Thanks. I think it takes a lot of work and thought to make a decent top ten post. I tried and failed. I liked yours though.

when Condit fight Nick Diaz, that points the evolution when everyone realizes that you can win a fight being a pussy, running and using baby low kicks

Yea, 209 bi**h

thanks man, it's silly that a good thread can sometimes just get drowned by bad threads about the same thing over and over. This is an original idea, and who wants to start another thread about silva's chin or a rematch with Weidman.

MMA all leads to this. This is the end. MMA can never get any more technical nor brutal as this

People still post this .gif? It was funny once get over it.

Well, you nailed it. Maybe the 10 gif requirement is killing it. Too long of posts. 5 Might have been better.

These are great, esp. the Tito/Shamrock one. Man, Frank's cardio was insane! Tito has said that this fight is the fight that made him change the way he trains and thinks about cardio. Def. a history changing fight!!!

10 is too much, I don't have patience for that

The thing about Tito's cardio is that it only ever looked great against Shamrock. He gassed horrifically against Rashad, Griffin in their first fight, and Hamill. The myth Tito loved to put out their about his training being such that his cardio was the best in the fight game was just that.

take jones out and add Anderson or GSP and i fully agree. Jones hasnt been taken down, being on his back could be his weakness we dont know, anderson can be taken down and still submit ppl, as well as sprawl and brawl and the next level of striking

I'm willing to bet Jones is pretty good off his back. He had that nice flying triangle against Rampage.

Agreed. That was an amazing exchange for a 4th round.
Tito really slid into an underwhelming fighter slot.
And can't we all agree that Hammil turns every fight into a bore unless he loses in devastating fashion?

Both techniques appear to be very effective. In fact, I may rather be on the receiving end of the second example.

You know what asshole my son just saw this, thanks a lot!

What the fuck is wrong with you?

And who is going to take him down?

Keith Hackney vs. Joe Son

Evolution: Groin shot to a downed opponent is banned

MMA won't really be evolving a whole lot anymore in my opinion in terms of how fights are fought (unless somebody creates some new effective fighting discipline which really isn't likely at all). However I can see one more point of evolution for MMA coming up soon, this being the possible Rousey vs. McMann match-up which would be the first match-up in the UFC between two Olympians (and two Olympic medalists at that). This is a big deal for the sport in my opinion. It could mark the moment where most of the world class Judokas, Wrestlers and maybe even Boxers start training MMA once their Olympic careers are done.
