Benjamin Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 I'll be excited come fight night. Getting my hopes up for fights I actually want to see usually end with someone getting injured. Also I love the UFC rankings. Bader cuts a promo with Cormier and jumps up a spot in the rankings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cymbols Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 It's okay, he'll only be keeping the title warm for Nurmagomedov, though I think he might a tune up first, seeing how long he's been out for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cymbols Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 It's absolutely the number one fight I want to see in all of MMA right now though, no question about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 I'm like dead certain the fight I want to see the most will never happen, because one guy is the most injury prone fighter in the world and the other is the dumbest one I also unfortunately don't see any way Cerrone can stop Khabib from taking him down.

HC Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 UFC really needs to amend the knee to the head rule. Jason was getting smashed but the ref separates the fighters because maybe he had one finger on the mat strategically (not even sure if it was even on there). Jason scores a sick submission on the next exchange that doesn't happen if it weren't for him getting that free reprieve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HC Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) UFC really needs to amend the knee to the head rule. Jason was getting smashed but the ref separates the fighters because maybe he had one finger on the mat strategically (not even sure if it was even on there). Jason scores a sick submission on the next exchange that doesn't happen if it weren't for him getting that free reprieve. Sorry, I might be misunderstanding you, but are you saying UFC needs to make knees to the head of a grounded opponent legal? Not at all. I said reform, not scrap. The situation is guys on their feet strategically trying to dangle a hand or even a finger to the mat to draw the infraction. In this particular instance, the opponent really had no way of even seeing if that hand was on the mat in the first place (and it's questionable if he truly reached it as well), yet it caused a break that ultimately decided the match. Obviously a guy who is truly down (be it on hands, knees, etc.) should not be subjected to a legal knee to the head, but if you're completely on your feet and trying to dangle a hand to the mat rather than fighting your way out, that's a little irritating.

Benjamin Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 People should just learn how to throw knees like Carlos Condit. That guy really is just a whirlwind of muay thai. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidMarrio Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Fuckin hell, I've only just seen the comments made by Bethe Correia about Ronda Rousey and her dad. I really hope Rousey destroys her now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Well, she didn't mention Ronda's dad specifically, but she did say a stupid ass thing and will promptly have her ass kicked for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draevyn Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 I'm not sure I understand the stoppage for a busted nose to be honest. I'm glad Condit won that fight but the stoppage just didn't make a lot of sense. What's the ruling on that? I know they'll stop it for cuts above the eye due to it potentially causing blurry vision but not sure on the nose thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 It's probably so that it doesn't cause permanent damage. Same for like a broken limb, I would imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is, a broken limb can cause them to be unable to fight back. A broken nose causes them to breathe through their mouth. Meh, either way Condit wins and I wouldn't mind seeing him work his way to a title fight again. Him against Lawler or Rory would be pretty fun.

Noah Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 I was coming here to comment on UFC. Then I saw Benkid's sig and now I've forgotten what I was going to say. Woo-oo! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
