        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.

            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

                    So you're not really into combat sports. They are much more strategic than guys just hitting each other.

                      really hope we see Anthony Johnson back in the ufc , he has been looking great in wsof but there isnt really any more match ups that are competitive ….. with the exception of Tyrone Spong but i cant see that happening

                      cant wait to see Spong fight again , his last fight against Nathan Corbett in glory was great

                                That is basically the same cut that Johnny Hendricks makes for every fight. Said he wants to retire at 185 tho (prob getting tough to cut that 50lbs as u get older lol)

                                    super bummed out that dominick cruz had to pull out of his fight this weekend
                                    cruz vs renan barao was one of my mostly highly anticipated match ups of the year
                                    jose aldo vs richardo lamas should be a good fight as well

                                        but he's sooo fun to watch and him and barao would have been an amazing fight
                                        none stop

                                          I'm not a fan or him or Machida, that style just doesn't sit with me. It looks like strategy to some but to me it's just avoiding

                                          Having said that, Barao would have whooped his ass and will do the same this Saturday

                                            Idk bags. Im not a huge Cruz fan either but the man does have skills and its not like he runs away from the fight for 15-25mins. He still throws. Just very evasive in his stand up. I think Cruz/Barrao would have been good for sure. Better then watching Uriah get the shit kicked out of his lead leg anyway
