trt is dumb
vitor has been on a roll thou
to say hall hasnt impressed since the show after last night is kinda silly
every win cant be a high light reel knock out
finishing leben like that is always impressive
that dude was hurt bad, for him to say its over is gnarlyand i never said new blood is a bad thing
i said they lost 2 of there biggest ppv stars
gsp and andersone silva are huge draws
if you ever go out to watch the fights you'll notice a card headlined by lets say dominic cruz the bar will not be half as full as a gsp or anderson silva fight
even a benson henderson or jose aldo dont have the draw of gsp and silva (yes i know benson isnt a champ anymore but petitis has yet to defend and he wont have a huge draw either)
finacially that was a big deal for the ufcronda and tate was a great scrap
they have more womens fights like that and their side of the sport will grow fastand travis browne is a BEAST!!!

I cant stand "casual" fans. Only wanna show up when "GSP is fighting??? Can i come over and watch too?" I know that the UFC makes money off them as well but they are always sooooo opiniated about one fighter that they barely know. Annoying lol
Sry that was kinda rantyBrowne looked awesome once again, guy is a beast. Uriah has a ton of talent and i feel confident that the more relaxed he gets in the octagon the better he will show. Tate fought well but Rousey is an animal man. Bitch hates losing and fights like that. Not a fan of her sportswomanship tho

That break was tough to watch. It looked like it was going to be a good fight too.
I know it. I suffered a similar tib/fib fracture playing ice hockey as a teenager. Took me 5 surgeries over a 5 year period to mostly recover. I felt sick to my stomach the second it happened.
-
Yep, I had two different sets rods and screws. I managed to break the first titanium rod inside my tibia which caused another stress fracture. They installed a second titanium rod and screws. The original fracture healed but the stress fracture refused to heal. I ended up with a halo on my lower leg which I wore for 5 months. They also had to do a bone graft from my hip when I had the halo put on. My final surgery was having a plate and 8 screws installed which I still have to this day. Overall, it was not a fun experience at all…

that sucks
heres the details on silva so far

i may upset a few people but two men punching and kicking the hell out of each other in a cage for sport i just dont get cant understand why anyone would want to watch such nonsense
-
To each their own, but it is pretty strategic. You can't be a master of all skills so it's an interesting mix of endurance, speed and strength.
I think they do a pretty good job of stopping fights before serious injury is inflicted.
I prefer to watch the striking as I enjoy Muay Thai (kick boxing) as a hobby, but I can respect and enjoy the tactics of the ground game of submissions.
-
i agree each to there own every one can watch and enjoy whatever they like its just not for me im afraid

yeah i'm with summerhays on this one
i love stand up fighting, coming from a muay thai back ground. so interesting. however my ocd gets a bit much when someone isnt using proper technique
however when you have two AGRESSIVE high level bjj guys attacking submissions and rolling and sweeping, thats amazing too. just dont get to see enough of it. like when frank mir and big nog hit the ground, the transitions, sweeps and escapes that happend in that brief 30 seconds or so before big nogs arm snapped was amazing
maybe having some background in these areas makes it more interesting then just "two men punching and kicking the hell out of each other in a cage for sport"
but on that note harley dave you seem like a nice enough dude and that post is kinda offensive and silly to make in a thread about mixed martial arts. we understand youre not interested in it. but that doesnt make it cool to make a post bashing a sport that those few of us that post in here are passionate about
and im not trying to attack you with this post just stating the obvious -
it wasnt meant to be offensive ,i thought the post was did you or did not like it ,as i said i dont mind what any one watches its a personell choice .
im not attacking it just saying i dont get . -
no not really ,i do like cricket which if you dont like or understand is about as interesting as watching paint dry .
