That is because those guys at the bar are dumb drunks that have no clue how to fight. An actual trained mixed martial artist would beat down every bouncer in town with ease.
Agreed.
And wow, Nick Diaz may have entered the douche-bag hall of fame by no-showing an event he was going to donate winnings from to charity. That is just......WTF. | |

Posted: 5/13/2012 3:09:33 PM | | With all of the info on head injuries I can not imagine supporting these brutal sports. I have already decided not to let my son play football and I am having second thoughts about hockey. Too bad really but where are all these guys going to be in 10 - 20 years? | |

Posted: 5/13/2012 7:30:26 PM | no-gi BJJ match with Braulio Estima
AKA scared of getting his butt handed to him in a BJJ match by Braulio Estima because it doesn't involve kicking and punching. LOL | |

Posted: 5/14/2012 5:21:08 AM | It's upto Diaz I suppose.
He's a pretty good fighter, no-one can take that away from him, regardless of his conduct. Of course, if he continues to act unprofessionally (and uncharitably) there may not be many folks out there who care how good a fighter he is, as no organisation is going to give him fights and the public will just forget about him in time.
Maybe he's made enough money now and just needs to fade back into obscurity - he never really seemed comfortable with the publicity and obligations that come with being a high-profile professional athlete anyway.
------
In terms of MMA-related head injuries and the long-term medical consequences - it's a combat sport.
Efforts can be made to minimise they long-term damage caused, but fighting (by it's very nature) involves inflicting damage on each other, so there's always going to be a risk of personal injury. Some careers are just more dangerous than others. If MMA is what a person loves and wants to pursue as a career, then they are every bit as entitled to do so as a Police officer carrying a gun or a Fireman entering a burning building. As long as reasonable measures have been taken to minimise these risks, then I don't see a problem with people using their bodies recklessly (as long as they fully understand and accept the risks) - otherwise, by extension, you'd have to ban a number of other potentially hazardous sports and recreational too (possibly walking out your front door and crossing the street too!).
Whether young children should be allowed to practice MMA is another argument. Much of MMA is derived from other long-established Traditional Martial Arts and competitive sports, so perhaps younger kids can focus on the specific sports and martial arts at semi-contact level until they are adult age and able to sign a disclaimer and make their own decision about their personal safety (like you do when you go parachuting for a hobby) practicing MMA at full-contact level. | |

Posted: 5/14/2012 4:39:44 PM | | these arguments about who is more 'bad-azz' MMA fighters or street fighters or bar fighters remind me of 5 year old boys arguing about whose dad is tougher..LMAO..who cares? most with a weapon (gun especially, but also a good knife or club /stick fighter) could take any of them down..so the 'toughness' depends on 'rules' being enforced | |

Posted: 5/20/2012 8:40:13 PM | This was actually what Nick had posted on Facebook regarding why he didn't fight...
"Promoter fails to donate the money to charity as agreed. (shady) Promoter changes rules for weigh ins to accommodate fellow Brazilian
Match ain't happening" | |

Posted: 5/21/2012 9:14:16 AM | | Anybody else think Jones vs Henderson is stupid? At this point Dana White no longer has the right to call out boxing for making Mayweather/Pac Man fights in which both are obviously going to win. Hes doing the same thing with Jones. "Clearing out the division" is not a good reason, when you can never clear out a division, as new fighters will always be comming in. | |

What makes you think that people who carry knives or sticks are good fighters? | |

Maybe Henderson has upped his TRT dose and thinks this will spell the difference?He couldn't beat Anderson,doubt he can even come close .... | |

Posted: 5/22/2012 7:19:09 AM | | The only way Henderson wins is if Jones makes a mistake, then Jones would quickly regain the title back, unless Henderson absolutley dominates Jones. I cant hate on a fighter for being so dominant, but unless they start getting intresting fights underneath the main event I'm probly not gonna bother. At least the Welterweight division is finally starting to heat up. GSP is gonna have some good competition when he returns. | |

Would getting drunk and smashing up your Bentley be considered a mistake? | |

If you go watch MMA I think you would find a greater percentage of fit people that enjoy the fights.Many participated in boxing,martial arts or wrestling at some time. | |

If you have nothing positive to add to this thread, then get out of it and stop the trolling.
Last time I checked, it was against forum rules. | |

Posted: 5/26/2012 1:47:09 PM | | Their all real fighting, I started off boxing young in my early teenage years, then at 18 got into training for some MMA and been doing it for 12 years. Boxing is more hand and eye cordination fighting, MMA is more tactical fighting. Your brain takes alot more abuse in boxing MMA your body takes alot more of the abuse. | |

Posted: 5/31/2012 11:33:05 AM | boxing is just one aspect of fighting, with limted means of defending ones self, mma encompasses all aspects of fighting
however it is still a sport and sports have rules, still its a far safer and far more exciting sport than boxing will ever be. | |
