I don't really know where to put this, but the BONE BREAK pictures in the new MMA and Wrestling Picture thread have reminded me of a kickboxing fight I saw maybe 15 years ago. One dude was wearing a grass skirt in this fight, and six seconds after it started, the other guy went down with a broken fibula. Like seriously, fighters close in, couple of punches to test the water, low roundhouse kick, guy falls over, ref call for the bell. Does anyone else remember this fight? I swear I'm not dreaming. I've googled kickboxing leg break, but there are so many I might have just made this particular one up.

I know there are a bunch of us who train/have experience in different martial arts, and I've always enjoyed reading stuff like Jack Slack articles. I think one goes up every now and then and falls off into archives after a little while.

Watching some random re-run on FX, I caught the Sonnen vs. Stann fight from UFC 136. The referee stands the fighters up early in the second round, before Sonnen gets Stann with an arm triangle. Can someone who knows the fight explain why the ref decided he would get them up? It's not like they weren't both working pretty hard, and it seems like it would be a disadvantage to someone whose game is mostly on the ground to get stood up while he's working for position.

Cool, thanks for the analysis. I've been doing bjj for about three months now so I'm a complete amateur when it comes to this stuff. The end of the fight really came out of nowhere for me; I don't think I've ever seen an arm triangle before.

DekeThornton posted:And even if you really haven't trained much grappling it's a pretty instinctive thing to just grab and squeeze someones neck if they stick it under your arm in a fight. I remember the first one I ever saw was a kickboxer doing it to another boxer or kickboxer on one of the single-digit UFC cards. The other guy tried the clumsiest takedown and put his head under the first guy's arm, and the first guy just grabbed his wrist and stood up straight. He had the greatest look on his face as it dawned to him that he was going to win without getting punched once.

Captain Log posted:I have a confession to make about my burgeoning interest in MMA around 2003. Me and a bunch of friends were watching a match that I can't recall if it was in an octagon or ring but it was two asian guys fightings. We had the fights DVRed, which was still pretty cutting edge at the time. One of the fighters was in an Orange speedo type trunks and started wailing on his opponent. All my friends and I freaked out and then paused the fight because we thought the announcer (could have been Mauro Ranallo (douche bad with a centimeter pole he talked about, I forget how to spell his name) or Rogan said something really racist and died laughing. Sounds like Kazushi Sakuraba. That should narrow down your search terms. I can't any matches of his where he actually threw good punches though.

That dude who is new to posting here about MMA should have to watch Royce Gracie vs. Kazushi Sakuraba like I had to. Drinking your weight in scotch and writing up 3300 words about it is optional but preferred.

Most of it is still at least sort of relevant, it's a hell of an effort and even if it makes people say the wrong things at least they might then get corrected without anyone calling them too many names.

Yeah people will report themselves if they've toxx'd on the outcome of a fight, and there's less and less of those all the time so it's not a big deal.

Mr. Nice! posted:Pancrase was worked more often than not. Here's a question; how much of this was "this is the guy who's winning because Yakuza money says he has to" and how much of it was "go out there and put on a super good show, even if that means doing things that wouldn't be the best move for a fight-fight type fight because the crowd of Yakuza heavies wants blood and guts"? Some of both?

That being said, it's probably somewhere on the order of 60-70% of NFL players that will end up with it.

Captain Log posted:I know I could ask this in QCS but there is a pretty specific look to OPs in PSP. I loving hate BB code. Is there a better way to type an OP, insert pictures, then insert it into the forums without breaking my "[" key? I use BBCeditor to put together the UFC monthly thread OPs. It's basically typing in a forum post box, you can preview it on a pane on the right side of the screen, it has most of the things like Ctrl-I for italics and Ctrl-B for bold tags etc etc. Worth taking a look at for a big effort post.

Just watched Lomachenko/Rigondeaux and it was a boring shitshow. Couple of questions. Did people who know anything about boxing (I do not) think it was a boring shitshow as well? Why did Rigo keep ducking so low? Was his excuse for quitting legit? It seems like of you're going to injure your hand you might maybe need to have landed a punch or two. Please educate me as to whether this fight was all it was cracked up to be or if people who know what they're watching agree with my bad takes.

kimbo305 posted:Even so, the fight was not boring just to be able to see Loma stay balanced every step of every movement, coming in and out, side to side, with incredible precision, anticipation, and orchestration of his opponent's actions. This is a really good paragraph to me. I get that my appreciation of any boxing match is always going to be tempered by my lack of knowledge of the sport and I simply couldn't see what was going on at anywhere near this level. Thanks for the explanation on the bending over as well, coming from watching a sport where doing that will get you kneed into the shadow realm it just seemed bizarre to me.

Also I went through my old posts in this thread because I'm waiting for code to compile and I figured out what this fight was. Stan Longinides vs. Dennis Alexio. Dennis was wearing the grass skirt and had his leg broken in a handful of seconds. December 6th, 1992. I didn't make it up! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qu1lbRfdQfY

Just doing some moderately-drunken Fightpass watching, and tracking some Bantamweight title fights. Couple of questions: What happened to Renan Barao? Just couldn't cut it once the level of competition stepped up? And what's the thing that Brazilians in the crowd chant when their dude is fighting?

I'm not going to break up Oildome chat in the UFC thread to ask this (seriously read the last few pages) but I have two questions: Who was the first MMA fighter to earn a million dollars or more from a fight? Which fight best shows off Vitor Belfort in all of his pure-horsemeat special-sauce glory?

kimbo305 posted:Including sponsorships and points? Maybe not sponsorship, but like from the promoter, paycheque + points adding up to more than a million. Listening to Big John McCarthy on Rogan's podcast he was saying that Lorenzo Fertitta told him once "I'm going to be the first MMA promoter to pay a fighter a million dollars for one fight" and I'm wondering when that milestone was passed.

 Paul Felder in the first round against Mike Perry at UFC 226 in July. I dont think he broke it elbowing PMP's head - I was pretty sure it was a checked kick, but could be wrong, and the image here from his manager's instagram seems to imply it was from an elbow. With the Spider leg break, I'm completely amazed that he managed to break both his fibula and tibia. I wondered at first if one of them broke and then the other let go when he tried to stand on it, but it really just went completely floppy after the checked kick. loving nightmare fuel.

Is there anyone in the top ten of one of the UFC's men's divisions 145 pounds and higher who wouldn't have won the UFC 1 tournament without breaking a sweat? I was watching some old UFC the other day while drinking with friends and the level of skill on display was almost universally garbage. poo poo has come a loooong way.
