MMA fighter almost kills opponent then Pokemon Go victory dance

Indeed, I'd say amateur boxing up to light heavy is one of the very best sports to watch. Television coverage of it often lets it down. Judo from kids up to veterans of all weight classes is also a great watch but to get something out of it you have to understand it a bit I think. or it might just look like one guy trying to pull the other's pants off.

Ive done a good few sports and some at a good level, but NOTHING gets me like watching boxing. Especially amateur boxing as it's clean and technical.
Im literally bobbing my head around like an idiot even if Im on my own in public like.

Didnt think it would get me that much especially as I started late.

I know it has been around long, I don't understand why someone would want to participate or watch in people beating others almost to death, it shouldn't even be allowed

Because they don't beat each other almost to death. 99.9% of professional MMA fights never come close to that.

Many who get injuries and there is death cases too, should be banned

Why do people do this for sports? Do they enjoy causing eachother pain or possibly death? Go play baseball or football or soccer if you want to compete in sports, not a sport where you beat the other to almost death

Brutality
Animality
Fatality

Fight!

Incredibly disrespectful in a sport where people are attempting to seriously injure each other. I hope he gets his arm snapped in his next fight.

Celebrating is disrespectful? LOL since when?

[Orange Joe]

Damn that celebration is funny but does not fit here. Yeah lack of respect clearly.

How? please explain.

[Orange Joe]

Internet Tough Guys abounds.

Boxing and MMA both share a common thread; when you get in the ring, you've gotta have bad intentions.

Both fighters know this, train for it, live for it, and potentially die for it; the better man/woman wins.

As for why, it's different for each individual; some do it because they want fame and wealth, while others want to push their bodies to the limit.

Some do it because that's the only life they've known; look up Nick Diaz sometime.

[Orange Joe]

whats your weight ?

Look either your going to be a internet tough guy and threaten me, or just drop the stupid act.

Meanwhile how about you explain why it's disrespectful to celebrate winning.

[zephid]

Many who get injuries

The same can be said for Football, Hockey, American Football, baseball, basketball, skiing, snowboarding, boxing, etc etc. Hell even cheerleading can lead to injuries.

there is death cases too, should be banned

Yes there have been some deaths directly linked to injuries sustained during a fight, but it's really, really rare. Most MMA deaths occur during unsanctioned fights.

At the end of the day MMA fighters are adults and they knew about the risks when they decided to pursue a career as a professional MMA fighter.

[Orange Joe]

DUDE, i need your weight to explain. Really

ok I'll play along.

Last I checked about 270.

[dejec1989]

damn that sound at just before two seconds when you can see the knee hit the forehead.......

[Orange Joe]

Thats an Hyperball right there mate

Not getting this really? I get I'm a big guy and need a "bigger" ball. but this doesn't explain to me what I asked.


.... were you trying to make a funny?(saying he needed a bigger ball for the fighter he beat)

Can someone explain to me why the NFL is so criticized for head injuries, meanwhile MMA has shit like this and not a fucking peep?

[Rennadrel]

I admit, when I saw the headline I laughed out loud, but that kick looks brutal. Just crushed too, the guy is lucky more of his face wasn't destroyed.

Mainly because the NFL was actively trying to cover up the issue. Also NFL has been around a lot longer and the effect can be seen. MMA hasn't so we haven't really seen long term effects yet.

You sign a waiver for one of them.

The other one does its best to silence any critics stating head injuries even exist.

Athletic commissions governing MMA events issue things called medical suspensions. When a player sustains a head injury, or even sustains a number of head hits without any obvious injury, they're banned from physical activity for months at a time. Even fighters who go through fights pretty much unscathed usually get a 14-21 day suspension where they're not to participate in any activity with contact.

It would be equivalent to every player who gets rocked on a play in the NFL being out for a few games to an entire season.

Just curious Poly, but what was your final record when you gave up fighting?

because its more important then recreational sports since it actually has direct confrontation as the central element.

although strikes like the above are frowned upon as the purpose of these longer safe fights is to focus on the martial skill and not victory while not having the restrictions of the standard boxing ring.
we have legs for more then legwork as venom showed all too well.
