    Default Should MMA Monitor Uploaded Youtube Fights to Scout Potential Talent?

    It's barbaric, it's inhumane, it's disgusting, but I love watching these random street fights being uploaded onto youtube. In spite of the ferocious atmosphere, there seems to be potential. Should MMA begin monitoring these untrained fighters and look at them as potential future prospects?

    Here are just some of the raw fighting videos which show glimpses of skill

    They already gave two guys a shot from those youtube underground videos. The first one being Sean Gannon who got his ass kicked by Brandon Lee Hinkle. The second being Kimbo Slice.

    On the plus side Strikeforce lightweight Jorge Masvidal participated in some of those and he's pretty good. So dunno if it's worth the effort to scout them much but who knows could be some great talent there.

    I like how the black guy on the first clip showed mercy after knocking the other guy into tomorrow. Times have changed, 60 years ago Rosa Parks sat at the front of the bus to prove a point to the system, now it's cool to sit at the back of the bus and tell white people to get off the bus before you.

I like how these white kids are using the n word the way black people use it, in a non hate, brotherly way.

    being a good street fighter means nothing. i cant help but notice that the idea of keeping your hands up was lost on all of their opponents.

    I don't see it man, all of them have either a huge weight, reach or muscle advantage, or they just straight out sucker punch them. (including sucker punching a drunk guy...talent)
    Hell some of them do things that would get them disqualified (kicking them in the head when they're down), and what are they going to do when some one catches there punches and grounds them?
