Would a Navy Seal be able to defeat GSP in an unarmed fight?

I mean, people keep calling GSP the best fighter in the world, or best martial artist etc... So what would happen if lets an enemy had GSP's skillset and moves, and a Navy Seal was on the receiving end of these moves, and for some reason he's been completely disarmed prior to the fight (no guns, no knives), and they're fighting. Who has the edge?

Cause I was just wondering, if GSP is the best fighter and all, wouldn't a Navy Seal be pretty much screwed if he had to fight someone nearly as good as GSP? Naturally, that's something I have trouble swallowing; a Navy Seal losing to an MMA fighter. Yet, everyone who uses Krav Maga in UFC or MMA fights seems to always get owned.

How many ex-Seals do we see in MMA? There's your answer.

GSP would be able to defeat chuck norris, thats how good he is

So, in this fight you remove every weapon a Navy Seal normally trains with while letting GSP keep all of his? Seems a bit one-sided.clayron

Not really, I mean like.. hypothetically, if they were fighting on a staircase, or in abandoned house etc.. Not MMA fight. Like, during the initial scuffle, the seal loses his knife.

If a Seal could just shoot him, there wouldn't be a contest at all, but like lets say a Seal is trying to escort someone out of a building, and a hostile with GSP's skills attacks him and they start brawling.. Is the Seal pretty much screwed at that point?

GSP = gestapo?psychobrew

Something something Anderson Silva!!

Read chapter 187.

yes, of course he does. Many of his foes begin the matches with weapons, only for GSP to disarm them

it depends on the SEAL, the rules of the fight, and a number of other factors. In most cases, though, I'd say no.thegerg

Yeah but I'm pretty sure that a super saiyan goku could just about edge GSP out =]

[QUOTE="psychobrew"]GSP = gestapo?jimmyjammer69

I have ways of hiding from them.

This is kind of a dumb scenario. Two different styIes and techniques.

Give an MMA fighter a gun and he wouldn't be able to hit s***. Throw a Seal in the arena and he'll be submitted (unless he's monstrous, in that case his weight advantage puts MMA fighters at a loss).

If it was underwater then deffo the seal as it could drag him under and such, and be really fast. On land its totaly unfair seals can hardly move about at all.

[QUOTE="sSubZerOo"].. Lets go see.. A seal trains to maim and kill people.. A MMA fighter is trained to knock out or sub due their opponent in a environment where there is rules.. IN a street fight I will have to go with the Navy seal thats close to his size.. When they say best fighter in the world.. They mean best organized sport fighter.. thegerg

Mmmmm.....Meatloaf.....

I already said, unarmed street fight, probably to the death.

Seals are not trained for fist fighting. And they'll make sure they won't lose their weapons.

I have no idea who GSP is, but a Navy SEAL would clean up any punk MMA fighter. Those guys are trained to kill people with their bare hands, a SEAL would have no trouble wrecking an MMA fighter. Hell, I would even take a US Marine over any of those fighters.monkeytoes61

Which is why we see ex-Seals and ex-Marines dominating the MMA scene right?

Typically, a special forces personnel would be trained to completely neutralize an opponent using any means necessary. MMA fighters aren't trained to kill. That being said, I believe the SEAL would be willing to go a lot further towards hurting GSP than vice versa. GSP is altogether a nice guy and unless he doesn't kill the SEAL, I doubt the SEAL will give up until GSP is dead. GSP is a complete beast, don't get me wrong, but he isn't a finisher either. There wouldn't be judges to score this fight so GSP would have to pull a cat out of the bag to make sure it ends early in his favor. He relies a lot on endurance and stamina to win fights. I believe the typical SEAL would have enough stamina to keep up, thus neutralizing GSP's advantage. Honestly it's tough. Also, just because SEAL's aren't in MMA, doesn't mean they wouldn't win a fight against an MMA fighter. That's illogical to assume.

Another way to look at it is that they're trained differently. SEAL's are trained for war, to fight the typical wartime combatant. Wartime fights are completely different than MMA fights, you can't just wait around for your opponent to do something.

Easier way to ask this.

Who would win in a physicalfight, GSP or a Navy Seal?

You're giving the SEAL too much credit. While they are trained in unarmed combat, that doesn't automatically mean they can dominate anybody. While a SEAL may be able to take out your average person in a fight, that doesn't automatically mean they can also take out a third degree black belt. It will depend more on the individual than just being a SEAL. I can show you one Navy SEAL who is 5'7 and 145 and I can turn around and show you another who is 6'3 and 250. Which one do you think will have a better chance against GSP?

No it's not. If SEALs truly had the advantage in hand-to-hand combat with their training alone, why wouldn't they just dominate the MMA scene and make millions of dollars?

GSP could win easily. For some reason, people think Navy Seals are some kind of unarmed killing machine... meaning without a weapon they could destroy anybody in hand to hand combat. It's not true. Most of their training is NOT hand to hand combat.

GSP on the other hand (and other MMA fighters) spend every waking moment fighting. It's what they do. Not only that, but their conditioning and training is geared towards fighting. They are in better "fighting shape" than Seals. Just like a football player isn't in shape for basketball, and a basketball player isn't in shape for football. Their conditioning is different. GSP trains to fight.

You guys completely underestimate MMA fighters while completely overestimate military in hand to hand fights.

Depends. If it's an actual match GSP would win. If it's in the street I'd take the ex=seal since GSP can lay n' pray in a real fight. :P
