If Frank Mir breaks someone's arm for the 3rd time, should he be sanctioned?

thats the last broken limb youll see from mir i assure you because its the last time any of his opponents will be ******ed enough to try holding out when he locks on a sub

 

I doubt he even knows who he is

 

Frankly you are talking like somebody who has never grappled nor has ever applied a submission even as a beginner. It is ALWAYS the guy getting armlocked or leglocked responsiblity to tap.

In fight A) Mir broke it because he applied the armbar too far down, what is he going to let it go and start over? its tantamount to hurting a guy with your forearm when you ment to punch.

In fight B) Nog had plenty of time to tap and refused, it wasn't renzo vs saku was it? It was a conscious choice

Otherwise get over your squemishness, it is a joke that guys can get utterly pummeled into the ground or given brain damage in boxing over an extended period and you are interested in broken limbs which heal easily with little to no perminant damage.

 

Since when have arm breaks ever driven an audience away? Pure conjecture.

Good luck to Frank if he manages to find a third person who is stupid enough not to tap.

 

Personally, I don't think it's a big issue.

In interviews, Mir has already admitted that he likes the reputation of breaking peoples' arms, which hasn't been picked up by the media. He also has stated that he knew that Nog was not going to tap, so he got in position to intentionally break his arm.

If Mir did break another arm, and the major media did get news of it, then the UFC could react in various ways. They just got to weigh their actions and try to balance what action they take between what the different demographics of their fans want: hard core versus casual, those who love blood versus those who view MMA as a sport, newcomers to the sport versus long time fans. I don't think it will happen, but if your hypothetical came true, here are some things that CAN be done.

1. Throw up a disclaimer before a UFC event, especially those on FOX, that things could get bloody, that bone breaks could happen. If a break did happen, explain why it happened, "Nog did not tap." That UFC will pay for his operation. That is it very rare for this to happen.

2. Censorship. If it's on Fox, then blur it out. A lot people who watched UFC for the blood would be pissed, but the fans that enjoy it as a sport might be satsified. Other small things like not doing the post fight interview with Nog lying right behind Mir and Rogan, while they gleefully discuss the break might help, also.

3. Choice, which will probably be possible if the UFC wanted it, for at least PPV's. Have a PG version and a normal version of UFC event available on PPV. Where in case of gaping wounds, broken bones, and excess blood, that **** gets blurred out. Probably make everyone happy.

4. Don't put Mir up against anyone that would probably not tap. Don't put Mir on a Fox card. Keep him on PPV, where injuries like this are probably a bit more accepted, as the PPV buyers tend to be the more hardcore fans.

 

I think your making this more dramatic then it has be, if the guy taps this doesn't happen not to mention these have happened over a long period of time, it's not like every second fight this happens.

 

Next up, firefighters get arrested for fighting fires.

 

It's different if the guy is tapping and he doesn't let the hold go until it breaks. Mir does his job, who would have guessed he would have broken the arm of the best HW BJJ's of all time, it's not like he broke some the arm of some rookie.

 

To be honest I'm glad he snapped his arm. After their last fight when Nog get's on the mic and says he had staph infection and was half dead...bla bla bla. basically taking everything away from mir's win because mir was the first to finish him. It didn't matter Cain KTFO him even quicker not far after.

If Nog was too ill to fight he shouldn't have taken the fight instead of disrespecting mir like he did. but Karma came back to haunt him.

 

This is ******ed. Should Mir be sanctioned for breaking some ****s arm who didn't tap ? Get the **** out of here.

What next should fighters be sanctioned for knocking someone out ?

Ridiculous thread.
