    @punkmusicmetal Yeah. Its like calculating the data from a car crash of a honda civic to a mach truck to see which company vehicle caused the most damage on another vehicle.

    @Mider999 If you’re talking about if Bruce Lee became an MMA fighter, then explain why he is wrong. I think he is right about it. Bruce Lee would have to train and adapt to the fighters now. He didn’t talk crap about him. Lee inspired him.

    that’s not a MMA kick or a muay thai kick it’s a Bas Rutten, kick not all MMA fighers can kick that hard it’s not the style it’s the fighter.

    @mustang501982 Agreed!!! Bas has shown how he has kicked before too, he doesn’t step out and on to the ball of his foot when he pivots to kick, like they tell you to do in Muay Thai. He stays flat and just turns his foot out. People can check this out on youtube, he has a video on his secret to kicking hard.

    Not very accurate because the other guy was using knees to hit the dummy and not kicks like bas

    @thakingkw true, but technically a knee should deliver more force (if delivered by the same fighter) because all of the energy is concentrated on a much smaller point of impact. they should have had the muay thai fighter do a kick as well, or get an MMA fighter who is closer in size and weight to the muay thai fighter

    @dtguitarist Forgive me for disagreeing, but not all kicks come from muay thai. Many fighters use various styles in their arsenal. Watch Jon Jones, Cung Le, Lyoto Machida, etc.

    How come that dude makes it seem so easy? What is it about him that allows him that force ? Is it cos he,s such a nice guy? I mean he always seems very authentic n humble, I’m far more humble than him !!! Lol

    HA! The ninjutsu strike that is supposed to be ‘deadly’ and they REFUSED to use on humans had a 0.8 VC rating and they acted like it was so awesome and would stop the heart. Bas’ kick was not only better than the MMA kick and the ninjutsu death strike; it more than DOUBLED them both…people couldn’t get that number with a baseball bat…

    And for the guy saying it is not an MMA kick but rather a Bas Rutten kick, Bas is a mixed martial artist and a good representative of the sport.

    Bas Rutten is da shit lol. Also he has to be much bigger and stronger than the muay thai fighter, its not just the type of kick its the guy doing it.
