UFC 239: The OFFICIAL thread

[heavenlyboy34]

Looking forward to it. I'm rooting for Santos partly to be a contrarian and partly because he looks damn good. [MENTION=8569]Kotin[/MENTION]

Nao you have a golden opportunity! After it's over someone or another will post the full bout.

guess they ran out of guys for jones?? or am I missing something? Santos is good no question but doesnt seem to be even top 5 in the division..


But I am definitely pulling for Holly Holm.. how can you not like her?!

I like Holm in her bout. Sorry, I should've mentioned that in the OP. #kurwa.

They wear onesies or Speedos for a uniform.

And they often win by "mounting" the other fellow and putting his balls in the other guys' face.

I don't mind some hair pulling and maybe slopping around in the mud a little, but not a big fan of watching chicks beat the crap out of each other.

Of course. Wouldn't wanna ruin those pretty faces.

honestly many of their fights are fantastic... just remember, it is an art to these people and they are very passionate about it

It's just a sport, bro. The strikes that are legal in MMA (and sport muay thai/kickboxing, for that matter) heal up cleanly and quite quickly.

Typical snark to be expected from someone who doesn't appreciate the art of grappling. Whether Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Grecco-Roman wrestling, or Judo, they've all been incorporated into MMA. "Mount" is not an inherently winning position (Royce Grace defeated Akebono by armbar when being crushed under his weight), it's just a position to apply one of many techniques from. Same as "full guard" or "half guard".

It's practical. Olympic wrestlers wear 'em. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GrrQQ0ufYQ (vidya won't embed for some reason)

And yet, you don't dispute anything I said. I was merely letting AG -- who claims to have never watched it -- know that if he sees 1 dude sitting with his speedo covered balls in the face and on the top of another man; that this is actually expected and he didn't accidentally change the channel to something gay.

Let me see if I can 'splain a little better. Mount has a purpose in the BJJ syllabus of techniques. It manipulates the opponent to move in a specific way, which allows one an opportunity to perform a technique or series of techniques to gain advantage or, ideally, win the bout.

They should rename the full mount to the teabag.

It's all fun and chuckles till the purple belt is choking you unconscious....
