Ricardo Mayorga Prepares For His MMA Debut

Whatever makes you sleep better at night.

 

Smooth jackass. :good

 

Let's just agree to disagree.

It doesn't matter. Hey, if Mayorga gets knocked out by a standing Thomas, feel free to talk crap.

 

You need to stop posting here. Permanently. Until you get some semblance of rationality, log out and forget your password.

 

Or perhaps the boxer thinks, "oh ****, he's gonna break my arms and choke me out if he gets hold of me.....I better try and keep a distance."?

This is MMA, your stories of boxing are irrelevant, you are not allowed to do much at all once a clinch is initiated in boxing - hence it is an easy way out. Whereas in MMA you are not safe if you get close and don't know what to do, so it is not a '***** move'. MMA is all about fighting to your advantages...the same as in boxing, except the range of advantages is wider in MMA.

 

Come on man, we all know mma is for bitches.

***** move no. 1: Holding
***** move no. 2: Kicking a man while he's down. Even Jackie agrees with me.

"I don't like to see 'ultimate fighting,'" Chan said. "As a martial artist, I find it too violent putting them in a cage. At the end, it's not fighting anymore. That's not the martial arts. Martial arts is about respect.

"When somebody is knocked down, stop. I really respect Sugar Ray Leonard. Come on, [when a guy is down,] stop. Don't fight. That's not the spirit. When you're down, I'll grab you up. 'Are you OK? Should we continue?' That's the martial arts spirit. That's what I want."

 

Din is a fool if he thinks he's going to box with Mayorga. He'll get flattened in the first round. He better fight like a pure grappler and try to get Mayorga off his feet as soon as possible.

 

I read what Jackie Chan said some time ago. Garbage.

I come from a very traditional martial arts backround. I believe very much in the traditional teachings of martial arts, but Jackie Chan is so full of it here. He knows that he would never win a fight in MMA because his martial arts backround is largely worthless. So much superfluous movement and very, very high risk/low reward techniques. Looks good on film, terrible in a practical sense.

So, I've been a practicioner of martial arts for nearly 20 years. I'm sure we hold some of the same values very highly. But in this case, he's very, very wrong. And so are you. Join HENDO and stop posting (here).

 

What an idiot Jackie Chan is right.

I mean, why wouldn't you kick your opponent when he's down? In fact, even better, you should stomp on his head when he's unconscious. That's real bravery.

 

Yeah, you're gonna have to stop posting now. When you can start coming up with reasonable thoughts and have even a half-way open mind, then you're welcome back. Until then, bye-bye.

 

So in you're opinion Shogun Rua doesn't fight like a man because he had to wrestle Alistair Overeem to the ground to get the upper hand, even though he knocked him out 2 minutes after with ground and pound?
