Seriously? A chance to tap? What the fuck is that shit?

Pablo_the_Mex · 2010-12-14T23:50:25.000Z

So where do you draw the line? Oops sorry son didn’t mean to knock you all the way out.

The rules are pretty good as is, anything else where they tell you not to sink in subs all the way and we will have a problem.

MEXEDIT

If a fighter wants to take it upon themselves to not break a limb, that is cool. I just don’t think it should be a part of the rules.

anyone peep this yet

xX_Deus_Xx · 2010-12-15T00:44:11.000Z

imo the line should be like the whole intelligently defending yourself yanno?

anyways we’re arguing a moot point cuz i dont think i’ve ever heard of a fighter intentionally trying to break something without letting tehother guy tap. like maliciously looking to end a guys arm instead of a fight.

either way like i said, i , personally would think it would be a good idea jic. but im a stickelr for imagined “completeness” in things, even if it is currently unneeded.

Surprised nobody has kicked up a stink about Bellator signing with MTV2.
As far as I know, Spike is an MTV-related channel. Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think so.

You’re right. I just looked it up. MTV has alot of damn channels under it’s umbrella. At least with MTV2, I might see Bellator at a normal time instead of different hours of the night.

Rampage · 2010-12-15T01:33:16.000Z

Yeah, to be honest I’m hyped that it’s on MTV2. I’m almost certain I have that channel somewhere in my cable package. I didn’t get FSN or FX or ESPN8 (The Ocho!) or whatever the previous channels were that Bellator was on.

I think it will serve them well. Wonder if UFC has already told Spike that they’re breaking up or something.

Did Randy Couture just announce retirement via Twitter?

“Thanks to everybody who’s been tweeting about seeing my fights I must have missed the memo I think I’m at the end of it Yall . It’s time.”

Twitter / Randy Couture: Thanks to everybody who’s …

Only one that came to mind.

RockBogart:

Its called professional curteousy. And if someone just outright refuses to tap even though they should, then snap or nap.

Recent is example is George Soto vs Joe Louzon. Soto had the sub on and put it on Joe hard enough to make him tap, but he realized the ref didnt acknowledge fast enough and began to ease up just enough to maintain control and not cause permanent damage.

…or Matt Hughes vs Royce Gracie. He could have broken the arm and the Gracie family is known for not tapping so he let it go.

He could have tapped both physically and verbally. Good way to start the new year though…

thurst · 2010-12-15T09:22:20.000Z

i mean aoki is a dick, but dude refused to tap/quit so he got his shit snapped.

InfiniDragon · 2010-12-15T09:51:12.000Z

I like how he flipped the dude off after breaking his damn arm. Stay classy, Aoki.

Of course, he should have tapped instead of trying to look like Billy Badass, so that’s his fault.

Eddie bravo breaking down what happened in the Bocek/Hazlett fight

Pretty cool stuff…

The “Kung Fu” move he named really does match its name =D

orochizoolander · 2010-12-15T10:32:37.000Z

I don’t get why can you hit the front of someones head but not the back is is so much more harmful that there should be a distinction?
