A stupid question I don't know the answer to

Yesterday I was at the gym and my friend asked if you glutes (butt) play a part in mma. He meant is that muscle important. I didn't know what to say. Any answers.

hell yeah, as rampage said on sports science when you throw a punch you put your ASS into it. but thats just one basically anything u do u use it.

You need your glutes whenever you raise your upper body from a bent over position or when you extend a leg.

I think they are important for takedowns, sweeps, roundhouse kicks, punches, ...

Some exercises would be deadlifts, lunges and squats.

ass muscles are THE most important muscles in MMA. This is what people use when exploding up to bridge out of the bottom positions etc. Explosive hips are essential. They play a major role in ground game and throws and takedown defense.

I don't know if I agree with you concidering modern MMA. Id say their important but the core itself has become extreamly important since most of the fights nowdays come to controll of the oponent. Abs, back , ass, all equally important. It's not just about getting out, its about not getting fucked while doing it

I wouldn't say glutes or abs are the most important muscles in MMA. I'd rather say important is who has the stronger weakest link.

Ass muscles are the reason Randleman/Cro Cop are so light on ther feet for how heavy they are.
