Just show any boxer the old-man fight between Randy Couture and James Toney. Cuz that's what would happen 90% of the time

Yes the video takes on more weight once you know how bad the guy got hurt. It's one of the most gruesome injuries I seen in MMA. But it didn't have the instant horror of Anderson Silva's leg snapping like a toothpick or Frank Mir breaking Nog's arm like a chicken wing because Nog refused to tap out.

I don't know, but the article said it was his sinus cavity that was caved in (there's a cavity right on your forehead). So it's possible that the cavity got caved in, but the skull over his brain is fine.

I didn't find the vid particularly brutal, not being a tough guy here (but I am irl watch out nerds...), wouldn't have known his skull got sledgehammered into itself if I didn't see the nightmarish xray above

It was immediately obvious to me because you never see fighters squirm in pain like that unless something is seriously broke.

Seth Enslow had a similar injury during a world record jump attempt in '99

When he was breathing out, blood bubbles would come out. When he breathed in they would suck back in. Yikes!

Bethe Correia was born in Campina Grande, Paraiba. She graduated from college with a degree in accounting, but gradually found that she was "too hyperactive for office work". While practicing Sanda, Correia concluded that fighting provided what had been "missing" in her life, and sought to compete in mixed martial arts

I think most of those Chuck GIFs don't do anything more than illustrate a lovely editor than a goofy guy. Just have it on him for a second or two. What do you expect him to do other than a fist pump when you hold the shot for 10 seconds holy poo poo.

They are honestly a little concerning. Fist pumping is one thing but it looks like he is having a seizure or stroke.

You see, but you do not observe.

I read Ronda's book

The real hero is her tiger Mom, I should look up some excerpts

Some chapters were hilarious in retrospect about how she'd kill herself if she lost and stuff like that, how she was the Gandalf of MMA Etc

Also the bits about her trainer are hilarious, he seriously is terrible and didn't give a gently caress about Ronda until he started seeing dollar signs

Ronda thought she was in a karate kid movie where she had to prove to the master how serious she was, and Edmond sounds like he was just loving around

Ronda is a nice fat 80's kid with an incredibly overachieving tiger mom and misguided loyalties

Reminder that tonight's UFC event will feature the glorious octagon debut of pro WWE wrestling legend and all-around badboy CM Punk who, if the footage of him sparring is any judge, is almost certainly going to get his rear end beaten from pillar to post by a younger, better fighter. Main card starts at 10:00 PM EST! Also the main event is a heavyweight title bout that's going to be really good if you care about fights that aren't celebrity freakshow cash-grabs nearly two years in the making.

It's a dollar making event but those trashing talking celebes/random athletes trying MMA going up a seasoned fighter always end predictably.

The guy he's against is very green but still has more experience, and also has been training longer and is much younger. It's still looking real bad for Punk.
