Martial arts and unarmed fighting have deep historical roots. Even in ancient times, there was this type of wrestling - pankration, the prototype of modern mixed fighting. By the way, it was even included in the program Olympic Games in 648 BC.

From the time of Ancient Greece and to this day, watching the fight between fighters attracts the relentless attention of spectators.

"Meal'n'Real!" - the public demanded dozens of centuries ago. He demands the same now.

The best fighter in the world in cinema

Films about fights have always been and will be popular, if not cult. An interesting plot, chases, stunts - they captivate you completely. The heroes put into practice various systems of martial arts: boxing, sambo, karate, aikido, and possession of bladed weapons.

Pictures of this genre attract a lot of fans, who immediately create idols for themselves, for whom they are ready to conduct their “fights without rules” in various forums and chats.

Therefore, it is simply impossible to single out the “best fighter” of cinema. I will name only a few of the very best, classics, so to speak, of the genre:

  • Steven Seagal
  • Bruce Lee
  • Chuck Norris
  • Jackie Chan
  • Jean-Claude Van Damme

And also Billy Blanks, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Mark Dacascos, Don “Dragon” Wilson, Tadeusz Kasyanov and others.

These actors were fighters both on screen and in life. Films with their participation played a huge role in the growth of popularity of martial arts. There was just a boom in the eighties, even housewives loved them.

However, the fashion for action films will never go away. I would like to highlight the hits of recent years:

  • "Never Give Up" (2008)
  • “Fight without rules” (2009)
  • "Bouncer" (2011)
  • "Made in Mexico" (2012)
  • "Fighter" (2014)

What is so attractive about this genre? What qualities of heroes are so attractive, especially for men? Character, self-control, code of honor, brutality? Yes, sure. But the main thing is strength. Moral and physical. And the ability to take a punch.

Impact force

One of the criteria for a fighter’s skill is the force of the blow, which for a man ranges from two hundred to a thousand kilograms. Although you can disable a person with a 15-kilogram blow.

It is believed that heavyweight boxers have the most powerful punch. According to experts, the record holder in this category was Mike Tyson. His blow reached eight hundred kilograms. This way you can kill, not only knock out.

By the way, Mike was not shy about using his abilities in his personal life. He himself admitted that his wife Robin received the most powerful blow. At the same time, she flew 8 meters and hit the wall. This is the boxer’s character, for which he paid with three convictions. Well, as they say, there is strength... what else do you need?

Ernie Shavers, nicknamed “The Black Destroyer,” was also famous for his crushing blow. On the set of Rocky III, he almost killed Sylvester Stallone. True, he himself asked not to do him any favors.

Comparing Tyson and Shaney, they say that when Mike hits, it feels like a Ferrari has crashed into you, while Ernie’s hit is like being hit by a truck.

But the impact force depends not only on weight. According to Newton's second law, force is equal to the product of body mass and acceleration. And the acceleration is proportional to the difference in speed, which, when applied to the striking technique, can be called its sharpness.

An example of proof that not everything depends on mass is Mike Zambidis, a fighter from Greece born in 1980, nicknamed “Iron” (kickboxing, Thai boxing).

With a height of 167 cm and a weight of only 70 kg, the force of his blow was:

  • right hand - 1200 kg
  • left – 987kg
  • right leg – 1870 kg
  • left - 750.

And the most powerful kick in the world was recorded by Mirko Filipovic, a Croatian mixed martial arts fighter, professional heavyweight kickboxer nicknamed “Cro Cop”. The impact force of his left leg was 2703 kg.


So it's not just body weight that matters. The defining qualities of a fighter are speed, body control technique, highest craftsmanship and perfect interaction of all muscles.

Fighters. The best of the best

It is difficult to name absolute record holders in mixed martial arts. In this sport, stars come and go more often than in classical boxing. In addition, there are many organizations and many titles. But you can name the most popular fighters.

  • Anderson da Silva from Brazil, nicknamed “The Spider,” is considered the most powerful fighter in the world. He lost only 4 fights out of 35. Fans adore him because he turns every appearance into the ring into a show.
  • Brazilian heavyweight Junior Dos Santos knows jiu-jitsu, has a black belt, and defeated the legendary Mirko “Cro Cop” himself.
  • American Luke Rockhold, world champion.
  • American Robbie Lawler.

In Russia, the most successful fighter based on the results of 2014 is Khabib Nurmagomedov from Dagestan. He fought 22 fights and was undefeated in all of them.

And here are the next ten most popular fighters:

  • Ali Bagautinov
  • Rustam Khabilov
  • Alexey Oleynik
  • Adlan Amagov
  • Rashid Magomedov
  • Zubaira Tukhugov
  • Ruslan Magomedov
  • Albert Tumenov
  • Mairbek Taisumov
  • Omari Akhmedov

The popularity of martial arts among women is growing year by year. Here are examples of world celebrities: Julianna Pena (USA), Isabella Badurek (Poland), Alexandra Albu (Moldova), Michelle Waterson (USA).

