ok sorry, I didn't realize that submissions were actual 'breaking limbs' scenarios and not just holds that the opponent cant get out of. that part I didn't quite get so thanks for clarifying that danger. I really enjoyed watching the Holly holm Vs. Rousey fight and I just want a little more back and forth like that match was since it was two different techniques figuring each other out and countering.

Yeah, any submission is because the fighter is about to pass out from being choked or is about to have a limb/joint broken. If they can endure whatever the hood is then they don't submit and if it lasted long enough I guess the ref would stand them up.

Can someone explain why Miesha tapped so suddenly? The arm was over her mouth and nowhere near her neck and I thought the choke hadn't actually been applied yet, and then she tapped. I thought the RNC involved the arm blocking the flow of blood to the arteries in the neck, but it didn't look like they were in that position yet.

Her neck was being cranked past the point it's supposed to go.

EDIT: Also, you can actually put somebody unconscious with a facelock, aka "RNC on the jaw" - it compresses the jaw against the nerve that runs behind it, and can cause people to pass out.

Ah yes, the two types of fighter; the striker and the other one.

i admit i don't follow MMA super closely but ronda was made to look like a joke against someone who could stop her shots and stand and strike. Sounds like Nunes wouldn't be able to do that though, I guess?

Last time she waited to tap someone pulled her arm off, I understand her logic.

Miesha knew she was done and that gave her a way out without taking more damage

By the power of rock paper ronda, nunes got beat by two fighters ronda beat in 30 seconds or so.

Ronda came into the Holmes fight unprepared, kinda out of shape and got caught early. Since she has almost zero experience in fights lasting more than 2 minutes, she panicked and got bodied.

But honestly, Nunez/Holmes will probably be the next fight, because who knows what Ronda has been doing

Didn't she say something like "back to work" after the Tate/Holm fight?

Al-Saqr posted:

Oh I dunno, make it more points based, maybe instead of one tap out it can be three strikes, etc. more emphasis on technique, etc. I dunno, like, we've had multiple championship matches decided by one single quick stroke and it's too quick to really get excited or interested in what's going on.

Aldo looked loving phenomenal. There is no denying that. I didn't want to see Aldo lose, so much as I wanted to see Edgar win.

Charlie is the best. He's upset, though. He's licking my knee to death with that sandpaper tongue of his.

If you get knocked out in 10 seconds, then the second fighter comes in to take your place. Usually Zangief or Mega Man.

Brock's eye looks really bad.

Also, he seems to have improved his fight camps for this fight.

He's leaving the possibility of coming back for more fights really ambiguous.
