Isn't it essentially a modern version of pankration anyway?

I’d pay her debts

It is though, MMA is just more complicated because it combines dozens of fighting styles.

Pretty much. Pugilism was more hardcore though, strapping your hands in leather rocks and metal isn't good for either of the athletes tmyk.

Because it’s a lost martial art. We don’t know how they trained, what techniques they used or even the full extent of the rules the Greeks used. Every modern “pankration expert” is a fraud

I thought pankration was bare handed and combined strikes with ol grecco wrestling, but they did do that hand binding in boxing.

Because it involved eye gouging, knee kicks and nut shots. All illegal in MMA because they want fighters to be able to compete more than once before being permanently disabled.

Good job Ubisoft.

Because Kempo surpassed that level 4000 years ago, Baki.

Snu Snu

bas rutten is the GOAT

MMA is essentially Pankration with a few more rules and influences from eastern martial arts. Pankration is essentially "beat the shit out of the other guy by any means neccesary" which is what the UFC was supposed to be when it was introduced.

I see that our karate is absolutely worthless and pointless now lemme suck yo dick kaioh

>Because it involved eye gouging
One of the two rule we know of is specifically no eye gouging - this and biting.

Knee kicks aren’t illegal

No one knows it. Modern Pankration is just what we think they did.
Almost every marital art has eye gouges and what-not. They can be cleaned up easily and are used all the time in fights that have rules.

Lmao this fucking nerd hasn’t even read Plutarch or Herodotus. What a fucking loser!

There's "knee kicks" and then there's knee kicks.

because it's not sporting. participants would have their eyes gouged out/testicles smashed or permanently lose the use of their fingers, wrists, feet, ankles before they ever had the chance to submit. then they could never fight again

and boy, if you think giving license for fighters to use that shit would improve the odds for female combatants then either you have poor understanding of physics/kinesiology, lack imagination or you're just impossibly fucking stupid
