For example, seals are not trained to get their targets to "tap out", but they are trained to kill in unarmed combat.

They train the SEALs to use weapons almost the whole time. UFC guys train to use unarmed combat all the time. The UFC guys will be much better at applying what they trained in because it's all they train in. It'd be like asking who'll be a better marksman, a SEAL or some random UFC guy. You train how you fight and fight how you train.

The idea that special forces get a cliffs notes version of UFC techniques is... musguided at best

What I've heard from those who've taken military unarmed combat is that while it's good for PT and developing a comabative sense of mind, it is not all that useful. Why? Because these guys probably will never fight unarmed.

In UFC there are a lack of eye gouges, through attacks etc.

So? UFC guys are just as capable of gouging an eye.
