Snowman_McK posted:Does that include Condit? Or was it just because Condit's takedown defence is Diaz-esque? He took Condit down a lot but so does everybody else. IIRC that fight was actually fairly close in the stand up but Rory was winning because of the takedowns, the problem with Condit being he's really good at getting back up but that just means he gets taken down a million times. I really think that fight can be chalked up to experience, I think Rory had never had a guy who could take everything he gave him and just keep coming, and he broke eventually.

I don't understand how he could be so good at everything else, but so terrible at that. Like I know he's not a wrestler, but come on man.

No I know, it's just such a stark contrast to see a guy be so good at everything and then when someone shoots on him it's like he didn't know you were allowed to do that. Like when he started defending takedowns against Kampmann I was literally shocked.

Tezcatlipoca posted:Rory was not winning because of takedowns. He would take Condit down and get punched in the face the entire time he was on top. By the third he was gassed and beat up and Condit whipped that rear end. If this was actually how fights were scored Condit probably would have beat Hendricks too.

Remember when Roger Huerta looked at the big screen to land elbows on a guy on his back and then disappeared from the planet until just now?

Tezcatlipoca posted:They are stupid because the guy on the bottom did nothing to deserve it. Why is it okay to punish one guy for being boring when neither of them are doing poo poo? It's on the guy on top to do something. If you want to keep your dominant position you need to do something with it, not just stall. Also you realize a guy just sitting there and not opening up makes it extremely difficult to sweep them? Dangersim fucked around with this message at 20:12 on Oct 4, 2014 |

THE BUTT MAN posted:i mean that arguing that the guy on top can just lay on his opponent because "he might be swept" is not conducive to the goal of an MMA fight, two guys fighting each other to see who is a better fighter I'm pretty sure I agree with you? I was saying that's why putting the onus on the bottom guy is dumb, if the top guy wants to just sit there he can and there's really nothing you can do to stop him without standups.

fatherdog posted:In a BJJ match, you'd get 2 points for a takedown. If you didn't sweep afterwards, you'd lose. I understand that, I'm talking about the concept that if a guy just buries his head in your chest and does nothing it is very difficult to do anything.

EvanSchenck posted:It looked like he was at an angle where Holloway was blocking his view of Akira so he couldn't see that he was out cold. Which is still his fault since knowing where to stand so you can see what is happening is a big part of reffing MMA. He was, but he just strolled over without any urgency after Akira dropped like a stone and the watched him take about 3 punches while he was clearly out.
