Capoeira MMA Knock Out

[MadPanda]

Was this guy lucky...skilled....or maybe a little bit of both

[lowkickr]

A little of both and a weak opponent. I enjoyed the placement of his hands in defense, had the man kicked him in the waist, he would have defended perfectly.

[MadPanda]

lol i think he may have been confused; he clearly didn't expect what he got...a kick in the face :P

[pennmartkd]

I'd say more lucky than anything. His opponent didn't seem too impressive and he caught him early with his unorthodox style. I'm not necessarily doubting this guys capoeira skill, mind you. I just don't think that capoeira generally translates well into the ring.

[MadPanda]

pennmartkd I tend to agree with your comment, his kicks looked sloppy and his opponent was weak, id agree and say mostly luck

[fmamovement]

I agree that it was luck, but whoa I have to admit, that was nice! The opponent probably hasn't trained/played with a capoeirista before. Another reason why I believe each and every martial art has something to offer.
