He's no spring chicken, Cain's been training for a long time. Wrestling is pretty hard on the joints and those small injuries from his late teens and early 20's affect how you function in your 30's. He's pretty soft, but that's not causing injuries per se.
McGregor seems like he's a pretty decent fighter who trains hard. Hearing him talk about himself is painful; it's clear that he's also a smug self-righteous jackass. I have never been interested in checking out a PPV when his face is involved.
I DO know that Irish fans respond positively to...
There have been a whole lot of great contributions so far in this thread, the one name I think of here is Tito Ortiz. He almost never uses submission grappling, and it probably the one asset of MMA that he is best at.
What is so wrong about aborting a fetus that is going to suffer developmentally, die somewhat young, and exist as a burden to those around them?
There's a lot of time and patience that must be dedicated to raising children and letting them grow, develop, and become adults. Years and years of...
If you can get your hands together behind your opponent's lower back, you don't even need to trip them. You can just push with your forehead against the chest, and pull with your arms. Once you're in a position to attempt this takedown, it's so powerful and uncomfortable that your opponent will...
I have used an arm bar in a fight but I only threatened to hyper-extend, and the guy (who sucker punched me in the mouth while we were having some beers) conceded and apologized. It probably wasn't the arm bar itself, because I elevated and dumped him on a tile floor right after the punch
Franklin would do alright because Weidman would probably stand with him. Unfortunately, Rich can't take Weidman's shots. Weidman would catch him before 2 rounds were through.
I have rolled with women, most of them were beginners. My gym offers all kinds of "kickboxing" (cardio and padwork, no sparring) classes and the females seem to prefer this to bjj. They show up for a month or two, and then they're off to the next whimsical exercise hobby lol
You're so right, I'm not too excited to watch a fast paced fight unless there is a real risk of a finish. They can't generally hold each other down in a position to secure submissions, nor can they knock each other out. So they end up bouncing power punches and head kicks off each other as they...
His ground game is so much more than that, I get the impression you haven't seen him fight much. What about him being able to take down high level wrestlers? Or his use of ground and pound in so many fights? I agree that his body has been around the block and that it holds him back. I doubt...
