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... When a dude throws an elbow into some guy's face or is doing the ol' elbow-strike-to-the-head-over-and-over move, how are they avoiding shattering their own elbows or hitting their funny bones?

Thanks for the elbow answers. I've watched UFC off and on from the very beginning. When it first arrived, it was a total novelty thing and more of a "who would win between a boxer and a sumo wrestler" type setup. Matches weren't one-and-done; they were multi-round elimination matches and several people just forfeited because even though they won, they had exhausted/mauled themselves and couldn't physically go on to the next round. My favorite WTF moment from this era was the one clear-thinking boxer who came into the ring wearing a boxing glove -- as in a single glove on one hand! Needless to say, he was annihilated in short order. Good times.

Did she do that MMA pre-fight thing where she called out her opponent beforehand as a drooling mongoloid retard noob? Is that what's going on here? Maybe that's it. It wasn't the loss so much as the fact that she shoveled a mountainload of poo poo-talk and then proceeded to get owned. I know I get red faced when I make fun of someone's hat in TF2 and then get ganked by them -- it stings a little.

I just rewatched the Rousey loss and wow, she looked terrible through it all. She tries to grapple three times: twice Holly ends up shoving her away; the third, Holly throws her down. The rest of the match is spent stucking her face out so Holly can punch the gently caress out of it. Great match because you can see Rhonda going from little miss badass to having a meltdown in 7 minutes. First she's angry, then she's frustrated, then she's almost crying, and then she's unconscious.

It's really cool seeing how women's MMA has progressed so quickly. I remember most fights being kinda sloppy just a few years ago. I forget their names, but I also rewatched the straw-weight championship match on the same card as the last Rousey fight... drat... I couldn't believe the kicks and combos they were stringing together. It was beautiful to watch. I mean, I can't fight my way out of a paper bag, but their technique looked pretty awesome to me.

Serious question: has that guy suffered any brain damage from that injury? I mean, he's got to be a bit hosed up permanently from that, right?

I have the whole card on dvd The most amazing this about this is finding out that Steve Irwin rated a bodyguard.
