Count Roland posted:A few pages ago there was a question and several answers about why elbows aren't used more often. This sort of analysis is exactly the sort of thing I'd like to read and post about, so here are my thoughts. I use some judo terms here: uke is the person performing the technique, tori is the partner. You have uke and tori backwards. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tori_%28martial_arts%29 Nik Dennis is also a good example of creative standing elbows.

That's absolutely shocking. It's gonna be hard watching that guy coach for the rest of this season of TUF - he has been pretty visible so far. Some gross negligence causing death in that video, no matter how you slice it. I won't be surprised if someone ends up in jail or sued.

Yuriy posted:The thing that's a little scary is that I've seen guys way more hosed up looking during and after a fight, and they ended up "fine"-ish From what I understand the #1 factor is past and existing concussions, which is why TJ isn't coming back until he's 100%, and which is why Nik Dennis called it quits. It's why Travis Lutter was able to knock out Marvin Eastman with a glance. It's why Eric Lindross spent half of his career on the DL. Any headshot on an already-concussed brain can cause serious damage. If Roufussport is as bad as Rose is making it out to be right now, there's a good chance that this guy had taken a number of serious headshots in preparation (probably "to toughen him up"), and that was likely the underlying cause.

Yuriy posted:I don't know where these Rose stories are from about Roufous Sport, can you like describe what poo poo goes down? Check her twitter/instagram. Basically the short version is that she and a number of others are accusing the coaches there of physically and mentally abusing fighters in their care - putting 35ers and women in against big men for hard-contact sparring, berating them as wimps when they get hurt, pressuring them into continuing, &c. https://twitter.com/rosenamajunas/status/534145581925797888 I think this one encapsulates it well.

He still trains the same way, but he doesn't understand that he succeeded in spite of training like that, not because.

I mostly unironically liked Jardine, and I was unironically sad when he was cut. e. is Bader the new Keith Jardine, perhaps on a wrestling model instead? Good enough to be a threat to anyone in the division, has wins over top guys, but will never be the top guy and probably never get a title shot? Gets KOd in hilarious ways with enough frequency to make his fights worth watching? I guess the counterpoint is that Jardine's fights were often cool when he was winning them....

One enjoyable aspect of the UFC 12-35 era is that you can see the specific fights that led to specific points in the unified rules. Watch Militech-Burnet and see if you can guess which rule came from that fight!

Count Roland posted:Ugh, thought I might. I learned it backwards and have not been able to shake it. I originally started Judo when I was like 7, and my dad was the sensei, so all of the basic vocabulary is as natural as English to me. Funny thing is I can't remember the Japanese names for ne waza aside from ude garami, and I think that's in part because they didn't start teaching them til we were teenagers, and since I had moved to a different sensei, I wasn't having someone randomly say them to me at all times of the day.

Muttonchips posted:My bad- I didn't mean to go off on a hypothetical tangent. I was just trying to gauge the difference between women and men in combat sports. Seems very unlikely we'll see a male on female match in the UFC so it's basically pointless to speculate. Asking about men vs women in combat sports isn't really a relevant question any more than asking what would happen if Demetrious Johnson fought Chris Weidman. They compete in separate divisions for a reason. What's more important is to just judge any fighter in respect to his or her own division. Any other absurd battle of the sexes type proposition is just a sexist red herring which trivializes the womens divisions as some kind of novelty act. So who cares if Floyd fought Ronda? It's literally never going to happen, and it only gets brought up by people trying to build hype (for Ronda). Her entertainment value is in watching her faceplant Brazilian book keepers.

Muttonchips posted:Here's an interesting fact. There used to be a time in UFC when there was no weight class. Demetrious Johnson facing off against Chris Weidman could have been a real possibility. Personally I would have love to see them bring back tournaments without weight classes. Post-diverticulitis Brock Lesnar versus Louis Gaudinot would make for an interesting match-up, imo. They didn't add in weight classes until UFC 12. Here's an interesting fact. You're hanging out in a thread that's full of people who have seen literally every UFC event and you're turning into a smarmy know-it-all when they're giving you polite and realistic answers to your dumb questions.

I.N.R.I posted:do amateur fighters cut weight too? if i had to guess, probably some do depending on the sport, but its not necessarily required to be competitive as an amateur right? like maybe its more important in grappling than say kickboxing or something. anyway, id like to know for sure. I'm not a significant competitor, but I cut 9 pounds for my last judo tournament, and then used that weight cut to maintain weight for a bjj tournament two weeks later. Granted, part of why I did that cut was to see what it was like and if I could do it.

Mr. Nice! posted:And what was your response? Will you be doing it again? If I do it again I'll start the cut 3 weeks out instead of one week, or maybe like a week for every 3 or 4 pounds I have to do. This one was last minute because I had been misinformed as to what the weight classes were going to be for that tournament, and I previously thought that I only needed to do 2-3 lb. I knew that I could do it because I once burned 7 pounds in one day, mind you inadvertently. Knowing that you've passed the finish line once before makes the journey quite a bit easier.

Gadamer posted:Would we see a drastic shift in match ups if they turned weigh-ins to day of? It seems that if they did that roughly the same people would be fighting, just shifted up one weight class. The only conflict I can see is the really big guys who need to cut down to 265lb. They'd just fight dehydrated.

Ty1990 posted:When did the UFC implement the rule that they don't grant you a 1lb allowance for title fights? Maybe it's a wrong article but I'm reading about Travis Lutter's weight cut for Anderson and it's saying he needed to hit 186.5, not 185, in order to make weight. Not the UFC's rule - it's a commission rule. Some commissions allegedly have different rules on this, too. A big hurfy controversy in GSP-Diaz is that the Quebec Athletic Commission supposedly let GSP weigh in at 171.

Apparently they'd had some issues in the past and potentially YOSHIKO didn't want to drop the title to Act, but whatever the case, YOSHIKO instantly turns things into a shoot and starts punching the gently caress out of Act. Act, who already had some health issues, including limited sight in one eye, was left with a broken orbital, nose and cheekbone, ultimately forcing her retirement. YOSHIKO was indefinitely suspended and then released. As far as I'm aware, she hasn't worked again at the vid at your knowledge of Japanese women's pro wrestling.

Captain Log posted:It's sad how boxing used to be a bunch of fun to watch twenty years ago and now it's just junk. Klitschko is so God damned boring it's hard to comprehend and he only just lost to a giant British retarded person. In nineteen Klitscko fights I really can't think of a "Holy poo poo!" moment. Boxing is so very watered down and has too many weight classes that it's very hard to give a gently caress. I'll watch old videos from the 80's or even ancient stuff like Willie Pep and really enjoy it. I wonder what the sport needs to be truly rejuvenated. I dunno. He had that one a few back where the guy caught him clean and he stepped out, scowled at the guy, and just knocked him out with his next attack as if he had been free to put the guy down at any moment in the entire fight and just decided to end it there. It was amazing in a vacuum but the more I think about it I get angry that he only did it that one time instead of in every fight.

Bluedeanie posted:As far as I know there's nothing formal about this, but in every case where a fight fell through for someone last minute because the other guy hosed up and the ufc couldn't get a replacement together, they paid that guy his show pay. It won't compare at all to what he would have gotten in sponsors, ppv points and other bonuses from actually fighting, but DC likely didn't bankrupt himself preparing for a Jones fight that didn't transpire. I wonder if there's something in the contracts that prevents DC from suing Jones over this. That would be amazing fun.
