xtreme coture beats gracie once again :)
fuck grey
close fight but Diaz edged it 29-28.
yea nate quarry
but forrest was not KOed he was mentally broken he had nothing to offer he is too slow and predictible to me it was a missmatch lol
nah, im thinkin more like anderson silva tko griffen. it was a jab, not a straight. I know a jab is usually fallowed my a another jab then a straight like rich franklin done to…. forgot his name.. damn.
youre confusing jabs and straight punshes
a jab by definition is not a knock out punch its a set up punch
youre thinking about the diaz robby lawler fight? seth petrezelly Kimbo? or even ray sefo semmy shilt? anyway those are straight punches not jabs
a little jab can also knock you out. .there are countless fights that show short, slow jabs that have ended a fight instantly, knocking out there opponent.
he really trys to punk everybody….they both do…what a bitch they both do….nick diaz would give this white piece of shit the beating of his life and call him a bitch the whole time hes doing it
ra ra ra right hook
unfortunately marketing is as important as talent
in all aspects of life
True.
But the important word to use is “marketing”.
Many people thought Ronaldinho was the best footballer in the world. He simply wasn’t. He was great at marketing himself, though. The exact same applies to Pele.
Dumbest thing i’ve read today, the judges do NOT like mocking. It’s part of the reason both Nick and Nate get screwed in decisions, it’s really nothing more than a natural reaction to being in a fight along with supreme confidence. There’s no way in hell they do it to score points in the judges eyes
Maynard won clearly. It should not even been a split decision
Nate Diaz won…fuck this bullshit..fuck Joe Rogan
Does not sound like a winning interview at all…..
in the judges subconscious mind they may give more points to diaz for octagon control or agressiveness because of the taunting.
yes it can also be used to bait your opponent to be more aggressive which might play into your game somehow. thats true.
you would be surprised how many judges are as impressionable and stupid as fans, and are psychologically influenced by mocking fighters.
personally i despise it, its a weasily way to try to influence fans and judges.
you are missing the point.
part of the reason ali was considered great was because of his mocking.
people seem to think that the fighter doing the mocking is somehow better.
people are dumb. and unfortunately a lot of judges are dumb like that.
so its a strategy some fighters use to give them an edge in the scoring.
a litle jab can get yu a black eye
a big one on a chin wont leave a mark to your face but on your brain
redefining effective striking is necessary in mma
Ali was great, he could afford to do it… Diaz, not so much
Maynard clearly won… Diaz fan, like Nate himself, are crybabies
@signboyy so what if maynard dropped diaz in the round that diaz was winning? would the round be a draw because diaz was taunting him a lot?
@signboyy also the reason is more along the lines of baiting the other opponent into getting upset and maybe getting a little wild opening up their guard for some counters etc.
@signboyy sorry signboy but taunting has nothing to do with how MMA bouts are scored. i havent heard that about boxing either…. i got no clue where you heard that from. but its not true.
