DO YALL WANT A BOXC posted:definitely a humble opinion because leg kicks only prove that the fighter doing them is a complete bitch rear end loser in the Unified Rules of Stockton.

Josuke Higashikata posted:Speaking of Nate Diaz, Muhammad Ali has his moveset in UFC 5 almost 1:1. They might have took the stockton slaps and kicks off of him, but the punches are the exact same. This is so much better than any of the answers I had in my head to the question "so how is Ali's ground game?"

The key to understanding Stockton rules is understanding that grappling is 100% valid and acceptable, however, in this picture, the man with no control of his limbs getting punched in the face is winning the fight and if you disagree you're a bitch.

I dunno, did the other guy flip Nate off at any point in this sequence?

Condit was a killer, dunno why anyone could think he wouldn't have whipped Diaz if the fight went forever

DO YALL WANT A BOXC posted:Now, unfortunately for the Diazes they don't have much sway with athletic commissions or understanding of how the Unified Rules of MMA actually work, but it's hard to find a fight where they lost according to Stockton rules. The Josh Thomson fight, maybe the Rory/Dong fights where Nate was giving up tons of weight. I can't think of one Nick lost except maybe GSP. Nick seemed to have a weird (for him) respect for GSP's cardio and grind. For Nick, he handily lost his first fight with KJ Noons on rules 1-3. He didn't really have an orthodox stance game back then, and his short chopping right that had him standing all on his front foot was totally nullified by Noons' orthodox body cross. KJ knocked him down, refused to get dragged to the ground, made Nick whiff his high kicks, and busted his nose up for the stoppage. The rematch showed that, of course, Noons still couldn't hang on rule 4.

Some amusing screenshots I got of the fight If yall didn't know the name, quote:Ngannou spoke about GIMIK Fight Promotions and noted that UFC president Dana White was unintentionally instrumental in his decision. He mentioned that White's insults towards the discussions for his boxing bouts being gimmick fights led him to use the name.

Shumagorath posted:Couldn’t EA have just used the mocap from Fight Night? I guess that’s slightly less lazy. Mike Tyson is also generally generic in UFC 5 but he was in UFC 2 and had unique animations that made him actually feel like Tyson, so y'know, they give increasingly less fucks.

Here's a prime example of Nick Diaz loving with someone's head and beating a fighter that could have finished him twice had he not been flustered by Nick's poo poo talking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_vrF7N7Cu8 The ref did not stop the fight on either of the Daley knockdowns because he said Nick was still shittalking while getting whomped on the ground. How disheartening must it be to drop someone and be chasing a finish, but you don't get it and the whole time he's laying there while you're punching him calling you a "pussy rear end bitch."
