vancan2233 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 People really do not understand the damage this athletes can do. I remembering helping a friend train for a novice MMA fight. His leg kicks were deadly. The average guy getting hit by a trained leg kick would go down thinking they got shot in the leg. Even having a kick pad to help absorb the kick you still have to time the kick and allow your leg to move with the kick or you have a bruise on your leg. Nothing but respect to this athletes and they keep getting better every year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also would be cool if UFC offered some crazy bonuses to fighers who finish fights. Would be much more entertaining. PrideFC had it right there. Bonuses for finishes and deductions for stalling. Also knees and kicks on the ground. Stomps were a bit much but loved it nonetheless. Also no elbows on the ground resulted in more finishes from fighter on the bottom. However, the game has grown so much since then I don't know if that would still be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing but respect to this athletes and they keep getting better every year. I did muay thai for years and a properly done kick to the lower leg or quad is vicious. Especially if someone isn't prepared for it. It was one of the things I was better at. Positioning the back foot and using the torque from your hips to snap the kicking leg was something I worked on a lot. I used to scrap a fair bit for a few years with tourists. My friends were a rough lot back then haha.. Snapping a kick into someone's leg resulted in a lot of 'ok we're done here' moments. It was something that wasn't done in MMA much for years (Shogun was ahead of the game there in mid 2000s) along with a proper jab (Bj Penn and GSP showed the value in MMA before most). Both are now two of the biggest things you need when standing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landing a quick leg kick like a snapping jab, will stop a lot of power punchers from getting their strong punch off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to kill someone isn't going to make your daughter feel better. I'm certainly not blaming Cain, because I have no idea how I'd react in this situation, but I know for sure that this was the wrong decision. Not because someone who repeatedly sexually abuses children doesn't deserve that sort of thing, but because now you can't be there for your kid.

Perhaps not an innocent bystander he shot, but when you try and shoot someone for a just cause but end up shooting someone else, that is not okay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down by the River Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Colby vs Jorge might be the first main event PPV where I legitimately do not care who wins/loses. If they could both lose it'd be fantastic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he has in the past, also thought maybe he came out to Rocky too but might be wrong. Was never a doubt Colby would win tonight, would take a KO by Jorge and I think he just doesn't have it anymore against the cream of the crop. Why would Colby call out Porier who was once a featherweight and is lightweight, money fight I guess? Should he not be calling for a rematch against the champ!? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only other thing I can think is Covington seeing Porier as the most beloved American fighter & wanting to be that guy. (given hes coming out with a US flag to KA's music, & also referenced which state both Masvidal & Porier were from post-fight) Maybe I'm overthinking the alternate & it's purely about money, but Covington does seem like an odd character.

Down by the River Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 That was one of the worst PPV events in recent memory. The biggest reason was the amount of ad reads. Including ad reads mid-round. Nothing takes the intensity out of a fight like Anik promoting some $&!#ty Michael Bay movie. Hardy gives no resistance and gets KO'd. The HW division gets no more interesting. Barboza does against a wrestler/grappler what he has done his entire career against wrestlers/grapplers. Never seen someone so willing to accept a bad position. RDA knocks Moicano around and takes pity on him in the 5th round of what should have been a 3 round fight. Covington treats Masvidal the way everyone and their dog expected. Despite Colby winning, he's still behind 2-3 guys for another title shot (Edwards, Luque, winner of Burns/Chimaev) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
