Keeping my overhead low, and my understand high
That's why I hate those kicks...that's why everyone hates those kicks.

If we care about the athlete's health that is a little too dangerous to me. You can't tap out before you knee is all torn up like you could with an armbar..

I know there are ways to defend it, but I just don't like seeing a guy go out like that.

Apparently, he stood up and fought the last round.



Heel hooks are worse.

Agreed. I'll always argue that those kicks should be limited to self defense in street fights. The risk/reward is so low with them because they aren't much of an indication of a skill the way say a heel hook is.

:mjlol: At Connor mcegeror being popular. I went to a legit irish bar tonight, owner from Ireland and all the bartenders I asked them about the notorious and they had no clue. They asked if it was ppv I said no and then they said I guess will put it on.
This isn't no surprise, Dana always tells us WHO is the biggest star in the history of UFC instead of letting them develop naturally.

Anybody gonna watch the Shields fight?

:mjlol: Damn how is WSOF still in business? Anyway, UFC 186 is set
  • Champ T.J. Dillashaw vs. Renan Barao – for UFC bantamweight title
  • Rory MacDonald vs. Hector Lombard
  • Quinton Jackson vs. Fabio Maldonado
  • Michael Bisping vs. C.B. Dollaway
  • Patrick Cote vs. Joe Riggs
  • Olivier Aubin-Mercier vs. David Michaud
  • Jessica Rakoczy vs. Valerie Letourneau

Kind of ehh card. Rampage and Maldonado should be a fun banger. Everything else I'm not interested in

Didn't even get notified by the UFC about the change to fighting Cowboy.


What kind of company is Dana running :what:

Benson has always been an exciting fighter and just an overall cool dude to me. I really don't get the hate that he gets, and yeah its bullshyt that he had to find out that way.

Ok card but weirdly im excited to see Jessica Rakoczy back. If she went down in weight class I really think shes a problem I think she would beat Jedrzejczyk. Carla im not sure about.
