I know the school (well, I know some people that are familiar w/ the school) where Snipes trained. He is just as competent as any1 else in martial arts. However, being able to absorb strikes to the level of an underground fighter is another thing. I am unsure if that "movie face" was preserved during his training... meaning they went 1/2 speed or 1/2 power durin striking. Either way, I'd bet that he has taken PLENTY of blows in his transition to 5th degree. But w/out any circuit training and full-contact competing (that I am aware of) I think it'd be hard for to take some serious strikes underground. But ALSO as a 5th degree he may not NEED to, if you see what I mean. I can see Snipes' agent not allowing a REAL brawl to go down... his acting career would def take the toll, and all for a lil "ego". At the end, Snipes' has more to lose than Rogan. But I would def like to see it go down... I think it would be more interesting than you think.
