I just did some reading on it, and it appears that he's included as a heterosexual model in this mix of gay models, and he's doing so to make a personal statement of inclusivity.

So he's not gay, he's just saying that he's happy to have gay men admire his bare chest.

I used to judge people for hitting the unconscious man they were fighting sometimes less than 1 second ago but then I remember that they've been hit in the head a hundred times and their body is only still working because every cell is screaming to their brain that they're either getting chased by a lion or fighting one, doesn't matter, here's the stuff needed to be as effective at that poo poo as possible.

In some instance like the black beast v browne fight, fair enough but hendo publicly said that he knew Bisping was out and hit him anyway and it was pretty obvious he hated lombard too.

That makes it malicious rather than competitive or adrenaline imo.

Just because he made the conscious decision to drop it on him doesn't mean his decision making process wasn't impaired by adrenaline.

I wouldn't like any decision I made literally seconds after being in a confrontation to be held against me as representative of my personality. I'm actually a bit of a oval office when I'm concerned for my safety. Generally though I try to not be a oval office.

I would feel bad for a comatose Bisping getting punched in the head after he's down, but he likes to eye-gouge, low blow, and spit on people so gently caress him

So can we all be but I dont have 47 professional fights and a wreslting career spanning 17 years.

Circumstances can be mitigating but you're still responsible for your actions and if youre the only one doing it its a bit weak to say "oh his blood was up".

Plenty of fighters who fight with emotion don't pull the poo poo he did/does.

Its almost the same as doing what Palheres has done countless times. Not one person wrote off his bullshit as "heat of the moment" and you probably shouldn't just because Hendo is a cool dude.

It's completely different from palhares because the ref was trying to stop it. I personally have never acted in a particularly vicious manner to a defeated opponent, but I'm not going to blame the ones who hear FINISH HIM and no one's stopped them yet. It's within the rules. It's what both parties signed on for.

I wasnt aware Hendo had a reputation for late shots. Every time i can remember hes always stopped when the ref gets there if not before. Because of his style theres a lot of times where he has to swarm a guy he knocked down that isnt cleanly knocked out - Babalu, Feijao, Shogun II, Boetsch... Fedor he faceplanted and hit with some arguably unnecessary shots and people still complained it was an early stoppage. A couple times hes totally KOd someone, like Shields, and they came back to win because he didnt follow up enough. So its kinda hard to ask in that split second to decide to stop hitting a guy who may or may not actually be done. Theres also been times when the guy was clearly out and Hendo stopped before the ref even got there, like the Renzo fight

The only pretty bad one is probably the Bisping one, which has been discussed plenty over the years

Jan 26, 2006
But yeah Palhares is worse because theres been multiple times where his opponent is screaming and clearly tapping and/or the ref is literally trying to pull him off and he wont stop maiming him

It'd be comparable if Hendo's opponents were screaming in agony and tapping out and sometimes the ref is also trying to stop the fight.

manyak
Jan 26, 2006

Someone appearing knocked out is not enough reason to stop fighting, you cant tell in the moment and often guys who seem like theyre totally slept like Shields (who faceplanted with his eyes rolled back) wake up and come back to win the fight if you dont follow up. Also the ref "rushing in" outside of your field of view isnt remotely the same as the ref having his hands on you trying to pry you off the other guy and you keep cranking the submission. Hendo has never hit a guy after the ref stopped him

re-watching barboza / fergusson for like the sixth time and holy poo poo it is so sick.

the most remarkable facet of this fight that is made up almost entirely of remarkable facets is big john getting on my tits. post fergusson's insanely illegal upkick to barboza's skull big john immediately said 'you're not hurt, get up'. gently caress you big john.

anyway i have no idea how fergusson is going to hold up against khabib but i do know all those empty seats in the arena are unwarranted.
