    What in JJJ did the Gracies change to create BJJ?

    I found this thread fascinating and there's only one thing that is missing. What do you suppose they call BJJ in Brazil?

    Usyk vs Joshua 2 August 20th

    Yeah but was it the same Ruiz? I see people making such comparisons all the time. For example Fury didn't get hurt by Wlad at all and AJ nearly got finished but it wasn't the same guy. Against AJ Wlad knew it was his last fight or close to it and had whipped himself into shape for one last...

    Dillian Whyte claims Tyson Fury KO was illegal and calls for rematch

    I love when people talk nonsense after a fight like Wilder did. It doesn't seem like Whytes head hit the canvas but if we assume what he's saying is accurate then that means he was so rocked by the uppercut that he didn't have his wits about him enough to tuck his chin so that he didn't hit his...

    Fury vs Whyte

    I'm not sure I believe his retirement talk. It seems like a good way to get people to buy a fight which otherwise isn't that compelling.

    Kell Brook vs Amir Khan

    Frazer Clarke's opponent Jake Darnell was hoping to be at the AO Arena in Manchester in the seats, he ended up with the closest view of the action possible. In an interview with IFL TV earlier this week, Darnell said: "I was at the [Amir Khan vs Kell Brook] public workout on Wednesday, asked my...

    If Prime Naseem Hamed was in the UFC, he would be undefeated GOAT!

    It's always a bit lazy when people say because Naz lost to Barrera he was never any good. You can see in that fight there is nowhere near the usual spring in his step/movement and, whilst Barrera fought a perfect fight in always being in range and never letting him setup his big shots it can't...

    Was Brazilian Jiu Jitsu a mistake? Deconstructing BJJ

    Bjj isn't the only art with submissions in... I know the Gracie infomercial was effective but I can't quite believe it was that effective. People seem stunned when they encounter similar moves in other grappling arts and yet the human body hasn't change much over time. There are only so many...

    Was Brazilian Jiu Jitsu a mistake? Deconstructing BJJ

    Picked it up for a few weeks? UFC 1 was 11th of November 1993, UFC 5 was April 7th 1995. Also Ken wrestled when he was younger, had trained in Japan BEFORE Pancrase (the japanese pro wrestling initiations/training involved real/submission wrestling) and Ken has openly admitted in recent years...

    Was Brazilian Jiu Jitsu a mistake? Deconstructing BJJ

    That's an understament re passivity. His whole game plan was not to lose. Yes Coleman would wreck Royce but he and Shamrock are a little bit erm enhanced and it shows. Wheres as Royce sack of skin Gracie only did steroids when he was well over the hill :p

    Was Brazilian Jiu Jitsu a mistake? Deconstructing BJJ

    As a result one one punch landed in overtime. Other than that nothing happened. Feel free to sit through the full 30 minute ordeal to find anything else of note...

    Was Brazilian Jiu Jitsu a mistake? Deconstructing BJJ

    Oleg won UFC 6 and Shamrock did next to nothing in Royces guard despite having a significant weight advantage.

    News Former chief adviser to Prime Minister Boris Johnson advises Nate Diaz not to sign new UFC deal

    This just goes to show how unfair/exploitative the UFC contracts are. If this is legal then the law is wrong. There's literally no way out of these...

    PBP Bellator 267: Lima vs. MVP 2, Fri. 10/1, 1 PM ET/10 AM PT PBP Discussion Thread

    The only laying and praying was from MVP on bottom. He looked terrified whenever it was on the ground. That's the way to beat him...

    Brock is not afraid of punches(Myth debunked)

    In the Couture fight I actually thought Randy was doing well, particularly in the wrestling exchanges. If it wasn't for Brocks massive size advantage he would've struggled to win that fight.

    What's Wilders problem?

    and why do people still support him? Personally I felt it was pretty obvious that, towards the end of the first fight, Tyson Fury worked out that Wilder couldn't fight going backwards. He built a gameplan around that in the second fight and Wilder had no answer. Yet online I see a lot of...

    The problem with average UFC Sherdogger analysis

    Have absolutely no training whatsoever and have no idea what the hell they're talking about/looking at The above is spot on however it's not just sherdog where the retards are out in force it's virtually everywhere online. I saw a guy the other day saying he could be a fighter but he already...

    Miesha CupTate

    I was interested to see her return, haven't seen the fight yet, but not sure about her opponent. Wasn't it said before the fight that it was her last fight? I always viewed it as a test to see if she could still do it and, depending how that went, she might go on from there.

    Media Stephen A. Smith Destroys Conor McGregor In His Recent Takes

    I never understand this argument that so and so would get beaten up by fighter x, or you wouldn't say that to his face. Since when did whether or not someone could kick your ass determine what was right, true or insane? Following that logic no fan can EVER have an opinion on any sport since by...
