Is smearing yourself in your feces a valid MMA tactic? If so, Punk has a chance of winning because most people wouldn't punch a poop golem.

CM Punk is going to get punched once then crawl around on the mat crying and begging the police to help him.

http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2016/6/29/12056624/stephanie-mcmahon-ufc-fighters-lose-credibility-upon-defeatquote:"Brock is a unique proposition, but just to get to the broader question: UFC is not a competitor to the WWE because we are entertainment and UFC is competitive sport," McMahon said in an interview with Business Insider. "It's very different. WWE is all about protagonists and antagonists where ultimately our conflicts are settled in the ring with action that is akin to Hollywood."

We don't compete with UFC at all, which is why we waited until Brock was in UFC to talk to him again, signed him to a contract where he can do whatever the gently caress he wants, and gave him a god-push.

Was it most? I mainly remember Batista saying how incredibly nervous he was in his post-fight of his only pro fight and that was pretty relevant to Punk's situation since Batista started at an old age (albeit a lot older than Punk) and was also a top star in the WWE. Regardless, Punk seems like he has such a chip on his shoulder in everything that he'd not be overcome by nervousness.

He could employ the dreaded Jon Jones hold my fingers out and let you stab yourself in the eyes with them plan. Except he probably isn't tall enough to make that work.

I don't know, I watched Robbie Lawler and Carlos Condit go to a razor tight decision and as soon as I heard Robbie won I immediately realised Condit is a terrible fighter and was never good.

Ronda's still money. When she goes in against Miesha Tate, people will get excited about it. Easy to follow narrative to get people rooting for either side. coconono fucked around with this message at 21:47 on Jun 29, 2016 |

I agree but thats part of the game, her being so emotionally invested in being undefeatable/the best, and airing out her issues in public is part of why she was really popular to begin with. Plus lets be real people on this site were calling her a dumb oval office who was always bad and stuff the moment she got knocked out, not weeks later when she took an out door poo poo I just think its true that its harder to promote stars in a sport where losing means getting beaten up and humiliated, with everything that goes along with that

I remember people turning on Rousey months before her loss to Holm. The Sandy Hook tweets, her awful "do nothing bitch" viral speech, and her general unstable personality is pretty off putting.

I'd agree that its probably hard to get anyone not-Brazilian excited about Jose Aldo right now. But on the flip, those same fans will fly to vegas, and do the whole VIP packages thing. The mechanics of fight promoting are similar to wrestling and boxing promoting where the wins and losses are just things you use to promote the fight. Good promoting is a combination of name value, match interest and accessibility. To bring this around to Punk/Gall: If Punk loses, UFC's going to have to work harder to keep interest in Punk*. If Punk wins and its not a decisive/exciting finish, same problem. Punk murders Gall in front of his family, then UFC's biggest problem will be the wait for when Punk's ready to fight again. *If this happens, gently caress his fight contract and put him in as Rogan's replacement. Other than Julie Kedzie, MMA is really short on fighters that know what its like to get destroyed in the cage. Interesting perspective.

coconono posted:I thought that was a running joke? like when a fighter loses, we're all obligated to point out he/she was always terrible? The running joke is based on the reality that fighting is really "what have you done for me lately" and when someone loses people start nitpicking all their old fights and unironically claiming they knew they were always bad Anyway i get your point, its not like people totally stop caring about a fighter that loses, but lets say youre an up and coming prospect with momentum and you get your rear end kicked: everyone saw you get beaten up and arent excited about you anymore, then its a couple months off training for concussion protocol, a couple months to get back into training, and a year later your next fight on Fight pass everyones like who is this guy? I dont really know pro wrestling but i doubt up and coming guys have to worry that if they lose badly in a pre-planned fake fight that their career could be over

In wrestling, it's pretty much a given the new guy is going to lose. A lot. This is done nowadays as part of the learning process(it used to be straight hazing). The job for the new wrestler is to learn how to lose profitably. With the advent of social media that part's pretty easy. Get out there and do interesting stuff. MMA fighters are doing this too. Whether it's Sage and Paige doing flips or Bec Rawlins's butt, it keeps the fans engaged and willing to part with money.
