Annoying sayings that are way over used in the ufc

[PhilMcCavity]

“Run it back”
“Clap back”
“Let’s goooo”

Am I missing any?

"Don't leave it in the hands of the judges"

Motherfucker that's not a solution, get some competent judges.

 

[mahavishnunj]

 

[HaulParris]

Lying by omission when talking about a fighter's record - "He's won 3 of his past 5" - code language for "he's on a 2-fight losing streak".

 

[Marko Polo]

“Nobody beats Adesanya four times in a row!”

 

[Arashikage4Life]

"This is the best version of ______"
-Rogan

Judges are appointed by the commission though. Not the org.

 

[HuskySamoan]

Judges are appointed by the commission though. Not the org.

Yes I know, but I feel like the UFC could push for a higher standard of qualifications or experience from judges nonetheless. It isn't like the UFC has no pull with commissions either.

 

[Davidjacksonjones]

The term GOAT definitely

Gets over used so much it loses its meaning

 

[KillerIsBack V2]

Judges are appointed by the commission though. Not the org.

That’s not an excuse.
The commission should and can be more competent.
Also, commissions are not god, if enough promoters complain and involve good lawyers, they can make them more strict on judge qualifications.

 

[Sweater of AV]

“Where the best fight the best three times a year”
“We’ll see how this thing plays out”
“GOAT”
“He didn’t want the fight”
“Don’t blink”

Even with competent judges, the 10pt must scoring system makes no sense for MMA. A 10-9 round can be 50 punches more or 1 punch more. It doesn't accurately depict what happened in the round.

 

[OldBoy91]

Any of "X is a savage/gangster/dog"

Or "he's got that dog in him"

I know they are supposed to be compliments but they sound cringey as fuck and I don't think they are terms people involved with a professional sports organisation should be calling their athletes.

 

[NicholasJBasile]

As a wrestler, almost nothing is more cringe to me than "takedown accuracy" in MMA commentary. The UFC has even gotten fucking DC using that statistic (if you can even call it that). To clarify, takedowns are not "accurate" per se -- there isn't precision in takedowns so much as other intangibles. Calling takedown attempts "accurate" is the equivelant of calling a choke explosive or a parry powerful. You will never hear "takedown accuracy" in the world of wrestling (I'm not a judo guy, but you probably won't see it there either). If I'm wrong, I apologize for my stupid fucking rant.

I think they have but I wouldn't put it past the Nevada Athletic Commission to just say "we'll take it under advisement" since the UFC answers to them, not the other way around.

That's been a problem in boxing for ages as well. Fights are hard to score because it's not entirely objective. Even trying to base it off damage as the main criteria leads to a bevy of issues, visible damage can be superficial and significant damage can go unseen..that's a problem.

Try telling the commission that though. The UFC has been trying for 20+ years.

"Styles make fights"...Yeah so just give us another of these "classic" wrestler vs striker matches, so we can see one guy lay and pray, right?

"Conor wants to fight (insert number) times this year"...Conor wants to do many things apparently. Doesn't do a whole lot of them when it's fight-related, though, but go on...

"(Insert fighter name) doesn't want to fight"...No, he wants a better fucking contract.
