Moti is a hard core fighter, he can strike, grapple and use submissions. Against someone his own weight he has proven to be unbeatable.
Being ex Israeli forces trained they had experience in Krav Maga at the basic defense forces level. I believe this experience is what made them so succesful against traditional Martial Artists in Shidokan.
When Moti Horenstein entered the UFC he was seen as a threat to the great cross training industry that many of the UFC's fighters were capitalising on. The UFC even had their own instructional set 'The Secrets Of THe Octagon' which covered MMA style techniques.
To ensure that Moti wasnt going to spoil this market for them they matched him against Mark Coleman in his very first MMA fight. Yes Coleman beat him but Moti showed that he was a tough guy and that his system was not so bad against the at the time unstoppable Coleman.
Moti felt cheated and SEG offered him another shot in UFC14. Who did they match him up to? Mark Kerr, I think its obvious what was happening here. Very unfair I thnk.
After this Moti returned to Israel and trained 12 hours a day for 3 months with the special forces. He became a lean, mean fighting machine. One that could eat UFC fighters for breakfast.
He then had a Muay Thai match with Pro Kick Boxer Pat Smith. Moti kicked his ass easily and then Pat Smith demaded a rematch under NHB rules. Moti agreed and proceded to mop the ring with Pat Smith. Remember what Smith did to his opponents in the UFC? LOL, he couldnt do that to Moti.
I hope that Moti gets another shot in the UFC, his destruction of Pat Smith is more than proof he is ready for the Randlemans and Watermans of the UFC.
