Way way too small for the UFC, I believe he is 135 pounds.
He would have to go to the WEC and fight Miguel Torres, where he would be slaughtered. :D

He is fun to watch though.

Ya he is a lot of fun to watch! Movie fighting...even with reputable martial arts background is a completely different realm from ufc/mma fighting..

that's because you don't know what you were looking at, as you aptly demonstrated when you were discussing your martial arts "techniques" for taking down the drug crazed guy with the knife, Mr Multiple Black Belts (LMAO).

What you watched with Tony Jaa was a bunch of colourful, mostly single techniques, of undefended blows with some nice jumping and air time, and all that air time would likely get you killed against someone who was actually fighting back and knew what they were doing. Lots of flips, Jackie Chan-like choreographed athletics, and practice for movie scenes. The people were placed, the moves were planned, and you won't notice a hand lifting anywhere in the video from anyone actually trying to stop any of these blows, and in some cases people wearing body protection to absorb the expected oncoming blow.

It's all very nice movie making, but don't confuse that with a display of real martial arts fighting. Fun to watch, but not much real martial arts substance.

You can see a lot more of this in the movie "The Protector",
starring Tony Jaa & presented by Quentin Tarantino. I just
saw this movie, for the second time, last night. Rented
from Blockbuster.


http://www.amazon.com/Protector-Two-Disc-Collectors-Tony-Jaa/dp/B000I0RNWU


"Thai-born martial artist Tony Jaa, whose gravity-defying stunts wowed American audiences in Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior, returns in an equally eye-popping stunt fest that should thrill all but the most jaded action fans. The very simple plot has the soft-spoken, mild-mannered Jaa as a young man from a rural community dispatched to Australia to recover a pair of sacred elephants. Once there, he discovered that a female crime boss (played by transgendered actor Jing Xing) is behind the missing pachyderms, and Jaa pulls out all the stops to recover the animals for his village. As in Ong-Bak, the appeal of The Protector is watching Jaa unleash his muay thai skills on a host of villainous types, and he gets several astonishing showcases in this film, most notably a nearly-unbroken take in which he dispatches some 50 goons as he makes his way up a four-story structure. Those looking for the depth of story or character found in the best of Hong Kong action cinema won't find it in The Protector, but the rewards for action fans are plentiful and thoroughly entertaining. The two-disc Collector's Edition of The Protector includes a wealth of extras, most notably the original Thai version of the film (titled Tom Yum Goong), which runs approximately 30 minutes longer than the American version. Commentary by martial arts writer and fan Bey Logan is featured on the American edit, along with a deleted scene, a featurette about Jaa with Logan and rapper/producer The RZA (who scored the American version and, for some reason, is described as a major force in bringing Asian entertainment to the States), making-of featurettes on both the English and Thai versions of the film (the latter features a subtitled Thai-language commentary track with Jaa, director Prachya Pinkaew, and stunt coordinator/mentor Panna Rittikrai), and three fair short films that were produced for a promotional tie-in contest. -- Paul Gaita"

No dipshit, we're not arguing about whether he practices martial arts or not. He clearly does. What we were discussing is whether this link you provided constitutes a representative display of martial arts skill, which it does not. It is not fighting, it is not technique vs. technique in combat. It is choreographed action, single-sided techniques, an excellent display of athleticism and body movement, and that's about it. It's impressive and it's fun to watch, but basically it has zero relation to anything approximating a real fight.

And yes, I have quite a bit of martial arts experience. Since it's not a pissing contest I'll leave it at that.

The title of the thread is TRAINING, for the scenes in the movie. No shit its choreographed.

Is this better? All in 1 take
