I agree. I am a "fight-last" sort of guy, but sometimes you have no choice unless you literally run away. And I do think its a great learning experience, and almost something that can turn a boy into a man. Come to think of it, guys I know that haven't ever been in a fight do tend to be more immature....I might be on to something here.....
Another one of these threads? great. hey iron duke, remind me again why it is that bjj submissions are "h4x0rz!!1!" in a real fight?
I can answer that one; "because no one is going to actually so some stupid leg or arm bar in a REAL fight, and if they did it wouldn't work" (said in a high pitch annoying teenage voice) :rofl
Brock wasn't beating Frank Mir to a bloody mess. What fight were you watching dude?atsch And that point deduction made sense. He hit him in the back of the head more than once. Had he hit him once in the back of the head he would have got a warning, but it wasn't once. He tried to hit him there several times. Also if your upset Brock was winning the fight and was forced to tap, guess what? It's MMA. Mir pulled off a slick sub and that's his game. And you say there's only one sweet science? Dude MMA has NOTHING to do with Boxing. Nothing at all. They are 2 different sports and both have there own respective athletes. You don't like MMA? Don't watch it. You say MMA sucks? Guess what, there's PLENTY of people out there such as myself that will disagree with you. You say MMA will never revert numbers like boxing? lol the only time boxing blew away MMA was Oscar vs Floyd. Other than that MMA does just as good if not better sometimes. UFC is a GREAT company that knows how to MARKET there product. Boxing lately is putting big fights together because the UFC every month is marketing a must see fight and they sell out there venues where ever they go. Jones vs Trinidad was the first boxing match I ever seen who's PPV numbers did better than there ticket sales:think So what are you talking about? This isn't boxing dude, stop comparing the 2 in status cause your not making any sense to me at all. MMA fighters have there own comfort level just as boxers do. But since you wanna compare the 2 i'll tell you this, Yves Edwards, Spencer Fisher, Jens Pulver, Melvin Guillard, Anderi Arlovski and UFC Middleweight champ Anderson "Spider" Silva would give ANY elite Boxer a run for there money and probably even knock them out lol and i'm just talking about standup, not even taking them to the ground... Since we're comparing the 2

Mir would have been laying in a pool of his own blood?:rofl Do you know Mir could do permanant damage to his opponents? What makes you think Mir would have been laying in a pool of his own blood if he tapped Tank out and made him his *****? Same thing with Lesnar, Brock came out strong i'll give him that, but Mir made him his ***** too. And not everyone in MMA is gonna have proficient striking, or as i'm pretty sure you like to look at just the punches. Guys in MMA come from different backrounds.
I really dont have to continue this argeument, just look at the numbers. At its strongest point, MMA cant generate numbers like boxing. NOT EVEN CLOSE!!!! Theres a reason for that!! Look, I respect the athletes for their hard work, all I am saying is, its a boring sport. I dont expect everyone to agree. But I see it as a waste of time and money.
