Fozzy The Bear posted:For those who don't want to watch the video: Yeah, the discrepancy between the video and how it’s being described is weird. He definitely slaps her twice and then pushes her in the face. At that point it gets very hard to see what’s going on, but it looks like she falls back and it almost looks like he throws one or two full-on punches before they’re broken up.

kimbo305 posted:https://twitter.com/MichaelDavSmith/status/1610087087298039808 Tbh men being able to hit women who hit them first has become an opinion on Reddit that’s basically universally popular, and Redditors will pile on with comments supporting the man in any situation like that. It’s not just a UFC fan thing.

Aye Doc posted:Dana white will not disappear at all because nobody in the ufc will care about this This is correct. I personally will continue to watch dodgy streams of men beating the crap out of eachother.

In only the most tangentially related news, former mma fighter Dillon Danis had backed out of his fight with KSI, apparently because he couldn’t make weight and hadn’t prepared. That may just be the last we hear of him tbh.

Would be very cool if Jones or Ngannou or Stipe actually fight again.

Dana said some stuff: https://sports.yahoo.com/dana-white-francis-ngannou-rejected-143034354.htmlDana White posted:[Ngannou] feels he’s in a good position where he can fight lesser opponents and make more money. So we’re going to let him do that. Now I’m no expert but I think that there may be a serious flaw in the UFC’s business plan when that’s an option for the heavyweight champion.

Radical 90s Wizard posted:Seems like palm(heel) striking them in the side of the jaw is exactly what they're doing. It's only a "slap" in that it's open handed as far as I can see. I haven’t actually watched Dana’s CTE League, but that is generally what these slap leagues are. It’s basically just seeing how hard two people can hit eachother without closing their fist or bending their elbow. The answer is “very.”

kimbo305 posted:I’m being serious here when I say that maybe you should take a hard look at being an MMA fan. The number of people involved in it and other combat sports far outweighs slap fighting, as do the number of fencing response highlight pictures from fights. You shouldn’t confuse the virtue signaling itt for genuine feelings people will act on.

CarlCX posted:Also, I think the concept of critiquing "virtue signaling" is already inherently silly but it feels real, real weird to accuse people of it re: being grossed out by slap fighting, which is objectively gross. I think you’re confusing complaining about virtue signaling with actually thinking something is okay. This thread has a bad habit off going through cycles where everyone has to announce that mma, the sport we all watch and are here to discuss, is evil, which is basically the definition of virus signaling. Now we’re going on for several pages about how slap fighting is bad and dumb (it is), and it’s getting tiresome.

CarlCX posted:Words about championship competition. In addition to the matchmaking being terrible and the endless rematches wrecking the divisions, I think we’re also at the point where fighter pay is really affecting the UFC’s product. Aside from the guys we know we’re sitting out due to money issues, it generally seems like big name fighters aren’t in any rush to fight. But I guess Dana is fine with squeezing the sport for all it’s worth before it crashes and he retires to beat his wife out of the public eye.
