opponent had a spray tan, fight doesn't count

Kinda feel that makes sense. How is that any different from actual greasing? Granted I say this without ever having used spray tan, is it really perfectly dry?

That certainly sucks.

That does suck but what an idiotic loving article. MMA is already under scrutiny and criticism and writing things like "death is a part of the fight game" and "[..] just to name a few" doesn't help anybody, least of all this dumb sport.

I just got back from watching this card live, and it was good fun. IRFA is turning into the best local organisation for up and coming Young fighters with good competitive matchups.

As a bonus I also spotted Joanne Calderwood in the audience. Apperantly she's been over to spar att Gustafsson's home gym, Allstars.

Yep! Wearing a Berserk hoodie myself no less. Shame about poor Alexs, he wasn't very happy with his performance. He was basically Jon Jones in comparison to that loving announcer though, holy crap. On a lighter note Karl's match was really cool. Where were you?

Minowa has a tremendous amount of experience in the ring, while I only have experience in training, sparring, etc. On the other hand, my age, height, and the fact that he doesn't know anything about me and my practice works a little more to my advantage.

Goran Jettingstad posted:

Would be boring to say height [is my advantage], so I'll go with the fact that he doesn't know anything about me and my style. In the meantime we are training to be able to withstand anything we've seen him come up with in previous matches, with marked improvement.

Tim Sylvia in the last 5 years has routinely shown up to fights in much worse shape than James Thompson has. Let that factoid sink in.

A factoid is the opposite of what you want to say

this is in relation to words on the internet describing a fight no one else is seeing - it doesn't matter what colour hair, shorts or gloves they wear, let alone whether they are a Black Guy or a White Guy which is my point, it's a completely meaningless descriptor and i'm confused why you'd insist on it, or defend it, especially while at the same time giving a much better descriptor: a name!

it's honestly not s super controversial question to ask

There is no way this is real. You all do know what happens when chutes get tangled, right? And if you collide while free falling you will quite literally die from parts of you flying off.

While I'm sure it could be fake you did see them collide without losing a limb and/or dying in the clip right

Garcia's fighting style makes me irrationally angry. I loathe fat gently caress Roy Nelson for the same reason

They're both embarrasingly sloppy and the antithesis to what I like in MMA. Roy Nelson has approximately one punch in his entire arsenal and Garcia has two, both of which are T-Rex hooks. People cheering and complimenting Garcia for being 'scrappy' when all he does is swing like a drunk middle-aged bar fighter makes me sigh in disappointment.
