Joe would get lost in that debate. The audience expect certain kinds of people and responses. They would see Joe as a comedian just mucking around. If they don't take Ron seriously, an elder statesman what chance does Joe have?
The vast majority would not hear anything.
Joe is too short. The taller guy always wins, that is how dumb this shit is.

The more you type the dumber it gets. They don't take Ron seriously for the reasons I said Rogain could have a real chance. The taller guy doesn't always win. Bush sorta beat Gore and horse face. It comes down to charisma and presence, both of which Rogan has an abundance of. He could be taken seriously if he chose to be. He is both smarter and more articulate than Al Franken, Jesse Ventura or Arnold.

You fought to the death and LOST. That you're still alive is by virtue of the fact we agree on the rules and have elected not to kill each other. But that's what's happening. Damn I love jiu jitsu! :D

You can have all your wrist tendons cut before you realize you can't operate any digits. That is a lot of surgery and rehab. Hell you can be disemboweled with a single stroke of an Olfa blade. And yes a gun ends it all sooner than that. Just two decent alert guys can mess up any black belt.

A guy with training 7/10 times wins versus a guy with no training. Add weapons and a guy trained to deal with weapon attacks wins 7/10 times against your average knife/ox weilding assailant.

Now an unarmed BJJ guy vs a knife weilding Kali guy? LOL. I'd rather not think about it. I saw a karambit demonstration and was terrified. If I ever see a guy take a kali stance I'll apologize to high heaven kid. Hahah.

But you're right. Fighting (if not for sport) should ALWAYS be a last resort.

But dude, kali with knives? Cmon b.

I guess the first statistic is fabled, but don't you think an unarmed military guy vs an untrained guy with a knife would take him out?

i agree with every thing said but it seems a littel jiu jitsu bias, like the guy with the best jj will always win in an altercation.

Trust me if i have a gun drawn u will not win...

I avoid fights with random assholes at all cost u just don't know whats gonna happen..prime example see the McAss Whoopin thread.

Training vs no training better than no training vs no training. Training vs knife better than no training vs knife. Math doesn't lie, go ahead plug it in your calculators.

The reality of trying to fight a guy with a knife
