She was always a bad fighter. When money and talent started to come to women's mma that got proven real quick.

Fire Barrel posted:Yeah. Even some historical manuals tell you that the best way to win a fight is to avoid it! Especially if groups get involved. And these were written when people being armed with at least knives or daggers was assumed. Being tough or a good fighter won't make you any less easy to kill with a knife or something. Street fights are really, really stupid and should def. be avoided altogether. I've read about several people in my city alone over the last few years that have been killed by a single punch. They get knocked unconscious and then fall headfirst onto the pavement and are dead. And the guy who threw the punch, thinking he was going to show how tough and manly he was by knocking some dude out just like in the UFC, is now a murderer.

Neurolimal posted:Mma used to be like this then dweebs started treating it like a real sport and now everyone does limp kicks and grapples and haymakers The big name fighters who get a cut of the PPV money (or gate maybe?) have to basically promote the fight themselves. So they have all kinds of idiotic fake drama, poo poo-talking and "bad blood". Then of course after the fight they are best buds. Or if your name is Ronda Rousey, you take the promotional fake poo poo-talk from the opponent extremely personally and act like a piece of poo poo after the fight, refusing to even shake the opponent's hand.

WAR DOGS OF SOCHI posted:I've watched a few MMA fights in my day, but I know jack poo poo about actual fighting and techniques. And I'll be honest, a leaf falling from a tree onto my head almost gives me a concussion, so a question... From what ive seen, most fighters are throwing glancing elbows to slash the other person open, not to knock them out. The exception is downward elbows to the side of the head when clinching I guess.

doctor 7 posted:Fake edit: I tried looking this up but couldn't find it. Maybe it's not Tank Abbott but gently caress I swear I remember some Jet Li guy going against just some bar brawler and getting utterly ruined in the octagon. I'm sure there have been fights like that. Though in the earliest days with no rules or weight classes, you would see a tiny jiu-jitsu guy in his gi owning everyone. I've watched MMA on and off for a long time, and it seems like pretty much every fighting style has had its time as the "best" type of fighting or the best base for MMA-- Jiu-jitsu, wrestling, boxing (sorta), judo, karate, muay thai, catch wrestling, etc. Though now it seems like everyone trains everything (just general MMA) and we don't see that many X vs. Y fighting style matches. I always thought that was part of the fun TBH. Also come to think of it, kung fu never had its time as a top style that I can remember. Maybe just not a lot of traditional Chinese fighters ever made it to Pride or UFC. I always wanted to see that though.

proof of concept posted:Listen for it when Holmes is hugging her corner men over the side of the cage Hahah "NOOOO!!!!!" Ronda's fall and ragequit was so awesome because of how much she bought into her own hype. And because she is a piece of poo poo and terrible sport. Before the Holy Holm fight, there were a LOT of MMA talking heads (lead by Joe Rogan her #1 fan) who had hyped Ronda as the greatest fighter, man or woman to ever walk the Earth. And that there could never be anyone even close to her skill level. Meanwhile, any sane person knew she was fighting in a laughably shallow division with women who could not even afford to fight full-time, couldn't afford the best coaches, trainers, full camps before fights, etc. As soon as that changed and money started coming into women's MMA, you had elite fighters and athletes come with it and Ronda got exposed in the most hilarious way. The meltdown from her fanboys was so amazing to witness.
