Which martial artist would you fight to get 100,000 dollars?

[Oliverlogan263]

The fight takes place in an octagon cage. It has five rounds; each round is 5 minutes long, with a 1-minute break in between.

You have 1 week of prep time, and both you and your opponent are bare-handed, which means your opponent is bloodlusted.

Karate guy is a kyokushin practitioner who has done the 100-man kumite, and he's Hajime Kazumi in his prime.

Taekwondo guy uses WTF (the one used in the Olympics) style; he has 2 gold and 1 bronze medal from the Olympics, and he's Steven López in his prime.

Boxer Guy is an undefeated boxer who defeated Canelo Álvarez, and he holds the WBA light heavyweight world title. He's Dmitry Bivol.

if they're all pros at it...

the taekwondo guy might be stupidly fast, I would not want to catch one of those slap-kicks

the boxer could fight forever at top shape, at least outlast me

so then, I would take my chances with the karate dude

[JonCobretti]

Gimme either of the first two and I'll kick their ass

Karate is BS , ngl.. lot of amateur boxers whoop life long karate dudes.. there's a reason why no reputed MMA fighter uses them

With basic boxing combined with Wrestling/BJJ you can easily beat a karate Guy.. you just need to not get hit and take him to the ground and your wrestling skills would do the rest

Boxer, so I can spam kicks to the knees and switch to BJJ if he gets close enough for a takedown. This is assuming he has no kicking experience or grappling experience.

[BetaBucks]

I feel like I had to come back to point out that someone that "trains" karate or any TMA, but doesn't spar or compete regularly is not actually training in it. It would be like the boxer only training on a punching bag. Or a BJJ person that's never rolled.

Karate Combat fighters are savages. And so are TKD competitors. Air karate practitioners are not actually fighters, so I wasn't counting them for this question.

"BJJ?"

[BetaBucks]

Brazilian jiu jitsu

[handsomelad70]

Thanks, BetaBucks !!!

[TommyMountainFigure]

I understand bare knuckles and how long the round lasts, but can you be specific please with regards to the rules?

For example, am I allowed to use elbows, knees and feet against the boxer?

[ChicoFromThe305]

Boxer, I've got the best chance going fist to fist, they can miss me with all the hayaaa shit

[abc3643]

You do what Satan did in South Park...

[HighValue]

What are their weight classes?

All things being equal, I would choose to fight the boxer figuring that he is less ready for hard leg kicks, and grappling moves.

[MrGSpotHer]

I'd fight anyone for that money 😂.. But for a answer what's the rules of this fight?

[AviatorTom]

I'd need a lot more money than $100k. Add several more zeroes and I might consider a match with Karate Guy.

[handsomelad70]

Boxer, because martial artists' hands and feet can be lethal, much more so than boxers' hands.

[Redstang88]

Karate is basically just a glorified dance class now. I’ll take my chances

[massb]

I know how to box a bit but illl choose the karate guy

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

[DryGermanGuy]
