Has anything happened in an MMA fight that bothered you


__C_A__

Recommended Posts

Like anything that has seriously made you cringe?

I dont necessarily mean a devastating KO, but maybe after the actual knockout

For an example, mine would be Brendan shaub vs cro cop

The way after Brendan dropped cro cop and he was obviously out, and he then proceeded to walk slowly and menacingly over to crop cop and dropped a completely unguarded bomb to his face and bounced his head off the canvas when mirko was 100% gone before hand

Plus the look on schaub's face after the ko when the camera cut to him, dude just looked like a killer

 

Any for you guys?

What you just described has happened hundreds of times. The most notable being Hendo/Bisping or Rampage/Wand III.

 

Kim Winslow refusing to stop the fight while Cyborg smashed Finney or King Mo punched a clearly unconscious Larkin was pretty bad

 

Stann V Sakara -- once Stann realised sakara was out he stopped pounding. This was a good thing.

 

I may get attacked for this but I felt the way Jones dropped Machida was a bit off.

Still what was he supposed to do I guess.

Shes the worst. Its to the point now where I nitpick every little thing that happens when she's reffing (despite the fact that shes super sexy- actually she kinda reminds me of Lurch from the Adams family).

Jones throwing unconsciouss Lyoto on the canvas like he was a bag of potatoes. Total lack of respect and care for your fellow human/competitor.

 

When Lyoto KTFO of Rashad should he also try to stop his fellow human/competitor from doing the stanky leg all the way to the floor?

Jones submitting Machida then dropping him. Rory looked like a retard doing his "technique" against Penn. Made me feel embarrassed for him.

 

Penn at WW bothers me.

 

GSP when he goes for a takedown in the first 10 seconds of the round.

 

and judges bother me.

The TKO stoppage of Condit over Rory bothered me, I can name 50 fights where guys have taken more punishment and the fight wasn't stopped. Excuses bother me a lot too.

 

I honestly don't mind the broken bones, the unnecessary punches on a KO'd opponent, the blood, the tears, the shattered spirits. I think it's part of mixed martial arts, I think it's a beautiful thing. Some guys have to lose their minds to fight to their full potentials, it's the refs job to protect the fighters, the gladiators fighting in the arena....

I agree to an extent, it still doesn't stop me wincing when a guy gets his nose pancaked.

Seeing Lil Nog beat Tito seriously made me cringe.

Tito shoulda had that fight in the bag but he came out way too aggressive too fast and got caught. I was pretty sure he was done after that. Also, Forrest Griffin every time he runs out of the cage I just feel so depressed. I remember him being the champ and to see him in his ways now upsets me deeply.

I also thought Jones shouldn't have dropped Machida. Jones knew he was out and dead weight.

That's impossible to do. Use your brain.

 

When you're already holding an unconscious person by their neck it takes no effort to ease them down on the floor. Those 2 little seconds of effort can make a huge difference for that person's health.

Disagree.

1. Rory practically wasn't defending himself for a minute.

2. If we are speaking of martial arts one of main characteristics is CONTROL. Beating KO'd person has nothing to do with control, it's the opposite - no control over behaviour, these fighters beat people for other reasons than competitive.

The common trend that bothers me in the ring,is fouls and warnings.

it is ridiculous because the system does NOTHING to help the guy who got fouled.The way it is designed is you SHOULD commit a foul to get the upper hand,all you will get is a warning.BJ Penn used an eye poke to almost get a huge upper hand on GSP and there was not even a warning.Early Rumble looked really good until he got eye poked,then again versus KOS,it created long layoffs and he got terribly out of shape.

 

What makes the whole system worse is that if you are truly losing 2 rounds to 0 ,you have nothing to lose,so go out and foul,if you get away with it,maybe you gain the edge you need to get a finish or KO.

Corey Hill's broken leg made me cringe and so did Big Nog's broken arm. It's gross to see an arm pop like that just because you know what happened.

 

Some may not agree but foot stomps seem like a cheap and desparate move to me.

 

What about that push kick to the knee? Effective but cheap

I would have to disagree. If Foot stomps are cheap and desperate so is checking a kick. IDK i just see it as a viable technique and same relative potential for damage as any other. Eye gouging, biting, or groin shots can be done by anyone quite frequently and all can have a significant impact on the fight. Usually a foot stomp just forces movement in a clinch and allows for changing of weight distribution to set-up takedowns.

Just effective. If a kick designed to hyperextend the knee is cheap then so is a hard roundhouse that buckles the knee sideways which can damage the lateral miniscus for example and probably just as easily as the push/stomp kick to the knee to hyperextend and damage the ACL.

 

Cory Hill type leg breaks and Gonzaga type kicks to the nuts.

 

Chieck Cup knees are the worst!

 

IDK that kick Gonzaga landed on Chris Tuchscherer was worse than anything i've seen Kongo do. It was like an Aldo velocity kick stepping in full blast kick to the nuts. GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember ninja rua vs otsuka when ninja broke otsuka's cup with a knee to the groin.

This is kind of random and I dont know how many of you actually saw it, but a few TUFs ago in the opening tryout round this guy got KTFO and laid on the mat moaning crazily and loudly to the point where everyone was like WTF is going on. Had never seen that happen before or since and it bothered me because I thought the dude had something seriously wrong with him. It was pretty intense.

When Diaz talked trash about Condit right after Condit won the interim belt. Condit was nothing but class and a sportsman, and it really took away the moment from Condit. Really didn't like that, and was a sore loser move on Diaz's part to trash his fighting style and make a big controversy over something because he couldn't accept that he lost the fight

It`s gonna be a dogfight...

 

i was a big condit fan and after that fight i was so dissapointed he devolved into NBR.

i know... tactics ,gameplan etc....

but i like seeing fighters going all out, try to win with skills, heart and killer instinct. and i hate people who take that away from them.

 

so G.Jackson bothers me :-q

Diaz was a sore loser and took away Condit's moment. people wait their whole lives for moments like that, and Diaz basically ruined the entire thing by talking trash after his loss

There was nothing else he could do in that situation. You sound like a retarded Jones hater.

 

And I'm a Machida fan.

 

So if you are handed a child and he falls asleep you drop him instantly?

 

Nothing he could do? Really? He choked him unconscious while standing which means he was already carrying Lyoto´s weight. He made the decision to suddenly release his grip. Are you telling me he didn´t have the skills to gently lay him on the floor?

See IMO, the thing is...these dudes work hard their entire lives to get into a position where condit was

Nick diaz's style is to back you down and unload...Carlos didn't allow that

This isn't some bar room brawl where if you lose, you just lose

The way the UFC is, losing a fight can be the end of your career and EVERYTHING you've worked for your entire life

I really wish fans would realize this is a PROFESSIONAL sport, not some backyard fighting BS where the only thing on the line is pride/health

Getting into slugfest with opponents just to impress fickle fans isn't always the best way to conduct your career

You have to remember, these fights ARE for our entertainment, but these dudes are basically trained killers who have mastered the art of hurting people for sport

I think what condit did was beautiful in not only that he won....but he had enough confidence in himself and was head strong enough to stick to his (winning) gameplan and not get lured into Diaz's game but the taunting and **** talking

Many other men would have crumbled and basically been mind ****ed by nick and became his ****