The Russian star, Yulia Berezikova, originally from Siberia, is the Russian champion in mixed martial arts. She is a master of sports hand-to-hand combat, jiu-jitsu, sambo.

Julia - active fighter, uses men as sparring partners in training. It is possible that she will become a screen star; she has already starred in two films.

Of course, the attitude of society towards mixed martial arts both in the world and in Russia is ambiguous. Some consider such competitions to be a bloody primitive ritual, causing physical harm to its participants and arousing an unhealthy excitement among the spectators.

Others, on the contrary, are ardent supporters, even fans of martial arts.

Natural selection has always existed in nature, and in human nature one of the basic instincts will forever remain the desire to fight, fight, fighting for one’s survival. And it is the unrealized desire that gives rise to this thirst for spectacle.

Yes, it's a cruel sight. But at the same time it is beautiful.

The fight demonstrates courage, endurance, boldness, professionalism, effective mastery of martial arts techniques and provides an answer to the eternal question: “Who is stronger? Which one of us is the best fighter?

2015-03-27

All undefeated fighters' careers start the same and end differently. Some end their careers early, like Cole Conrad, without ever having to wait for real tests. Others go through fire and water, victories and defeats, and remain forever in the history of sports. Still others burst like soap bubbles and, after the first misfire, never return to their previous level. Almost no one is destined to remain at the top and leave undefeated. Among the elite of modern MMA there are quite a few bright fighters whose records are still decorated with a wonderful zero in the defeat column, and therefore it is especially interesting to watch their fates.

(Russia), 29 years old, over 93 kg, 14-0

It took four-time world sambo champion Vitaly Minakov, representing the FN team, three years to get used to MMA and systematically move from amateur sports in professional. He quickly broke into the elite of mixed martial arts. He scattered his rivals throughout the Grand Prix with lightning, then, almost without noticing any resistance, crushed Alexander Volkov and, finally, passed the maturity test to the Sheikh of the Congo. Now he has several more fights awaiting him under his contract with Bellator, including a rematch with Volkov or a meeting with another unbeaten titled sambo wrestler Blagoy Ivanov. Soon Vitaly will be faced with a choice - go to the UFC and take risks or stay in Bellator without a chance to become a world legend.

Chris Weidman (USA), 29 years old, up to 84 kg, 11-0

One of the best American wrestlers, Chris Weidman, became the first champion with a clean record since Lyotu Machida (Jon Jones managed to spoil it with disqualification). The path to the top was surprisingly short. Through the championship in the Ring of Combat talent forge, Weidman got to the UFC, where after five fights he reached the title fight. Many believe that he was very lucky that by that time the king of the middleweight of the last decade, Anderson Silva, was tired both in soul and body, and therefore lost twice absurdly. But lightning doesn’t strike the same tree several times, which means there’s something about this guy. Now he faces a series of new challenges with a title defense that could drag on for years. First in line are Silva's compatriots Machida and Vitor Belfort.

(Russia), 25 years old, up to 70 kg, 22-0

Before coming to UFC Russian, who had almost no serious rivals, was known to only a few. Now Nurmagomedov is one of the best wrestlers in his division, having confidently won all six fights in the best league in the world. In recent fights, he left no chance for the rated Pat Healy and Rafael dos Anjos, but he is not progressing so quickly yet. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, the competition in the division is stronger than anywhere else, and an impressive line has lined up for the title fight, and secondly, Khabib is still little known in America, and not every MMA fan will find his style spectacular. Finally, sudden injuries and failures of opponents also contribute. We hope Nurmagomedov gets a big fight this year.

There are only two Russians in the top 10. Rating of MMA fighters for March

« Soviet sport" is updated rating the best fighters in the world. There were many changes in the March ranking.

Sovetskysport presents an updated ranking of the best fighters in the world. There have been many changes in the March rankings.

There are still only two Russians in the top 10 of their weight categories. Khabib Nurmagomedov takes sixth place in lightweight, and Magomed Bibulatov is in ninth place in the flyweight division.

The rating of fighters is calculated in the same way as the FIFA rating in football. If you defeat a strong opponent, you get more points. If you defeat a weak one, you get few points or nothing at all. If you don’t fight for two years, you drop out of the ranking.

P.S. If the fighter is in last battle changed the weight category, then he will be rated in this division. For example, Conor McGregor, who previously competed in the featherweight division, defeated Eddie Alvarez in the lightweight division. That is why he is not in the featherweight rating, but is on the first line of lightweights.
