MMA vs Traditional Martial Arts which would win in a death match?

[DaOne]

mma is just a bunch of traditional martial arts in one... so mma would probably win

[coloneledeke]

Hand to hand I would have to believe an MMA fighter would win because of his abilities to take hits and use styles that are better against specific styles. However, many martial arts aren't pure hand to hand combat. Give someone who knows Tae Kwon Do a pole and we'll see how well Brock Lesner holds up

the only thing i can say is you tend to fight the way you train. when you been at it for years, that it is almost second nature. you don't have to think to much about it. most mma fighters will train none stop to compete in organized sport.when a MA trains to its generally to real life.

MMA....sorry....but its been tried....there have been SEVERAL traditional "masters" that have tried there luck in no holds barred matches....and they were ALL quickly defeated....

I respect anyone who trains in anything....BUT, you have to be realistic....besides, remember that the the techniques used in MMA, were originally taken from the traditional arts....
