OT: Bruce Buffer is the man

[intlzncster]

FWIW, I liked it more in it's early days when MMA fighting was more like the movie Bloodsport with people using dramatically different styles to fight each other. Now there is a more generalized MMA style people adopt. It's been interesting to see the sport's evolution.

If they had something like Bloodsport, I'd watch every second. I'll admit it.

MMA is gets the bottom of the barrel people. That's a general statement. They don't do background checks, they don't care if you have criminal history including assaults, beating women etc. They know the people they get to fight in the cage have issues for the most part and aggression problems. People who hang out on the streets fighting for fun see MMA as an opportunity to do what they do but get paid.

Go look at the stats compared to every other pro sport. They are 3 times higher for arrests and assault beating women etc. It the stats would be higher if the women weren't afraid of being beat out choked out so they don't remember what happened.

A fair share of these so called athletes are street fighting punks cashing in on what they've done their whole life

So you mean to tell me a bunch of jacked dudes with tattoos who are obsessed with working out, steroids and fighting people have higher arrest rates for assault and domestic violence than normal people?

wasn't corriera undefeated going into the fight? it looked like they grabbed a random lady from the crowd and had her fight rousey . any reason why rousey didnt compete for a gold in judo during 2012?

Basically like the mayweather fight. Someone who waiting until his opponent was injured and out of his prime and then danced around the ring and hugged his opponent.

Comparing that fight to the chick scrum the other night is nonsensical.

Comparing [the maywether/pacman] fight to the chick scrum the other night is nonsensical.

No doubt that what you wrote is the unvarnished truth, but, in fairness to the chicks who scrummed, and in reference to the Pac/MW fight, given that one guy was fighting a dodging, defensive style the whole way, taking no risks whatsoever, and one guy was fighting with one arm, I'd say comparing the maywether/pacman fight to an actual fight would also be nonsensical.

Rousey should stick with winning by armbar. Low risk and deadly effective. She let emotion get to her and took a big counter shot that reddened her face. No need for that.

The while thing strikes me as kind if stupid, I'm surprised people actually pay a premium to watch it.

The only thing dumber will be paying to see Mayweather fight Andre Berto.
