Spinning Sh*t in MMA Appreciation thread. (GIF)

i still don't know how AS didn't get DQ'd for that knee

Well to start with, it's totally legal to knee someone in the chest.

Sherdog still not showing enough love for the madman that was harold howard

Almost looks like an act of concern until you see E trying to lock up a choke on top of the KO. Poor Mo.

i watched a mate ko a bloke with 1 punch and as he fell he caught him and gently laid him him down... with a hand under his head... onto the ground so as not to cause any more damage... was almost chivalrous.

It was extremely close to his head, but actually connected to his chest, which is legal.

I believe.

It's almost like he wants to Holly Holm him... but eats spinning shit instead

I thought of Urijah-Mike Brown first fight:

Inb4 “Diaz 1,2,5” / “Condit ran”

Holy shit!

There are still people that think Silva landed the knee/thigh to Chael's face?

Just goes to show you can't cure retard.

The slow-mo gif in this very thread it's clear as day there is no impact to Chael's face; the striking point of Silva's knee lands on Chael's chest, from the angle of his leg it wouldn't even be possible for the thigh to impact his face.

No MMA ref is going to call a knee to the chest where the thigh made contact with the head a leg strike to the head of a downed opponent. It was a clean strike.

Yeah. I never really looked at it closely, just a few times after the fight and it looked like the thigh struck his head. Either way it doesnt matter.

Anyone is a damn fool who fights or spars where spinning Shit is allowed, anyone can be caught and that's brain damage in a Jar

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

When spinning shit goes ???:

How bout a nice combination of the two?

Holy shit!

Thigh did hit face. The point most people make is that that wasn't the knee and wasn't damaging, or not nearly as damaging as the knee strike itself, which was completely legal.

The trouble with that though is giving refs more ability to judge things in grey, and that leads to shit like Big John clearly hearing Bobby Green kick Krause in the cup, but deciding it shouldn't have been called a groin shot (even after 2 previous groin shots, even though cups are solid and a shot anywhere reverberates through the whole thing) because it didn't look like it should have affected things too much.

I think Ol Cheaty Chael wanted a way out of the fight, then turned around and argued that Silva threw an illegal strike because HE wanted out of the fight.

I always wondered why Chael didnt scramble to his feet but sat there instead
