What a fight, though. Five rounds of Silva getting schooled.
Chael had it won dammit. Argh 1st year jitz man. It’s almost a work
“A fighter or competitive athlete is never 100%, so I don’t know why they whine about their injuries.”
There’s a huge difference between 95% and 70% though. But it’s tricky, you want to tell the truth without been seen as making excuses.
Once the fight starts pain goes away until the fight ends :)
disgraceful and unchristian sport! close to the thrill of roman days...
What are you talking about. Several of the fighters thanked G-d and their opponent. go away
MMA is like a ballet, except there’s no music, no choreography and the dancers hit each other.
We’ll have to see if Silva can work up the courage for a rematch...
I’m so let down...man
yeah, yeah...thank God for allowing me to beat the crap out of my bother for the blood lust of millions of people.
Sorry, but it is a disgrace to allow men to beat each other like that. Part of the culture of hate and sex...
For me these events are research and developement to see what works and what doesn't.
MMA is a valuable self defense tool for anyone but especially for those in law enforcement, the armed forces and security.
You are pretty dumb.
Psalm 144:1
Thanks....nice try but just an excuse. You and others pay to keep the blood sport alive and it is another step towards a totally immoral society. You can think of all the lame excuses you want but it is not reality. Reality is that we all have, most all, a darkside that loves to see two grown men pummmel the crap out of each other! I noticed that when I used to enjoy them..just darkness being feed. You would not want to do that in the cage to your brother, best friend or priest...why enjoy others doing it and encourage it?
U missed the part where silva bowed at the feet of Sonnen ar the fight’s end.
Would u ban high school wrestling too, or does that not offend your sensitive sensibilities enough?
Amatuer boxing and wrestling and many other martial arts matches where the fighters are protected are great. You are not going to paint me into a mamby pamby box!
This is called "projection".
You are projecting your views onto others, that is, you think that because you see things this way that everyone else MUST also, when they DON'T.
It is a classic liberal response.
Not calling you a liberal, just saying this is what liberals do so stop doing it.
"You would not want to do that in the cage to your brother, best friend or priest"
Ahem, I have sparred with my Brother and my best friend is an instructor and he has put the hurt on me many times and it was a privilege.
I could go on but I highly doubt you can see past your own nose.
I doubt you see beyond your own ass! Hehe..you asked for that. Well, if you are really hurting each other sparring then that is not cool. Those guys in the “cage” are pounding unmercifully on each other and that is pretty bad. Okay for a fight where you are standing for right, but not for money and the bloodlust of people like yourself. It is not projection...I simply saw my dark side loving it and I know it is no different for anyone else because these guys are really pummeling on each other. There is a lot of anger and rage in many of those guys and you are just feeding right into it.
You have no idea what I am feeding into.
Sure some of these guys have bad attitude but most display great sportsmanship and respect for each other.
"...I simply saw my dark side loving it and I know it is no different for anyone"
Projection 101.
Some things like enjoying violence do actually apply to everyone. Projection is so if it does not apply and is imagination. It is not imagination to see that it is bad for anyones spirit to enjoy two grown men beat the tar out of each other for money. Just low grade stuff. Sorry if you take offense to that; maybe you should consider it rather than getting irritated at me for being honest.
I think you are thinking, “wow, I don’t know how that woman turned out a young man with so much commonsense!” Something like that...
