Tuned in to see Bec Rawlings get kneebarred. Did she ever get any momentum in her career? Because all I ever remember is her stint on TUF and just losing constantly.

She had a decent start and fought for a title in Invicta, and then got a bunch of PR as a domestic abuse survivor and then she managed to gently caress it all up by exposing herself as a stupid bogan chud just before going onto TUF and you know the rest.

The only other thing is that she hosed up a bunch of girls in bare knuckle boxing over the last year or so. Now she has a 7-10 mma record or something like that.

Oh the only other fact that's interesting is that her abusive ex husband is that all-over tattooed guy who Ben '10' Ngyun KOs in all of those "MMA Karma Cocky fighter gets KOed" compillations.

Indeed, unless I've been misinformed.

e. I may have been misinformed. I'm trying to figure out what wires I got crossed.



k so the guy from the pic, who I thoguht was Bec Rawlings's ex is Julian Wallace, who was the ex husband of Jessica Rose-Clark, another heavily tattooed bogan strawweight. It's actually quite sad that there are two Aussie MMA couples with that same story.

Have you not seen most regional MMA titles? They're straight up premade generic belts that people will buy off websites like this one that was used when a teammate won the 155lb & 170lb title for a org that fed people into early days Bellator.

The only time I've seen MMA titles bestowed was the HEX Fight Series 12 event, where Izzy won the vacant middleweight belt, and Jim Crute defended his lhw belt. Those are pretty decent looking belts.

Crossposting from UFC thread:

quote:

“As long as you don’t go out there and throw fights and you show that you don’t want to be there or make it painful to watch, winning or losing doesn’t really matter in this sport,” he added. “It really doesn’t.

“Hell, Randy Couture was 18-13. If I told you he was coming back right now, everybody would try to sign him.”

“We were at some fights and we were watching two high-level guys,” Mir said. “She looked over at me. One of the guys was in the top ten rankings, right? She looked at me like, ‘Holy sh-t, you’ll be able to fight the rest of your life. This is horrible.’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, these are heavyweights.’

“Heavyweights suck, the majority of us,” he continued. “We’re just not very good fighters. They’re like watching polar bears fighting over some food. Balance isn’t great. No one knows how to do submissions barely. Once you get out of the top ten, you’re really scratching the bottom of the barrel.

Usually in a situation like that legal basically means "seems to be aiming around the back of the head". The biggest two shots were clearly legal.

Normally the whole "x fighter should retire" thing is based on taking a ton of damage and fears for their health, but Rory just hasn't seemed like his heart is in fighting for a long fuckin' time, now.

The best/worst I can recall was Matt Lindland after getting KO'd by Vitor. It seemed to go on for waaaay longer than is normal, and they kept having to cut around it while Vitor was celebrating with his corner. Lindland was just stuck in some kind of weird mental place where he couldn't snap out of it even though like all of the ring docs and cutmen and commission guys were grabbing him and trying to talk to him. The wrestle part of his brain was on autopilot and the rest of him wasn't medically awake. It was basically the Mark Coleman IKEA story in real life. Even Vitor seemed to get kinda concerned after a while.
