haha, this is pretty funny.

 

I guess arcaneKnight has never done a counter in VI. oh well, I'm always finding new stuff in this game... but it's kinda wierd to have never fought a random ped... You're missin out ArcaneKnight, put the gun away and throw some punches.

Wow dude.... you don't have to be a mixed martial artist to throw a spinning back fist. You are uneducated in fighting and probably just a kid who thinks it is the "new thing" to love MMA and Brock Lesnar. I have been an avid MMA fan for 6 years now. The whole thing about MMA is in the name, mixed martial arts. Any martial art can have a spinning backfist, hell, I don't even think it can be classified in 1 art, it is just a strike. Luis just because he can fight in the street doesn't make him an MMA fighter.

6 years? You're a TUF nub. I've been watching MMA since UFC 1. I think I know what Im talking about. Show me 1 street fighter that has ever thrown a spinning backfist in a street fight, and Ill show you an MMA fighter. Luis is a bouncer, he's had MMA training. Bouncers arent bouncers unless they're trained on how to fight.

 

Take it from me, Ive been watching MMA since day 1. Ive been watching it since Bloodsport. Im pretty sure I know what I'm talking about. Luis is a mixed martial artist. That's why he's in Fight Club. Take notes.

Congratulations, I was 2 years old when UFC 1 aired. But I guess being 18 now, and watching UFC for 6 years makes me a TUF noob. Sure. Sorry but watching MMA since i was 12 is a long ass time, i bet not many, or any other kids were watchin MMA that young. I have encountered so many people like you online who give the same "DAY ONE YEAH I AM THE ONLY ONE ALLOWED TO WATCH MMA IN THE WORLD EVERYONE ELSE WHO WATCHES IT IS A NOOB!!!111" Take the cock out of your ass and get a clue man.

But Niko can do that move. Or is it slightly different guys?

The only difference between Niko's and Johnny's moves is that Johnny punches like Mike Tyson

Both Niko and Johnny can do a spinning back fist. It's one of the counters. And maybe Luis is trained in MMA. But not just because he can do a damn spinning back fist. You sir, are a moron.

In the trailer @ 0:44 seconds.. You see him do a SPINNING BACKFIST right to this guys jaw. Remember in SA there were 3 different gyms you could go to, to learn different fighting styles? Well Luis is a complete mixed martial artist. You havent ever seen anyone do a SPINNING BACKFIST right to someone's jaw.

 

This is awesome. Luis's hands are registered as deadly weapons. He can kill anyone in the streets with his bare hands. Im going to be driving around looking for old grandmas walking the streets, hop out, run up and deliver a spinning backfist right to their mouth.. For no reason at all. Just to do it.

 

The spinning backfist is single handedly the best MMA move of all time. With this move alone, I know Luis is a mixed martial artist. You dont just see any random bum that fights in the streets throw a spinning backfist with as much ease and authority as Luis.

 

Conclusion.. Luis is a MIXED MARTIAL ARTIST. If you disagree with me, you will catch a spinning backfist to your upper lip in free mode. I will find you, and I will catch you. I have NOS now.

 

 

AND YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST.. The new attack chopper will be called the "GHETTO BIRD".

Why is that so important/special? Niko is trained in Krav Maga...

Niko's move set is Bas Rutten's unmistakable blend of Tae Kwon Do and street fighting. It's not Krav Maga. Which in the world of martial arts, is really just another internet fad. (Which is what it is)

 

 

Rutten also did motion capture for main character Niko Bellic's fighting moves.

As for the spinning back fist, it's a move taught in many different martial arts, Tae Kwon Do, Kung Fu, kickboxing and Muay Thai spring to mind but the origins of the move itself are from street fighting. There's really no relevance between using the move and being a trained mixed martial artists. I see that's been pointed out many time already though. tounge.gif

I've hit people with a spinning backfist, and I've never had any formal MMA training. Everything I know about scrappin' I learned from experience, not some pop-culture TV show. It's just something you do in the heat of battle, especially if someone is trying to throw you off balance (or just spun you around with a strong hook). To assume that only an MMA fighter could figure out something as simple as a spinning back fist is f*ckin' retarded.

You shouldn't just throw around the word "Official" either.

Actually before the game even came out Rockstar stated that Niko used Krav Maga

Exactly. I'll see if I can find a link/source for that.

If you watch the credits all the way to the end in IV, you`ll see that Mario D`Leon, Bas Rutten and Michael Hollick did all the body doubling for Niko. Mario has studied:

 

Urban Contemporary Ju-Jitsu, NYC/NY, Self-defense, Grand Master Bill McCloud

Combined Martial Arts, Astoria/NY, Boxing, Steve Katz

 

So yeah, Luis can fight.
