Is there a general UFC thread I can take all of my comments on this stuff to? Cause I just watched Hackeny punch some weirdo Jesus freak who later went to jail for gang rape in the dick like 10 times and it was pretty much the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

Just throw poo poo in the monthly thread, people are always down to get a fresh fan addicted.

This month's UFC thread isn't called UFC [month] for drug testy reasons, so he's the link over to it incase you couldn't find it but it usually is UFC [month] with the same tag each time. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3647047

A few pages ago there was a question and several answers about why elbows aren't used more often. This sort of analysis is exactly the sort of thing I'd like to read and post about, so here are my thoughts. I use some judo terms here: uke is the person performing the technique, tori is the partner. Elbows are chronically under-used. Difficulties in training have already been mentioned. Elbows gently caress you up, and its really hard to use them in sparring without causing real damage. They are also not so common a technique; finding legit Muay Thai guys who are really experienced in them isn't nearly as easy as finding boxing instruction. Anyway, so its a bit hard to train. Here are areas where I think elbows should be used more: -The clinch. They're used all the time here, but it could be more. I think there are too many haymaker attempts. That Neer fight that was posted showed that short, non-horizontal elbows can be ultra effective. Lots of room to grow here. -Hand fighting Perfect for Jones, but other fighters can use it as well  (gif isn't a good example since where was no hand fighting here, but it was cool and handfighting set up several elbows in the fight, use your imagination) -Clinch breaks. This could almost be a sport in itself, and the whole notion is greatly under-used. Elbows are but one technique that can be really useful as a surprise, short-range blow. -In-fighting If you're close enough to throw an uppercut or short hook, you're probably in elbow range as well. Several people mentioned how Jones's success with elbows is due to his huge reach. No arguments here. But that doesn't mean that only long-armed guys should throw them. They should be part of the arsenal used by short guys to fight on the inside and stifle long-range attacks. Boxers have done this for ages -illegally- by throwing a punch and "missing" only to connect with an elbow instead. This is a great fakeout and would work well with MMA. -Grappling. Travis Brown showed there are completely new and hilarious ways to use elbows. This applies both standing and on the ground. There's a whole world of elbows to use here, from almost every position. -Elbows, not to the face. Why not elbow to the guts, or thigh, or solar plexus? I've seen some interesting ones to the shoulder joint, and Pride actually had more body-elbows than I see in the UFC. -Limb destruction Block a punch with the tip of your elbow. Escrima has it, and apparently so does boxing. I've never seen this done in real life, and wonder if its really possible. So, basically, use elbows everywhere.

Blocking punches with elbows is very much a part of boxing and is very effective and painful. Usually you use them to block body shots.

Would this not be a lot easier to do when blocking huge boxing gloves? Could it work in MMA? I see people punch elbows and forearms all the time, though it never looks intended to hurt.

Yeah it would work with mma gloves. It's not so much that you are throwing your elbows at their fists, you just drop them down to cover the side of your midsection, and if you happen to catch my elbow sucks to be you. Source: I used to box and have really sharp elbows.

Aren't elbows pretty hard to land though? For most of us who don't have ape limbs, they either have to be moving towards you as you strike or they need to be up against the cage? idk my striking sucks

I think this is the major problem.

Has Matt Brown actually improved in his sub defense? I recently rewatched the Brown/E. Silva fight and I have to believe that the Brown who got subbed by Seth Baczynski would have gotten RNC'd by Silva during the early part of the first round.

I don't really have an answer for that, but Brown's problem was getting overly agressive and diving into subs. Against Silva he was hurt and obviously knew the sub was coming, and defended very well.

I would imagine that in the last three years he's improved his sub defense somewhat, if from nothing else, just the sheer number of reps he's gotten from training, but he's also gotten better at keeping fights on the feet. I don't think it'll be overly important against Lawlor because he seems to like standing in tight and fighting.

Bascynzki is actually a pretty good fighter and was easily hurting matt standing, and hurt him bad before he guillotined him. As far as improved sub defense, I guess if hes drilled way more and could instinctively defend the choke better yeah then he wouldn't get choked. But pretty much anybody is vulnerable to being choked when theyre unable to avoid getting hurt on the feet and are forced to go to an area of the fight where they aren't as comfortable. I think every time Matt got subbed in the UFC it came right after somebody blasted him with hard punches. Maybe there was one stray one where he wasn't, but I don't think so. Even Big Dog had to hurt him before he tapped him. I think if anything, his improved striking defense and ability to avoid GnP from his back has kept him from getting subbed. When Kim took Brown's back at the beginning of their fight, he defended well, because he had his wits about him. Bundt Cake fucked around with this message at 22:13 on Jul 22, 2014 |

I just watched No Holds Barred, and I now fully believe Hogan when he claims McMahon co-wrote it. Did we ever have a thread or few pages of discussion about the film? I've watched plenty of awful films, and even I am in awe of No Holds Barred.

Are there any stories about Ken Shamrock being afraid of Dan Severn? He outright refused to work with TNA if they had Severn on their first show (Severn was NWA champion at the time and they were going to crown a new NWA champion.) Obviously all fans are afraid of them being in the same building after UFC 9.

I have a gear question that can hopefully be answered in this thread. I'm interested in picking up wrestling and I'm looking for a decent pair of wrestling shoes. I'm wondering if I'm better off going with a snugger fit or going for maximum comfort right out of the box. I went for a snug fit on my taekwondo shoes per the suggestion of the person who sold them to me, but I'd like to hear some other opinions on the matter. Thanks!
