projecthalaxy posted: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. Jon Fitch is the second best welterweight in the world and all he is is a wrestler, and he's not even that great of a wrestler, mostly he's just bad at losing.

BlindSite posted:Conversely though it's not overly uncommon to see a guy tapping two or three times, then much more overtly when the ref doesn't notice it. This goes back to MMA being regulated by boxing imbeciles, though. If MMA had more competent refs it wouldn't be much of an issue, you rarely see guys who actually know MMA like Herb Dean missing taps because they know how submissions work and put themselves in appropriate positions to see it. Unfortunately athletic commissions are just as corrupt and nepotistic as any government endeavor that doesn't really answer to anyone.

Popularity with spectators doesn't necessarily mean it's the same as the ridiculously massive high school/college sports scenes over here which vacuum up a big percentage of tall people with any drive to compete athletically. K8.0 fucked around with this message at 08:08 on Feb 12, 2011 |

I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time we've heard accusations of Duke Roufus being a massive scumbag.
