I'd say close quarter combat. In actual close quarter combat and not military style sports, the UFC based stuff...a lot of the moves are with weapons. Read the source published books to find out the author's idea of 'close quarter combat'
MMA tend to focus a lot on melee (punch, kicking), clinching (knee + elbow), throwing/takedown, ground fighting. In fact all the way from clinch to ground fighting are ranges MMA athletes take for granted. Whereas in close quarter combat, they try to prevent your clinch from happening.
Note clinch pickers are specially designed edged weapons to defeat both clinchers and grapplers alike. So be careful about who're grappling with.
With usage of bayonets and other tools, ground fighting is out of the question unless a last resort.
Mainly the CQC won because of context. They shall not go unarmed. If needed they'll use their shovels on you. MMA lost due to concept of one vs one. No weapons.
When soldiers ally together. They are armed with even improvised weapons against a barehanded opponent, they are rocket high in successful outcomes.
Though in a cage, without proper guidance of fighting experience for a cqc guy, MMA wouldn't do badly.
I personally believe Jason Bourne movie are a highly fictional depiction. The fight scenes are way to extended and in a spy situation would seriously put someone at risk of an edged weapon if the fight actually went that long. There was plenty of chairs or long obstacles the spy could use in that room scene. Yet all he did was foolishly pick a boxing fight with his hands.
Note in real life spy service of OSS during WWII, Fairbain wrote: "I have studied this issue for more than twenty-five years and have experienced the attentions of the finest instructors in the world. Please be assured that no martial arts school or technique can offer a predictable method of defense against a knife, and most of the techniques and methods one sees are suicidal against a knife fighter."
It's seriously simple.
Depends. Military training is always superior to non. Most coined cqc types are what police and marines do (thats what im referring to as cqc). Super buff men or women who have knocked many people around because they may have been deployed or a cop working in a bad place like Dayton Ohio (high crime rate). Ill even put prison convicts and gang members in this group because its not martial arts. Its just cqc or fighting or nameless forceful skill.
M m a is usually people with very little experience with cartels and insurgents, let alone drunk steroid induced vandals.
If you got a really bad soldier versus a highly skilled m m a artist the mma artist might win if lucky. Depends on conditions of the opponents.
Military h2h basically is ufc style mma along with judo and some feminine techniques u find in Krav Maga...which in a life or death situation Krav Maga is no longer feminine and is a useful addition to their fighting toolbox..the goal is to fight til u can get help from ur bodies or reach ur weapon...military h2h is among the best second only to russian sambo/systema
FBI has mma and aikido and CIA/special forces types have ju jitsu (Japanese) and ninjutsu (along with kali or other Filipino arts...I think our military also trains in kali--jason bourne) and the Air Force does boxing exclusively
Short answer: civilian or non civilian...mma has cqc but will smoke someone using only just cqc so mma wins
depends im think most ufc fighters can beat anybody
Who's the winner
