All I want to see in MMA is submissions. Just constant, awesome submissions.

Who should I look out for with that?

I casually watch UFC so I know a few fighters, but feel like asking anyway, who are some really good fighters in UFC and MMA in general?
Dominick Cruz has one of the weirdest styles he moves more than anybody else here is a Highlight of him. Strangely it features no Nu Metal music. I don't know what's up with that.

in UFC 1 it was literally no rules, no time limit and it made for very...very boring fighting.

That was mainly due to lovely fighters.

IIRC Tank Abbot knocked out a guy and openly mocked him while he seized the gently caress up from being actually punched in the face.

By todays standards Tank is a really lovely fighter though.

During a WCW wrestling pay per view he (unplanned) pulled a knife on a guy and nearly stabbed him in the throat with it as well.

Was it unplanned or was it "unplanned"? Cause pulling a knife on a dude is kind of illegal...

He asked the booker if he could pull a weapon at the end of his match. Assuming that Tank meant a chair the booker agreed.

How are such details known? Are they from background sources or speculation or what? Was Tank at least fired directly after the incident?

Some dudes (CB Dollaway iirc) fake-tap somewhere where the ref doesn't see it but the other fighter feels it, so if the one doing the submitting then lets go they keep fighting.

10-8 rounds are just as likely to produce a draw as 10-10 rounds.
If you got two fighters and one dominates the other in a round and gets a 10-8 then it's improbable that the other gets(or previewsly got) the two others 9-10. On the other hand 10-10 is an indication that the fighters are somewhat evenly matched and a 10-9 and a 9-10 round are plausible.

It was a dumb argument and 10-8s can also happen in the last round.

It is less probable for me to dominate a dude 10-8 after just having been outworked with two 9-10.

Submissions 101 videos on youtube are based out of 10th planet, right? They're almost always in gis and they frequently demonstrate gi only moves. Eddie Bravo's class is what's no-gi at 10th planet.

Just what i've deduced.

I think the sub101 dude just paid bravo a load of cash for the endorsment and doesnt actually have that much to do with tenth planet.

Well not just the number of wins/losses, but obviously also who your opponents were, the profile of the fights, if you were dominated for 3 rounds or lost a controversial split decision, the potential the company sees in you, your marketability, especially if you are from a market the company wants to tap, your actions outside the ring, if you put asses in seats, the color of your hair, if dana likes your attitude, if you want to be a loving fighter, if you have a grudge match they can sell,

mobn posted:

Defensive wrestling is a something that would be very useful in tight or enclosed spaces where you can't escape, but on the street and outdoors you should be far away before the guy has an opportunity to try to tackle you.

Yes that is good street fighting advice, you should be far away from where fighting is happening.

I have a dumb fight terminology question-- I see the term "arm punch" used a little bit. It seems to be a disparaging term.

I am guessing it is like the difference between throwing a ball with just your arm or throwing with proper rotation of shoulders, hips and shifting weight and so forth. Is that about right?

Yeah
