This is really cool! Watching her fights edited together like that, I get old school Wanderlei or Shogun vibes off of her. Obviously not the same skill level, but in the relentlessness and the way she just continues to pound on opponents as they go to the ground. She's great.


Dude, I don't care :). I'm just trying to avoid offsite drama about me coming into this thread. Making dumb posts at me is fine. We're all brothers and sisters in bad posting here.

I like that moment where she punches GdR's arm to flatten her out. Nunes for 2 weight champ

Amazing. Watched 'em all. The only thing I'd change is sub in is a Nunes KO on the lyric "You think I'm lyin', you right, see my teeth." on the legend has it highlight. So good.

Also, Jon Jones is kinda vindicated while Bisping is kind of a poo poo, IMO. Why'd he do that to Jorge?!!

I did notice something kinda cool:

When McMann and Baszler throw half-assed, lovely low kicks that don't have a hope of connecting, and they slowly spin back around, Nunes leaps in with a punch to the loving face. Who are some other folks that pounce on "mistakes" like that? I thought I remembered someone else that did something similar?

weidman and rockhold with the ill conceived spinning kick seems like the obvious answer, and then bisping against rockhold although it didnt involve anyone spinning .. kinda like a matryoshka doll of fuckups when you think about it

Dillashaw did it against Barao. Everytime Barao would start flurrying with those powerful hooks of his to create space, TJ would wait for him to pause, then rush in and punch him in the face.

saying someone is stalking you is a pretty gross accusation to make, especially considering what's happening on this very website with the space ship video game freaks doxxing disabled kids and actually stalking people online. if you're shown to be actually doing that or if you accuse someone of doing it based on nothing than you should be banned. ban mobn

My favorite Nunes moment so far is when she comes out looking like she was going to fight smart and keep Ronda on the end of her punches, then immediately brawling after she hurts Ronda and realizes Ronda has nothing for her.

There was that entire Fallon Fox conversation a while ago about basically this if you want to look it up. I think the science pointed to "yes" on that front.

Nah. WADA and the Olympic Committee are allowing trans athletes now: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/jan/25/ioc-rules-transgender-athletes-can-take-part-in-olympics-without-surgery

The rule is basically that you need to consistently test in the normal hormone range for your gender for a full year before competition in order to compete. Since USADA is the American associate of WADA I would imagine they'd use some variation of those rules if it came up. For a trans woman to compete, the concern seems to be that she'd some how have freakish man strength, but it's pretty well established that testosterone is what enables people to build muscle mass and strength. If it's in the normal female ranges for an extended period of time the athlete shouldn't have any kind of strength advantage.

I think the roadblock to seeing a bunch of trans people fighting in MMA is really just the fact that there's not a lot of trans people into MMA, and perhaps social stigma in some places. I recall one of Fallon Fox's opponents immediately falling back to accusing her of having man strength when she got beat up. And it's not that long ago that we had someone like Big Nog saying he wouldn't roll with a gay fighter.

Yeah 'm familiar with that one. The weird implication of that whole thing is that estrogen would need to be classified as a performance-inhibiting substance.

Having read the article there, that's actually an extremely high threshold.

Yes, but if you read the article there, for a MTF person to qualify, she needs to be within normal ranges for a full year before qualifying, and to even get to normal female ranges actually takes some time on its own.

Also keep in mind that argument was made by experts like Joe Rogan who also unironically laughed at how fast post-TRT Vitor turned into a deflated basketball after he lost his jesus juice.

Yeah, this part isn't as well studied, but the IOC was comfortable enough that it didn't effect athletic performance that it's a non-issue. Anecdotally I've lost like 4" off my biceps so far.

Also these arguments also seem to focus specifically on trans women. Do people just have 0 reservations about trans men fighting cis men? Trans men literally get to jack themselves up on an infinite supply of testosterone to transition yet it never seems to come up.

In my experience, this isn't always true and gender neutral pronouns should probably be used when you're addressing someone who you know is trans but not how they fully identify. S'not like that's hard or intended to cause offence.
