I think a good thing would be to encourage 10-10 scoring, but to help allay the possibility of more draws (which is doubtlessly why the commission discourages 10-10 scores) they could add one or two extension rounds in the case of a draw.

That's actually something I hadn't considered. If the rules called for monitors for judges, it would gently caress over small-time shows who can't afford such equipment, unless the commission also agreed to be the provider of such equipment for smaller shows.

kimbo305 posted:No rules should require monitors. It should be sufficient that there are supplemental rules for how to provide them. The thing is, you want consistency in judging across all matches, and if some promotions provide monitors and others don't, there can be an argument that it has an unfair impact on a fighter's record if he loses a decision on a show that does not provide monitors. I'm not saying that's a good argument, but it's probably one of the many threads of thought going through Kizer's mind.

fatherdog posted:1) "consensus #1" is a commonly used phrase in combat sports http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/consensual shockingly, words have multiple meanings. "consensual: chosen by the mutual consent of all involved". In this scenario, a person being declared the number 1 fighter by the consent of all people in the discussion, making him the the consensual #1 fighter. I'm aware that people use consensus all the time in combat sports, but the guy wasn't incorrect in his usage of the word consensual, and that's all I was pointing out.

fatherdog posted:"mutual consent of all involved" is not the same as "consensus", which means "general agreement" of a group. In this case the distinction is meaningful because "mutual consent of all involved" would be unanimous agreement, whereas "consensus" just means general agreement. Which means that there can be a consensus #1 heavyweight when there isn't a consensual #1 heavyweight. Yes, because it is an uncommon usage, it does not exist. Consensus in the fashion used in combat sports is a shorthand. It says "most people agree", but this a hyperbolic use of the term, much as when a headline says "everyone loves gaga". Of course not everyone loves lady gaga, but the phrase gives the sense of how widespread her popularity is. I'm sorry that you dont't understand hyperbole or the distinction between proper and common usage. It must be a jersey thing.

The best martial art is to run the gently caress away and don't stop running until you go through a door that can lock behind you. The second best martial art, used only in situations where you can't immediately book it, is to hit them in their nuts and run the gently caress away and don't stop running until you go through a door that can lock behind you.

niethan posted:You misspelled wrestling Wrestling only works against pretend fighting like BJJ. It has no use against real fighting like knives and broken beer bottles. There are only three true martial arts techniques: 1) Create distance, followed by either 2) Find a cop or 3) Find a bunch of your friends.

niethan posted:Actually defensive wrestling is probably a really good skill to have "on the streets" You're right, gun is a real martial art, but studies show that most people carrying guns are unable to actually use them during the pressure of a dangerous situation because they're either too scared to draw or too jittery to aim and fire correctly. In basically any situation where the other guy doesn't have a gun I think it's best to just get the hell away and run toward the biggest crowd of people you can find. There's no point in getting into a violent altercation because anything can happen and even if you have a gun, that doesn't guarantee that something doesn't go wrong and you end up hurt. Defensive wrestling is a something that would be very useful in tight or enclosed spaces where you can't escape, but on the street and outdoors you should be far away before the guy has an opportunity to try to tackle you.

I just find the idea of a martial art centered around running away amusing. I'm not seriously suggesting that running away is all you ever need to defend yourself. I just wonder what a mall karate guy would call his running martial arts gym to make it sound historical. Maybe Par Krwan Do?

Xguard86 posted:I've never understood how people will withstand headkicks that are like car crashes and yet they are suppose to magically fall down and die to a bite. I guess the infection may kill them a week later, but taking a piece out of someone's arm is not going to do anything. I think people think that sharp pains like bites and gouges are somehow going to be more painful than blunt force pain. The truth is that they don't hurt more, they just hurt differently, and neither is really going to stop someone who is really cracked out on adrenaline.

I haven't seen a lot of brawls where dudes ballpunch and bite anyway. They usually go to slamming heads against poo poo and stomping you on concrete with their friends. Barfights dudes seem to have some weird honor code where they forget they can cheat so it ends with awkward drunken grappling and armpunching.

Meat Recital posted:Question for you guys. In MMA, how is it that some guys can have such good jiu-jitsu while having such terrible wrestling? The Diazes are the obvious example here, but there are others. Discounting submissions and takedowns, BJJ and wrestling have the same basic goal, which is controlling dudes on the ground, yet there are a lot of highly regarded BJJ guys in MMA who are terrible at that aspect. Are they just overrated or is there some distinguishing characteristic between BJJ and wrestling for MMA? Lots of BJJ guys come from countries where wrestling is not a widely competed sport, and as a result do not spend years developing these skills from the time they can walk. BJJ practitioners also have to drill lots of different positions which means they can't devote as much of their time to practicing starting from the feet, as they also need to do sessions where they start from all sorts of different positions to be able to attack and defend from them. There's also the factor that almost anyone's wrestling is going to look bad next to American wrestlers who have been doing just wrestling from the beginning of junior high school, even if in a non-UFC context their wrestling would be considered passable.

Julio Cesar Fatass posted:We've had discussions about why 12-6 elbows and four-point attacks are banned in the Unified Rules, but I'm curious as to why shoes are banned. Mark Coleman's been quoted as saying that wrestling shoes gave him a lot more power when grappling, but I don't know if the ban was as straightforward as that would suggest. The thought is that the laces and other seams on the shoes have the potential to cause cuts when kicking, and would also make kicks more damaging.

red19fire posted:Crossposting from the UFC Dec thread, but are low-tier fighters exclusively contracted to the UFC? 6,000 to show doesn't seem like a lot, even before management's cut and taxes and such; since they have to go 3+ months between fights, I'm wondering how they fill in the gaps between fights as far as making money. I know a lot of guys teach martial arts on the side and there's sponsors, but can low-level UFC fighters fight in other promotions? Hopefully if a fighter has decent management they are also making money from sponsorships, and many professional fighters also teach between camps.
