Looks at first the boxer had the judo(ist?), but once the judo(ist?) finally got grappling he took him down! I was surprised he won!

All fights end up on the ground. Judo excels at getting them there faster and BJJ at ending it once horizontal.

Unless your opponent has a weapon.

Yea judoka had no striking game and boxer had no wrestling game. Under these conditions the grappler could just wait out the striker until catching a grapple, then win. This is why the Gracie family pushed UFC in the 90s, because karate-and-boxing-obsessed US audiences were constantly surprised by these matches, and it led to more people signing up for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu!

I don’t know much, but “just wait out the striker” is a skill too, no? The judoka seemed good at feinting and dodging punches, which isn’t something you practice in judo.

Things literally turned around at the halfway mark where the boxer attempted to throw the judoka and he somehow ends up on top of him lol.

That extra knee to the head after the tap out made me laugh.

I don’t think the Thai boxer is very good at his art. Looks like a street brawler to me.

Yeah any of these fighting styles without a “fighting on the floor” component just lose once the other guy brings them on the floor.
