you see the way language works is that people don't actually have to use specific words to mean the same thing.

language is a wondrous thing, I'm sorry your parents, school and/or autism has failed you.

And the same words can mean different things too! I love language.

Hey I just said I don't care who you guys want to gently caress or about your sexual fantasies. Apparently that makes me some kind of rabid tumblerite.

Diego Sanchez vs Gilbert Melendez was the best fight ever



When the UFC announced their deal with Reebok, Reebok put a bunch of 'fighter kit' online that were often outright wrong



Giblert Melendez
Marcio "Lyoto" Machida

Conor McGregor's shirt had an American flag on it.

Fighters who were critical of the errors had their shirts mysteriously disappear from the website.

I also enjoy those really early UFC poo poo show fights with Tank Abbott I think his name was?

Basically it was this massively huge biker dude in the shittest shape who had obviously been in poo poo loads of street brawls and they threw him in the ring with some 9th degree black belt martial arts master.

Spoilers: a 140lb dude gets loving ruined by 20 seconds of the most savage hay makers you've ever seen from 300lbs of crazy swings

Fake edit: I tried looking this up but couldn't find it. Maybe it's not Tank Abbott but gently caress I swear I remember some Jet Li guy going against just some bar brawler and getting utterly ruined in the octagon.

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

unilaterally refusing to touch gloves is like pissing in the karma god's eye and daring him to let you leave the ring on unfoolish terms

yep that's him. He tried to throw a guy over the top of the cage once because he was mistakenly under the impression that it would be an automatic win for him.

He also became a pro wrestler and without telling anybody he was going to do it beforehand, decided to pull a real knife and put it to a guy's neck on live TV.

I'm sure there have been fights like that.

Though in the earliest days with no rules or weight classes, you would see a tiny jiu-jitsu guy in his gi owning everyone. I've watched MMA on and off for a long time, and it seems like pretty much every fighting style has had its time as the "best" type of fighting or the best base for MMA-- Jiu-jitsu, wrestling, boxing (sorta), judo, karate, muay thai, catch wrestling, etc. Though now it seems like everyone trains everything (just general MMA) and we don't see that many X vs. Y fighting style matches. I always thought that was part of the fun TBH.

Also come to think of it, kung fu never had its time as a top style that I can remember. Maybe just not a lot of traditional Chinese fighters ever made it to Pride or UFC. I always wanted to see that though.

There's probably a very logical reason to this: It's all poo poo and only works if both parties are doing it.

It seems like a lot of martial arts are that way. If you throw out all the poo poo that doesn't work against trained fighters they end up looking an awful lot like kickboxing when the poo goes down.

Lyoto Machida, and currently Stephen Wonderboy Thompson are karate fighters, and fight noticeably different from other strikers with lots of success. Joanna Champion (of our hearts) is a thai boxer, and though she takes a lot of strikes to do what she does, her opponents come out looking like they've been through a meat grinder.
