MMA

Whilst I agree with the wider point (the discipline and tribe should round bullies into controlled aggression) I think it’s down to the gym and its culture. I box in an MMA gym and they have a no nobhead rule which is well policed, everyone’s sound really. I really can’t stand arrogance in any fighting discipline, UFC is edging the way of boxing which saddens me (which leads into your wider point).

Lovely little stealth flex dropped in there, the master at work
 

I’m a massive MMA fan, and a massive boxing fan. I’d say I enjoy boxing a little more, especially when it’s a huge fight. But the fans the two sports attract are very similar. I’ve been to 4 live UFC events, and probably over 20 boxing events. And although I’ve been to more boxing events, the crowds at boxing are utter **** heads.

Yes, you are quite right! I think I was just annoyed watching another Paddy Pimblett video..

My daughter does Jui Jitsu and theres not a chance in hell her Sensei would let anyone in like that! So yes, agree. Depends on the club! ;)

Oh defo, Mr The Baddy winds me up too. Was moaning about to a mate on that basis, just be sound, set a good example.

Well in your girl getting into such a good discipline. Dad done well.

Kicking someone in the face, butting them and smashing an elbow into their teeth is a technical sport.

All those feller's fighting in the Eagle and Child and The Crown years ago didn't realise they were actually mixed martial arts athletes rather than pissed thugs.

Every day's a school day.

two of those three things arent legal, so you are correct, kicking someone in the face and butting them isnt a technical sport

how about using someones own weight against them to get them in a position to get them to the ground and then making them go to sleep using their own arm to cut off the blood supply, all whilst positioning your own body in such a way that you are in total control and cant be moved

No point explaining any of this to Davek. he lives in his own imaginary world and his entire online persona is basically him having comically uninformed and bad takes on just about every subject imaginable.
