Rousey was good at one thing and when that became not enough to win she quit. It's like that kid that was super good at cherry bombs in tetherball, but once people started standing far enough away to bounce it back they lost and threw a temper tantrum and cried and said they thought about killing themselves on national TV because thats just what people do.

She got choked out as a baby or whatever, born with the cord around the neck and suffered from hypoxia, and sustained permanent brain damage and couldn't say words until she was like 4 or something. Fortunately this braindamage also gave her superpowers and she became the best female fighter on the planet

Holly reached out with both hands to touch gloves right before the fight started, ronda turned her back to her (to the crowd's amazement) then holly went "hm oh well" and beat the living poo poo out of her for 8mins then did a sick as hell backflip over ronda's miserably disgraced dead body

It was pretty loving delicious

I feel that this thread has strayed too far from its original purpose which was Mordin talking about how a ninja would win all UFC fights, which is clearly wrong as the strict japanese honour code would never allow a master of any fighting art to sully his name in such a moronic contest.

Fake edit: I thought we established that you should just find and kill the person you're scheduled to fight in UFC as soon as you find out what the card is using a gun while hiding in the bushes because lol honor

Edit: actually that would be cool, basically two people get a license to kill one another and that is the only rule and you film it and take bets on whether unemployed couch cheeto gun range guy can out kill office accountant weekend crossbow hunting enthusiast

Jesus. The implication of what Moridin said is in the ring a ninja would lose, but out of the ring a ninja would win because the MMA fighter wouldn't know the fight was happening until a poisoned blow dart landed in their neck. Which is so obviously true that it almost doesn't need to be said, and yet the video exists.

If fighting in the octagon, an MMA fighter would win over a toddler. Outside the octagon though, the toddler would win because the MMA fighter would be in prison for a decade.

I didn't think it was very realistic at all until they gouged out his eye, then it got even more real when they got the second one, and the ending is like the realest thing ever filmed like recording that for posterity might as well be the entire reason for film to exist

I dunno why goons think that having respect for your opponent and expressing this in a competitive sport is this weird thing.

But then again that would require a understanding about basic social interaction and now I get why some goons are so confused at touching gloves before a fight.

who made this argument? scrolling through this page it was me and another dude who said ronda was lame as hell for not touching gloves like a dumbass baby.

I always like it when dudes, seconds after the fight has officially begun, fist bump before they start trading blows :-]

Brock isn't even that big compared to wsm competitors.

He's a solid 120lb heavier than a juiced up Brock.

I've watched a few MMA fights in my day, but I know jack poo poo about actual fighting and techniques. And I'll be honest, a leaf falling from a tree onto my head almost gives me a concussion, so a question...

When a dude throws an elbow into some guy's face or is doing the ol' elbow-strike-to-the-head-over-and-over move, how are they avoiding shattering their own elbows or hitting their funny bones?

Elbows are harder than most other bones and if they hit their funny bone there's enough adrenalin pumping through them that they wouldn't notice. Sort of like if you've ever run from the police and sliced your leg open hopping a fence.

From what ive seen, most fighters are throwing glancing elbows to slash the other person open, not to knock them out. The exception is downward elbows to the side of the head when clinching I guess.

Thanks for the elbow answers.

I've watched UFC off and on from the very beginning. When it first arrived, it was a total novelty thing and more of a "who would win between a boxer and a sumo wrestler" type setup. Matches weren't one-and-done; they were multi-round elimination matches and several people just forfeited because even though they won, they had exhausted/mauled themselves and couldn't physically go on to the next round.

My favorite WTF moment from this era was the one clear-thinking boxer who came into the ring wearing a boxing glove -- as in a single glove on one hand! Needless to say, he was annihilated in short order. Good times.
