The New MMA Thread

Yeah I meant specifically for some caveman weightlifter who can only drop down and hang onto your fucking legs when he gets hurt because his standup game is ass. We've seen too many of them escape trouble like that, trouble that they put themselves in by not being a complete MMA fighter.

Maybe knees to the head of an opponent who is on his knees, but not one who is fully laid out on the ground? Might bring in some fuzzy areas, though.....

Has a Mike Nichols aura about him.

Edit: Oh crap... The dude's gonna die. Melvin Guillard's his training partner.

i don´t care that much if they bring back soccer-kicks and stomps or not.
but knees on the ground imo, is necessary for dynamic and exciting MMA.
i´ll trade elbows on the ground for knees any day!
especially, like someone said above, they shouldn´t be as safe as they are while shooting/struggling for a takedown imo.
i wouldn´t mind seeing someone get a knee to the face after a failed takedown, when the opponent stuffs it.


aaaand Fight Night coming up!
i´m excited for quite a few fights on that card.
should be a good event!

Neer's taking Sherks place against Tibau due to a shoulder injury.

Agreed, I could easily see someone's head up against the cage getting stomped on bringing in a ton of bad publicity. But the knees on the ground have GOT to make it in. And as far as banning inside leg kicks goes, maybe just use instant replay while the dude is going OMG MY BALLS! to judge whether or not to take a point. It's pretty blatantly obvious that Gonzaga kicked him straight in the dick, lol.
