MMA Video Tribute: 9 ‘Falling Tree’ Knockouts

Question of the Day: Can You Choke a Zombie?


(Props: Nightmare of Battle)

Masanori Kanehara thinks you can, and at his open workout in Tokyo he told media members that that’s how he intends to beat Chan Sung Jung, also known as “The Korean Zombie,” (that’s who he’s supposedly preparing for in the above photo, but man what a cheap zombie mask) in the Sengoku featherweight Grand Prix.  Conventional wisdom has always held that the best way to deal with a zombie is by destroying the brain or removing the head, preferably by doing something awesome/gruesome.  

But the rear naked choke?  I guess that could work, though your risk of getting bitten while sinking in the choke seems pretty high.  Still better than an armbar or guillotine choke, though.  And don’t even think about trying to heelhook one of those suckers.

Basically, to sum up: if there is a zombie attack and you are forced to choose which MMA fighter to team up with until the whole thing blows over, Demian Maia is probably not your safest pick.  Your first instinct might be to go with Fedor Emelianenko, but lest you forget, he’s lived with some fear issues when it comes to darkness.  Something to think about.

On a related note, the zombie embodies man’s fear of the crushing force of society and conformity.  Discuss.

    I'm not afraid of darkness, but I fear chicks with dicks--like Cyborg, aka "Long Nuts Herself."

    Hmmm, intresting, but I would have to disagree. I believe zombies represent man's deep fear of having thier brains eaten by some undead motherfucker. But, society is scary to, I guess.

    And yes, Cro Cop is a commando and is nice with the guns. Crucial to surviving zombie attacks.

    You dumb asses... Kaleb Starnes would be the best because he would simply refuse to engage and thus absorb no damage. ...Anderson Silva might do the same now that I think about it...

    Tito is the obvious pick. With a cranium that size the zombies will attack him. By the time they crack open his montrous dome only to find the pitiful bounty inside, you would have made your escape long ago.

    I would figure the worst submission to use on a zombie would be the triangle choke. There are things worse than having your brains eaten by a zombie.

    I do three things, Funk, Fighting, and Zombies. This is my realm. If I could choose a single MMA fighter to take with me I would take Matt Hughes or Don Frye. Not only do they live in the sticks (the safest place to be in a zombie attack- population wise) they have alot of guns, bows, knives, offroad vehicles (tell me Country Boy doesn't have a jacked up F150 or a few ATVs to go get supplies) all things aside you wanna be in the country for the zombie apocalypse. Middle America. Not only is it secluded if you have a farm you have at least 300 yards of wide open space around your hideout. (easy target range) As for submitting a zombie, the only way to submit them is by blowing their fucking brains out, forget BJJ.

IT IS YOU THAT MAKES MY DAY HERE ON CAGEPOTATO ALL WORTH THE TIME. THANKS YOU STUPID MOTHER FUCKERS FOR ALL THE MEMORIES, AND OTHER TOPICS THAT YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT DUE TO YOUR IGNORANCE, AND STUPIDITY WITH MMA. KEEP TRYING THOUGH BITCHES CAUSE YOUR VERY ENTERTAINING. TALK TO YOU DUMB ASS COCK SUCKERS AFTER WORK.

    I'd have thought Hal's First suggestion would be Junie. The zombies wouldn't even go after him as they're interested in Brains. On that note, Rampage is not a bad choice; Coture not so wise. All in all I'd opt for hiding in my patented tri-purpose Nuclear bunker/Zombie shelter/sex dungeon with Gina Carano and Ariany (If I'm allowed the latter as she's not actually a fighter).

    Aren't we supposed to be talking about the metaphor about how zombies represent man's suffocation of artistic freedoms and free/radical thought by the needs/wants to conform? For instance, when you douchebags sit around just making fun of each other or forcing this Cap Locks Hal troll to come from his cave with your taunts. This is an MMA website. Talk about MMA. You're not funny making fun of this dude. Another instance would be the Rovian tactics used by some of the actual intelligent members of the Republican party with this bullshit teaparty crap. Just jacking the Plouffe way to win an election and hit the internetz. Follow the lies conservatives. I wish there was a Zombie Fedor... no I wish there was an army of Zombie Pride Fighters. Imagine Zombie Fedor, Zombie Hunt, Zombie Alesander, Zombie Silva, Zombie Shogun... The Noguiera's are already Zombies everyone knows that...
