Can I just say thanks for this thread? As someone who was looking to start following MMA but wasn't really sure where to begin, this has been of great help and interest.

Wow, didn't realise throwing in the towel was illegal in the UFC. Is this to avoid corruption or some other reason? I quite like the concept, reminds of Roman days (they did it Roman days yeah?)

Stuff you can watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNMZ8BetdSo http://www.thereem.com/ - An online doc on that follows noted title belt collector and sasmma(pspmma?) favorite Alistair Overeem around for a year. It gives a good insight into the workings of promotion and training. also has an awesome soundtrack. http://www.ultimatefighter.com/ - Every episode of every season + the finales. You might like it you might not. who knows? fighttime.net/ - links to a whole bunch of fights after they are broadcast, good if you want to watch Japanese mma but also like to sleep normal hours.

Thanks for this thread - tons of great information. Is Gina Carano still fighting or did she go into the acting thing full time? She was the only reason I saw to have an interest in Strikeforce. MMA gifs are entertaining and a thread for them would definitely be great.

Salt In The Wound posted:Can I just say thanks for this thread? As someone who was looking to start following MMA but wasn't really sure where to begin, this has been of great help and interest. Enjoying MMA doesn't take a huge investment because any two fighters who "go for it" will put on a good show. I've been watching for two years and I still see plenty of names I don't recognize at all (mostly in the Japanese promotions). It takes time to learn the different disciplines (wrestling, jiu jitsu, judo, the forgotten art karate) to truly appreciate the "battle" that goes on between fighters but you can enjoy any fights today without knowing much. Speaking of disciplines RobBorer, not sure if you want to deal with the hassle of doing this but it might be cool to explain some of the major fighting disciplines/styles one will see in MMA. Nothing too thorough, but maybe pick the best fighter that represents their martial art and give some details about it. Do a little section about "grinders" and show Jon Fitch then ask people to wait 15 minutes before continuing on to the next fighting style.

She was the only reason I saw to have an interest in Strikeforce She's a pretty big draw, so the Strikeforce president will imply that she'll return sometime in the near future, but she was absolutely crushed in her last fight and she's making bank right now not getting punched in the face. She's long gone.

Giovanni Qobras posted:i don't know there's plenty of crossover He got around that whole "no finger in an orifice" rule by going with his toe. Pretty clever! Edit: And you guys really do need a gif thread. I don't catch a whole lot of MMA, but I would keep track of that. You'd need to find your own Jerusalem though... that might be tough...

I do request that Bisping getting punished for running his mouth .gif be posted at earliest convenience. Probably the most brutal thing I've ever seen outside of Hollywood or videogames.

Are there any real single-style guys left in high-level MMA? I guess Roger Gracie might count, but even he seems to be succumbing to wrestleboxing. Also, is the oil check the gayest technique in Our Gay Sport?

I mean I don't know how Cruz's jits looks like, but pretty much everyone else is strong in at least 2 if not all 3 disciplines.

Solice Kirsk posted:Well they're no EliteXC, but they try. I see from the wikipedia link in the OP that they were the ones that were basically building around Kimbo and he got knocked out by that guy with the pink hair and then the scandal surrounding the rest of it. I think I remember seeing a video of that around the time it happened and remembered Kimbo being the guy from the backyard fight videos. It was pretty shocking to someone like me who didn't know the ins and outs of MMA and how terrible of a fighter Kimbo would be once put up against trained athletes. After how high Kimbo was hyped it seemed pretty crazy.
