Let's just pretend that didn't happen.

Well regardless I'm sure rin has moved on since her defeats in the UFC. Just last month she won a decisive victory in Pancrase... against a 40-year-old.

Also I'm looking at her blog (via google translate). She seems to be having some trouble as of late. Her computer got hacked, and in the post under that one she seems to be complaining that the players on her city's soccer team make more money than she does? Idk does anybody here read japanese. Anyway ganbare rin-chan.

Why would that fighter agree to it? What accomplishment would she feel in battering that untrained woman?

She was probably an undercard fight and her opponent was a no show so the venue needed to get someone for her to fight to keep the few paying spectators appeased. Maybe she even got a hundred bucks or something as the undercard winner. There aren't many spare female mma fighters around so the venue probably just literally asked all the trainers there if they had a spare.

They should have just changed it to an exhibition or whatever. The first time you end up in a spot like this as a fighter you usually don't know what you're supposed to do so you just go out and murder the other person because your prep was to be maximally ready and fight to your fullest and it's hard to put the brakes on a train. People who have been fighting for a long time but haven't managed to climb the ladder far enough end up doing these fights from time to time and you learn to take it easy on the chump so long as the chump isn't swinging for the fences (which puts you at a small risk of losing to a chump, especially in mma). An undefeated fighter will be given shots up the ladder very often even if he's only like 6-0. Once you have a defeat it's like you're begging for any meaningful and therefore potentially monetarily rewarding contest at all, especially if you're a boxer, but also if you're an mma fighter. Your coach is usually a fighter with a deep history in the sport but who never made it to the upper crust, which means he's likely to have a 30-7 record or something like that, and he remembers what happened to his prospects after his first loss, so often your coach will tell you to take no chances and just put the opponent dead away, even if they're obviously poo poo and almost no risk to you.

Also when you're training you eventually meet someone that can't turn off training mode when he gets in the ring to go knives out. There's a ghost of this guy in your mind early on and you want to make sure you keep in contact with the real fighter you are working hard to be.

These things easily add up to occasional huge and obvious mismatches. Generally though the person on the sour end of the match kind of implicitly understands all of this, knows they have no shot, but they're still brave enough to enter a real fight. So it's not as bad as it seems. It is important though that if you have real career prospects that your trainer and you safeguard your lossless record. This makes for a lot of avoidance at the top end between two very competitive fighters even in mma where there is only one sanctioning body that has the money/clout to get the tv time to in turn pay you anything nonnegligible, as opposed to boxing where HBO, Showtime and Fox kind of bid for various associations' bigger fights/events b and therefore it's harder to force two top guys to go head to head, which is almost always a poor financial decision for a fighter with prospects.

The brilliance of my posting illuminates the forums like a jar of shining gold when all around is dark
Ninjas are masters of stealth, infiltration, and assassination, not combat sport fighting in front of a huge audience. You never see ninjas in the Octagon because if a ninja is any drat good you don't see him period.

Yes, moridins argument was that ninjitsu was more practical on the streets as opposed to in the octagon. It's pretty much equally retarded but let's not misrepresent the man.

my argument is that 1.) mma dudes are as capable of gouging eyes or slamming your nutsack as any ninja 2.) most street fights end up in wrestling anyway (unless you manage to ko your opponent in the first seconds of the fight, source: liveleak videos) so your wrong morondin

grappling is no match for throwing down a smoke bomb and when it clears up the other guy realizes he actually just body-slammed a log, that's why it's against the rules in the octagon

At one point Falcao is knocked unconscious with a baseball bat and the men still continue the attack, punching, kicking his head and stomping on him several times. Maiquel Falcao and his friend were sent to the hospital with serious injuries.


because being a good fighter in the ring means not much in reality. you can beat up the average drunk schlub at the bar congrats lol. the best technique is still to just run away and/or not be a douche to begin with.

e: skip to about 40 seconds in to see some dude creep up from the back and hit him with a baseball bat

you are the best part of the thread because I am actually learning something from reading your posts and I get what you're saying about how MMA isn't real fighting compared to a street fight or some poo poo due to rules preventing matches from turning into endless dick punching

but you are also the best because the responses to the goon ninja brigade are amazing I don't care if you're serious or not but never stop
