CellBlock posted:How dangerous does something have to be to be in the "freakshow" category? Can a combat sport just be weird/dumb? Freakshows don't have to be dangerous, I don't think. What makes something a freakshow is when the pure spectacle and novelty are way more important than athletic competition. You could say that all of MMA before a certain point was the Freakshow Era. There was a big emphasis on style vs. style and the idea that the rules were trying to simulate who "would have won" in a "real fight," whatever that means. I started by going through rules changes one by one, but that's just a timeline. Introducing the Unified Rules at UFC 28 in 2000 is a big landmark, but I think the essential elements that made MMA a real competitive sport were in place before that. By the end of 1999 you've got weight classes, rounds, a judging and scoring system, a referee who has authority over the in-ring action, and rules on acceptable striking zones and banned techniques. And the UFC has seen its last tournament where fighters have more than one match in a single night. They kept listing fighters' "discipline" until UFC 38, but it had been vestigial for a long while. The sumo wrestlers, ninjas, and pit fighters were pretty much gone by '99.

If I remember my Stranglemania correctly, the technical term for these fighters is "big fat slops of gently caress."

SalTheBard posted:For Fight Circus, there have been 6 of them. Would you like show by show reviews (broken up into individual posts) or would you all be more interested in a "General Overview of Fight Circus" I think I’m your target audience, I want to know what I’m looking at and what would be a good sample of what a FC event is like. All I think I know is that it’s some kind of zany matchups that are akin to the grandfather & grandson vs rando trashweight Russian MMA fight we’d occasionally see in the main MMA thread. But like better showmanship? Is that even close?

Total combined weight at the official weigh in was 795.9 pounds and 85 years combined age. Needless to say, these guys ain't got much cardio. And yes, they had to stop mid-round in round 1 to tape Boogie's trunks on.

The streetbeefs drama was similar to the slap drama in that it originally came from streetbeefs stuff getting posted in the UFC thread, which grossed some folks out because streetbeefs is, y'know, streetbeefs, and that's what led to the launching of the specific streetbeefs thread. It got real popular for awhile, and then, in fairly rapid fire,
Which, in hindsight, how else could the streetbeefs thread have possibly ended but that. It was perfect. Streetbeefs itself has continued on, as far as I know. I personally feel like streetbeefs discussion fits into this thread, but I Am Not A Mod.

Just to add on the firechicken saga - he was a street beefs fighter who somehow found out about the thread and joined SA because he thought he'd be a big poo poo with fans here and then got mad when people called out his bad plan.

The Saudi stuff came out when wwe started running SA. Mel got weirdly defensive about it(it didn’t help some posters were gettin kinda racist) and then eventually admitted he was linked to Vision 2030.

Fire chicken also had this mentality of “I asked some cops in the park and they were cool with in” when questioned on if he needed anything to be legally promoting the fights too. It came off as this guy was in totally over his head but didn’t realize just how badly.
