High level fighters have an understanding of combat that is on a whole other level than your average street fighter. For example, they don't focus on their opponents fists in a fight, but on their elbows. When you throw a punch, the elbow moves about a third of the distance as the fist, so it's moving much slower. Of course having good reflexes and a high fight IQ helps also. Along with sparing countless hours in the gym. These days the only sport I follow is cage fighting, which has been called, 'the theater of the unexpected'. The UFC is the modern equivalent of the Ancient Olympic games. For me, it's the most exciting sport in the world. I'd be fun to travel back in time and watch a sporting event in Sparta.
