Who's the faster puncher?

[Matt "Gumby" Glach]

That is like asking how would a knife fighter fare in MMA, that art was meant for the streets not the ring.

No way, a knife isn't allowed to be used in an MMA fight. There are no rules against those fast strikes.

[AJ Camacho]

Those punches would work because they're aimed at the throat.

But my chin is down.

I'm sure he is fully capable of throwing a closed fist at your face lol.

I just meant take away eye gouges, neck and groin strikes and their goes a large portion of the art. I guess you meant would a fast striker do well in MMA.

Are neck strikes illegal in MMA?

A strike to the throat or neck with and without a glove is completely different, and I believe grabbing the throat with the intention or ripping it out is.

Grappling will get you killed in the streets.

Yea unfortunately it's worthless when you're against more than one opponent. No one wants to be getting stomped in the face while finishing their triangle lol. That's why I like to train Muay Thai just as often as JJ. Plus striking is so satisfying for stress and anxiety relieve. Nothing like beating the shit out of a good heavy bag
