There's too many loving Silvas. Are any of the 10 of them related?

So none of the ones that matter are related are related.

I know that in UFC and other MMA promotions, there's a rule against manipulation of small joints like fingers, etc. I know there are plenty of good reasons for it and I'm honestly afraid to find out, but... is there precedent for this poo poo happening in the ring? :ohdear:

Well I know there's records of a Pancrase champ from ancient Greece who would just break fingers until he won each match. Maybe they didn't want anyone getting any bright ideas?

Am I reading this wrong, or does he expect the judges to look up at the screens above the crowd if they can't see what's going on?

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.

The gays always say that about people they know.

I considered asking about starting some kind of MMA off topic thread for chatter.

Then a remembered who you people were and realized it really wouldn't matter.

Make a specific "off topic" thread on this site and it will eventually turn into how we should euthanize the mentally challenged or something. You can't give people an excuse "cut loose".

I wish at the amateur level, promoters had enough cash to cover per diems and bus fare or gas money. That would take the edge off of people scraping just to be able to fight.

Just move to Vegas, duh.

Thanks for the flip response to a general issue, I guess? I've known guys who couldn't accept an amateur fight out of state because they couldn't get a ride.

No, seriously. All fighters should move to Vegas.

Is baseball slide-kicking someone on the ground specifically illegal in most major promotions? I can't think of many good applications, it would at least be a funny way to kick dudes in that loving flipped-over turtle defense.

Because players are only paid for superior on field performance in other sports. Did you miss Derek Jeter getting a 4 year contract at huge money coming off the worst season of his career? Or Ryan Howard? There are tons of players in legitimate sports who are paid for who they are as much as how they play.

Sooo... that's a good thing?

A little while ago I found an old article about the then upcoming fight between Rich Franklin and Wandy. It said that Rich had been training with Anderson Silva. It then went on to suggest a "growing rivalry" between Andy and Wandy, I was wondering what, if anything, came of that, or if it was just an angle for the article to take.

Andy and Wandy sounds like an adorable kids show.

Sorry, PBS is going away because we need to trim federal spending. Also we need to massively expand federal spending by blowing up even more of the Middle East/North Africa

Just give Andy and Wandy a box o' grenades and have them go on a magical adventure.

The best "martial art" is to fish-hook someone's cheek off and then stomp on their knee caps while they're rolling around on the ground. BJJ / muai thai looks like the best combination for sport fighting.

I'm not sure if this is serious, but if it is you're retarded. Pain compliance techniques like fishhooking a cheek don't necessarily work when somebody is up on adrenaline and all of that "hit the weak point for massive damage" bullshit is useless unless you can punch hard and accurately without telegraphing. What you need for self defense is a decent grappling base so you can escape from the ground and the conditioning to run away faster than they can catch up. All other self defense poo poo is going to fail you when you're facing five people or someone with a knife.

I ain't talking about pain compliance. I'm saying that going all ape crazy and poking out eyeballs and biting ears off and poo poo would be, on average, the easiest way to beat someone in a "fight" (I just threw two things together in the first post). 99% of applicable people in the world wouldn't be able to set up an effective ground defense if you pulled their dick off.

Can we keep this kind of retarded argumentative my fake fighting from israel beats your fake fighting from Brazil in another thread like the A&T thread designed for this poo poo?

I think I missed a previous argument about dick-pull-off-fu, and something about Isreal. My previous posts are rendered null.
