ESPN's 50 Reasons To Love MMA

[riitzni]

For the way she throws pro male fighters, its not shocking to see her with shoulders like that. And least it doesn't look like Chyna's.

I know it, it's just funny that ordinarily it would be a turn off but in her case, it's somehow a positive.

And I did forget to mention that the line about Ben Askren was the best in the whole list. Amazing bit of truth. Would add it to my sig if I had the room.

I'm not going to break the forum copyright rules, but it's an interesting read...

Good call by you, I like that.

Chael Sonnen didn't make the list. That's a crime.

The Diaz bros made the list. Another crime.

Good call by ESPN, actually.

Sonnen is a gimmick.
The Diaz Bros are real.

shit list imo

kinda geared towards the casuals

"Bro Culture"? That's supposed to be a reason to love MMA? I accept that bros are part the sport, but I still absolutely hate it.

not sure why but this pic is pretty attractive

it might make me a chauvanist, but I enjoy watching Ronda fight. She's undeniably hot. I like her banter.

Best ESPN MMA article

this was a gem: "Don

 

[Hatredcopter]

Lol Ronda is on a top 50 list of why to watch MMA?

Oh really?

I like the fact that ESPN and SI.com (much better than espn imo) have been stepping up their coverage on MMA but that article stunk!! It had alot of the same,stupid, and tired stereotypes that people have been saying for years(tattoos,bro culture,tons of references to streetfighting). They need to hire some more MMA insiders.

I agree with both of those. Sonnen should have been mentioned in the fighters talk, but then have to fight category.

I thought that was a good article.

One of my favorite quotes:

13. Flyweights: If you don't like the idea of two 125-pound fighters flying around like electrons, then you don't like verbs. These are action men.

I guess it was meant to be a comical list but I hated a lot of them.
