Is there a reason?

Question

that Muay Thai and Brazilian Jujitsu go together very well or do they just happen to be partnered up a lot?

Answer 1

lol....

Answer 2

Karate and judo are a better match

Answer 3

I have no clue but maybe it is because they are partnered together alot. ^_^

Answer 4

In what context are you referring to that they are partnered up a lot? In UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship), I would presume that they would be partnered up a lot because both of them are like a half of a pie. Both are needed to become a well-rounded fighter.

Muay Thai is Thai Boxing, which concentrates heavily on fighting using 8 points of contact to attack an opponent.

Brazilian Jujitsu is a combat sport that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting.

Yet, UFC involves both: combat standing up (Muay Thai), and also ground fighting (Brazilian Jujitsu), grappling techniques and stuff to get the person to submit.

Both are needed to be an effective UFC fighter.

Hope this helped understand the relationship between both fighting forms and how each serves a function in UFC and in order to be a well-rounded fighter, in general.
