CarlCX posted:The only weakness Joanna's shown is a tendency to deviate from her gameplan and lose focus when people put her under heavy pressure in the pocket--it's where KK hurt her, where Gadelha got her down and controlled her, and while Andrade barely accomplished anything, the few good punches she had came from Joanna losing her distance control, getting brawly and getting clipped. Rose is good at unrelenting pressure and forcing a fight into the clinch, so if she has a path to victory I'd say that's it--trying to cut Joanna's movement off, get in the pocket and either brawl with her or try to drag her to the ground. andrade hit her approx 5-10 times and joannas face looked like a bunch of aliens were going to hatch and burst out of it. technique can be learned

it makes no difference to me what goes on in peoples real lives here .. everyone has their struggles, right? .. but if youre going to inflict yourself on a public forum, it seems unreasonable to QQ if you dont get the type of reaction you were hoping for

cis autodrag posted:if one of the expert wrestlers wants to correct me, please do, but basically it's ben askren's style of wrestling. his game is a lot more oriented around inducing scrambles and keeping the match constantly off balance and he calls his style funk wrestling. the funk is just sort of the overall philosophy about how he approaches a match. "every punch starts from the heart, and thats in rhythm or youre in trouble" - sugar ray "killed a guy ftw" robinson. if only he knew that heart arrythmia is a common condition among athletes. but dont let that spoil the catchy quote

DeimosRising posted:Didn't old bare knuckle fights feature a lot more body shots and a lot fewer punches to the head? possibly in some cases. especially if the fighters had regular labour jobs they used their hands for ... but if a fighter can win a bunch of money by knocking someone out with 1 punch then a fighter who can knock people out will headhunt. a broken knuckle generally wont cause you too many problems in the long run

i dont see how dropping the gloves is gonna make a headkick feel any less like being cracked across the skull with a baseball bat. or being dropped on the canvas head first etc. headgear would seem like a better idea. but i think the best solution to concussions in contact sports is to improve the post competition medical care as well as the research and technology involved as much as possible. or to outlaw contact sports but 6000+ years of cultural significance and provenance will make things difficult in that case

Novum posted:Last I checked there was also a lot of talk about how headgear in combat sports might actually make poo poo worse somehow this is just my guess but i bet itd be becos thered be less knockouts, but still a lot of impacts to the head. and the stuff they use in amateur combat sports, that leather BS, its bad protection.

Id rather have some broken bones than a concussion personally .. even putting aside the long term damage a concussion can cause, you can be back to doing cardio in a week with say a broken collar but a concussion is like 2 months off

kimbo305 posted:Broken bones in your face is probably a concussion. maybe but not necessarily. if a bone breaks then its absorbing some or a lot of the shock that would otherwise rattle your brain, its the same principle as bike helmets which are designed to take an impact and then be replaced. if someone is pummeling your face and a bone breaks as a result of constant stress then its probably a concussion but 1 hard shot that breaks like your orbital or something it might save you from the brunt of a brain impact I.N.R.I fucked around with this message at 17:29 on May 21, 2017 |

Eat This Glob posted:I think that she twweted that cyborg looks like the tricycle riding puppet from the "SAW" series of films. probably these kinds of things get smoothed over in different ways when businesses are involved, it doesnt really benefit anyone to have court cases and arrests hanging over them. or maybe u have a scenario like a "straightener" where you both agree to a street fight to settle differences, this kind of thing is a legal grey area in a lot of places. but this case is just assault cos cyborg got care mad at being trolled online

It would be really cool if the internet wasn't quite as anonymous so everyone could get beat up for their bad opinions that they wouldn't dare voice out loud IRL.

theyre at an impasse then .. i think they should both go to a fairground and compete in all the different stuff like shooting nailed down prizes with a cork gun, fishing stuff out of a barreo etc. dodgems + ring toss

dc will beat him rather badly if the osp fight is anything to go by. maybe he just got out of the wrong side of the bed for it but i personally doubt it

Bluedeanie posted:I've seen his a lot, but drug testing issues aside, what was quantifiably different in your eyes from the OSP performance than the Rashad Evans performance? i didnt see his fight against rashad, but although osp didnt run him close he looked slow and frankly a little uncoordinated in some parts of the fight, maybe it was ring rust after a layoff, but if someone like tkz can come back looking strong then a natural talent like jones seems like he should come back looking better still. plus cormier has been doing really well recently

and to be honest i dont think ring rust is such a huge issue in mma, at least not layoffs of a year or so. since fighters only compete twice a year or so anyway. tkz had 2+ years off and had some rust but was still world class. cruz should have been rustier than anyone but still looked as good as ever after his layoff. woodley had time off before winning the title. and khabib. these are all top 10 fighters and champions as well and its not boxing so its not like they had the luxury of choosing a fight. but everyone handles situations differently i suppose. but even if it is ring rust then that just means he will probably be rusty against cormier too since the osp fight was over a year ago
