Very well, isn't this the almost all fascinating observation: it appears that Martial Artists with the most tattoos on their bodies don't fare as well in fights.
Mind you, this isn't a technological analysis, just an observation based on watching a few UFC fights around the tube. The results of this kind of unscientific survey, however, indicate that perhaps a deeper study is highly recommended.
To be specific, out of the very last three UFC fights When i viewed on television mixed martial artists with the most tattoos lost their combats, 67% to 33%.
Two thirds to 1 / 3rd, that means the untattooed fighters are winning doubly often as their ornamented opponents.
There are a several factors that one should think about in this analysis, and these factors could skew the final results, and perhaps severely.
One factor was deciding, when two fighters together with tattoos were fighting a new match, which fellow had essentially the most flesh inked. Usually, but not always, this seemed fairly easy.
Another factor that seemed to count, be it loosely, was the type associated with tattoo a martial designer was adorned with. This factor is very difficult to pin down, as the fighters tend to be constantly shifting about and the camera doesn't always go for and define the tattoos. The single thing that appeared to prevail, however, was that people with religious tattoos did actually lose more than those that have 'straight forward' tattoos.
Now, here comes the speculation as to why this is happening.
One thought that immediately found mind was the truth that members of the famous Yakuza gangster groups, when they do reach final years, tend to die connected with organ failure--I believe it turned out liver. One doctor surmised, with graph and thicker reports, that the ink on the body stopped proper oxygen ingestion. This would indicate the liver depends on oxygen taken in through the skin more than other organs. This was presented being a straight forward scientific analyze, but I have a lot of questions about this, and would like to obtain a copy of the document. And then perhaps even have the capacity to read and understand the 'medicalese' active in the study.
The other factor that could figure in in this specific notion that tattooed MMA fighters lose a lot more than non-tattooed fighters, has to do that has a person being 'symboled. '
When somebody gets the tattoo, the usual reason is so it 'looks so good. ' This would indicate that a person is more concerned with performances than any actual function; would indicate that understanding how to fight is secondary to how he looks. This is an stimulating point, and one which I might put more credence in versus previously mentioned medical research.
At any rate, I will be glued towards television, come the next UFC extravaganza, searching for factors that will explain this phenomenon. Who wears what sort of ink? How much ink can be involved? What percentage of the flesh is needle decorated? Can punching power be for this size of the printer stain? Is endurance at risk every time a fighter has more art work on his skin? Obviously, a sizable door has just swung open.
