This is most obvious when you see people turning around and showing the back of their head to their opponent, who doesn't take that opportunity to inflict massive injury on them (hits to the back of the head are not allowed). That sounds like a sex date to me!

That doesn't mean it's not a terrible assumption and it's not necessarily better if you have other information you can consider that can outweigh that one point you're obsessed with. tl;dr: Hurr Douglas beat Tyson therefore Douglas better than Tyson hurr hurrr

the only reason downward elbow strikes are illegal in mma is that an old lady from the nevada athletic commission saw a video of a mcdojo guy breaking cinder blocks with his elbow and she actually thought that was real so when the rules were written up she specifically requested that "downward elbows are banned" be put in there

In the meeting, doctors raised concerns about 12-6 elbows after seeing an IFC match where 12-6 elbows were used to the back of a fighter's head. One doctor argued that they could be life-threatening, and refused to sanction any set of rules that didn't prohibit them.[3]

Moridin920 posted:I'm not saying takedowns aren't effective, I'm just saying the rules of the sport make it such that takedowns and the ground game are the better strategy most of the time even though irl they might not be so that's why people often have the complaint of 'this is just hugging and takedowns.' I didn't think I'd be reading a passionate defense of anti-grappling by someone who actually believes in it in 2016, but here we are. Life sure is full of surprises sometimes!

Moridin920 posted:I'm not really sure what Ninja VS MMA fighter is supposed to prove when a 'real' ninja or whatever would probably immediately try to gouge your eyes out. This is probably a dumb idea but I'm actually going to respond to you in good faith: you're missing the point of those videos entirely. It doesn't matter how many super deadly mortal kombat fatality techniques you know if you can't land them on someone who is not only trying to avoid them but is also trying to hurt you right back. And it's pretty hard to get good at something you can't practice under those conditions without injuring your training partner. So in all of those "ninja vs. an actual athlete who intends to gently caress up his poo poo" videos the ninja dudes always get their faces pounded in because their training regiment of cosplay, larping and reading revisionist history doesn't magically give them the power to ploink someones eyes out like they're in a three stooges movie, and surprise surprise it doesn't magically give them any conventional wrestling/punching skills to fall back on when their secret techniques fail them either.

I'm not saying they aren't. I'm saying MMA dudes are idiots for putting a "ninja" in a ring with an MMA fighter and going 'see MMA fighters are better than anyone else' because in reality MMA is a sport that has little to do with actual fighting for life or death and a lot of the things that the sport will let you get away with in a ring can result in getting injured badly against someone who really wants to hurt you and doesn't care about fighting rules. e: hence why I said real 'ninja' in the quotes Moridin920 fucked around with this message at 22:07 on Aug 30, 2016 |

like bro when they're grappling on the ground trying to get advantage and their hand is 2 inches away from the person's nut sack? in a "real" fight they'd grab that poo poo and squeeze/tear as hard as possible and now gl grappling them anymore lol i really dunno why you guys have to make what I say into something else. I'm not defending "ninjas" at any point here.
