Captain Log posted:I also thought a good liver shot basically flushed your system with every toxin your liver was processing from the past few months. Which would make it extra nasty for the Cerrone party hard types. Then again I only have heard medical science behind liver shots from ten years of following this ridiculous sport. Went and asked my med student sister and the flushing part seems to be wrong while the liver processes toxins (alcohol and stuff) through the bile it never stores any kind of poo poo.The problem with viscera and gland type stuff is that they are really dense with nerve endings so in the process of getting your liver hosed all those terminations flare up.Then the vagus goes to poo poo and the control over breathing rhythm, heart beat rate , and arterial pressure goes haywire. So don't get livershotted.

That's all pretty damned interesting based on what I thought I knew from following the sport. I've been stopped in sparring from a liver kick, trust me I know how much it blows. The why from a med student is cool. Can some other pro PSP posters weigh in with the whole liver dumping toxin thing I've heard for years. I'm interested now.

Steven Seagal once broke the wrist of sean connery because he wasn't paying attention to him while rehearsing an action scene in one of the bond movies. He also wanted to throw down with Van Damme.

Or perhaps it was bro science thought out by people whose only knowledge of the liver is "that's where alcohol goes!"

Seagal might be a joke and an rear end in a top hat, but it's still really funny how Anderson Silva and Machida both happened to win with weird poo poo after he somehow ended up in their entourages. What I'm saying is that I fully expect Cormier to win by KO (cartwheel kick)

Hitting people in the liver is really cool because it's 2004 and we're all watching pride with bas rutten and think that's good. Hm, oh wait. No. Actually all the fighters were always bad the entire time and bas rutten himself took a combined five and a half years to defeat jason deluca. Liver shots are for noobs and cowards, like rope breaks or beating an already unconscious Japanese man who the ref is wiggling around in front of you like how they feed zoo animals.

The last Bond movie Connery was in was in 1971, when Seagal was 19 years old, and a good 17 years before the first time Seagal was in a movie. Seagal did once get choked out by Gene Lebell though, as has been posted in these threads on multiple occasions. And Stephen Quadros once related an anecdote about shaking Seagal's hand on-set one time and immediately having to do a hapkido wristlock escape to prevent Seagal from loving with him.

MMA hipster right here; technique not obscure enough, is performed by jerks.

as rad as that liver kick was, the real highlight of Pettis/Cerrone is when Pettis attempts a goofy, handstand capoeira, and Cerrone knocks him out of the sky air with a step-knee.

Here's the pros picks on the big fight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1r7Vok6JN0 Johny Hendricks: Cormier by way of wrestling and power Josh Barnett: Cormier by superior takedown game and quick hands Anthony Pettis: Jones by championship experience Khabib Nurmagomedov: Cormier by wrestling and spirit Felice Herrig: Cormier by manhandle Jamie Varner: Cormier by athleticism Josh Thomson: Cormier by fighting smart

Just glancing at twitter, there's so much talk about predicting "The Buy Rate." I've never been able to figure out why MMA fans are so fixated on this and similar rating stats. Is it because the UFC came so close to the brink before the Zuffa purchase, and because Pride collapsed, so they like to occasionally check to make sure that their favourite sport isn't in danger of disappearing? Or is it some kind of stupid, misguided desire to see their favourite thing to be validated with "Mainstream Legitimacy" (presumably so they can say that they liked it before it was "mainstream")? Or is it just because they want to see that lots of other people are spending their money on the same dumb sport that they've chosen to spend their money on, hence confirmation that the dumb sport can't be really that dumb, because enough other people choose to spend their money on it, too, so the money wasn't wasted? Seriously PSP, explain this to me.

Detroit_Dogg posted:I want UFC to sell lots of pay per views because I like the UFC and want them to do well Ok, so in your case it's because you're a fan of the company as much as a fan of the sport? Or is it just that you want to keep an eye on the numbers to make sure that they're staying afloat so that your children's children can see fat guys punch each other at UFC 1000, perhaps from a concern that they could go out of business?
