fatherdog posted:At one point Brian Cimins tried to get his brand of antibacterial rashguards approved for fight apparel; the NSAC told him that they barred any upper-body apparel because it could be abrasive and therefore used to worsen cuts. I guess that makes a certain amount of sense. But what about women's MMA? They're allowed to wear full rashguards aren't they? I don't TRAIN (I'm sure you could tell) so I don't really know what kinds of rashguards are out there. Do you think the NSAC has a point, or would it be relatively easy to designate a "regulation" rashguard that would not be abrasive enough to help open a cut? I guess any fabric is going to wipe vaseline out of a cut better than sweaty skin, I'll give them that.

Thermos H Christ posted:It's not specific enough? Most "shirts" are not something you'd want to wear in grappling competition because it would get pulled over your face and/or used to choke you. I gather that rashguards are specifically designed to minimize this. Lots of people wear t-shirts in no-gi grappling competitions. It's explicitly against the rules to grab them or use them to do a choke or whatever. It's a bit of a personal preference thing I think -- a t-shirt provides a bit more friction than a rash guard, which can be bad if you're trying to pull out of an armbar or something, but useful if you're on someone's back since it'll give you a bit of extra traction.

Mark Coleman is awesome for many reasons, that story isn't one of them. There was a fight, sometime back, around the UFC 80s, maybe 90s, maybe even early 100s, where an orthodox stance against a southpaw was on the receiving end of dozens of inside leg kicks. The stances perfectly lined up for the southpaw. By the end, the inside of his leg was blacker than coal and he could barely walk. Anyone remember it?

Are you certain it was in the UFC? Because that sounds almost like Faber vs Aldo. Faber got his leg lit up so bad that one of his cornermen (THONGLOR) had to carry him to the chair in between rounds

It was definitely UFC, since I've watched almost nothing from any other promotion (Which I'm realising is very silly of me thanks to this board)

Are you talking about Lytle/Alves? I dunno about anybody's leg turning black or whatever, but that was just a leg kick war for the most part until Lytle got stopped on cuts.

Well, Aldo vs Faber was a PPV that was basically marketed as a UFC fight. Perhaps it was a Pat Barry fight?

Haraksha posted:Well, Aldo vs Faber was a PPV that was basically marketed as a UFC fight. They looked pretty small (like, wiry) and Barry's roughly the size of a tank. I think it was a welterweight fight, maybe tall middleweights. The guy getting leg kicked had really short hair, like an almost shaved head. I'm sorry I'm so vague, but it would have been a year since I saw the fight.

1st AD posted:I roll in the same trunks and rash guard I use for surfing my old bjj instructor went to brazil and said they would hang out on the beach, walk over to the gym and jump on the mat to train. Some of them didn't even stop to wipe down their feet, They laughed at him for trying to shower. His theory for why everyone didn't die of staph was that you hang out outside so much, all the UV kills the bacteria. Also, superior genetics: Arona.jpeg

Yeah coming out in professional sports is generally not done until after your career is over, and I think it would be a lot worse for MMA fighters just because there's so much man hugging and Jesus loving going on in the sport to begin with, not to mention the "average fan" demographic which is basically rednecks and meatheads, groups not really known for their accepting natures. I remember a rumor floating around a while back (I think Tito was the one who twittered it) about a well known fighter being gay but it was vague and there was no follow up so it could have all been bullshit or it could have been covered up not to ruin the guy's career.

I think it's pretty common for all sportsmen to hide their preference or even rather, to be "straight", I think it was Bloody Sundays (can't recall) the NFL book where one gay player who remained anonymous said he was sure there were many other players but they'd never come out from fear of retribution even in the form of violence and spoke pretty candidly about what it's like to be a gay player.

If things change over the next few weeks/months I'm open to being convinced otherwise.
