Ok so here's a dumb question: Sometimes when one fighter is on his back, with the other guy standing over him, the fighter on his back will put his hands behind his head like he's relaxing. What's that for?

Called guillotines a myth on the same night a fighter was put to sleep with one.

Yea but JJ did it Marcelo style/ Mckenzie style AKA the only real guillotine. Standard guilloties are for scrubs.

Nothing is more frustrating than seeing a guy concede a takedown to go for a guillotine. It's happened like 500 times and the only time it actually worked was for that British lightweight guy whose name escapes me at the moment.

Watch "The Smashing Machine" if you want to learn about the soul crushing misery that is Mark Kerr's existence. Also Mark Coleman is in there.

So how did Muay Thai end up in Brazil anyway. It's from Thailand, right? Why do basically all Brazillian fighters seem to specialize in it?

I love GSP too, and can even forgive him for the Shields fight because of the eye thing, but not being able to finish Hardy is inexcusable.

He seems like a very nice man though and I don't think we've ever heard anyone in the fight business say a bad thing about him (BJ Penn excluded), so I am just kinda neutral about his fights now, and hope he goes back to doing cool fight things eventually. Maybe we need another Hughes fight.

edit: Forgot about his season of TUF. If you can watch that and come away hating GSP then get in my guard fucker.

Alex Caceres is a street fight man and has won real UFC fights for real, so that's pretty good, even if he is kind of a goof. Plus he made Edwin Figueroa put on an impromptu fire safety class and that was funny.

Can someone explain who the Garv is? From what I can gather, I think he was a poster here that used SASMMA opinions and posts as articles on his website. It looks like he has a local NY/NJ MMA site.

He is a lovely journalist who pretended to be his own biggest fan on SAS to get readers. He posted some dreadful Fedor fan fiction BS in an attempt to get people to like him. After he was exposed as awful and unfunny he did the world's worst puppet master routine, and now occasionally writes irrelevent mma articles that no one cares about.

I do not care for him.

Have there been any notable suicides in MMA? The Jovan Belcher story has got a lot of people talking about the correlation between traumatic brain injury and mental health again, (I don't follow football so I don't know many specifics on that argument in relation to the NFL, but it made me think about my favorite sport in which people punch-kick one another's heads a lot.)

Not yet, but Penn's decided to be the first. :twisted:

Sounds to me like you're thinking of Marlon Sandro vs Pat Curran

He only does that after a finish. :(

Thanks guys, I grabbed the free trial. UFC 1 is loving bonkers. Is there a thread for asking for suggestions for what else to watch, or is doing so here kosher?

Check this'n out.

If we're just doing Moments then



And where's that gif of those two guys on a UFC prelim, where they are both on their backs throwing just the worst punches ever at each other?
