Fake Glove Touch Fails Miserably.....

[knoxville80]

Looks a lot like Cro Cop vs Fujita

Sparring habit. It makes sense to those who train.

Fighters need to act like they are in a fight, not sparring. It looks stupid as hell when guys are smiling and congratulating each other when they land a good punch.

No.

Yes.

lol, Conor always puts his hand out like that to measure the distance. Are you serious?

 

[barillas]

Let's be honest. Everyone understands the touching of gloves immediately before the fight begins, but doing it again 5 seconds later makes no sense. It never made sense.

I made a thread questioning that some months ago and was blatantly called uneducated, savage and disrespectful.

Sure bro.

 

[barillas]

Conor asked him if he wanted to touch gloves and he shook his head

He still was polite enough to kick the guy in his armpit when he could easily have just KOed him with that kick in the head hehe

Sure bro.

Oh look, it's McGregor fake touching gloves with Butchinger, Mendes and Aldo.

Right?
Gtfo.

Colton Smith vs another TUF

Fake tap, shoots double.

I used to like the glove touch but really its stupid when you think about it. You shake hand before and after the fight why would you do it during.

This is 100% true.

But since it's there (apparently to stay) as extra display of sportsmanship, I just appreciate it and even notice its absence.

Never trust those Armenians...

Also not MMA or at beginning of the fight, but Floyd KO'd Ortiz pretty dirty

Ya I always hated that Floyd KO. Dirty as hell.

Shitty sportsmanship is more acceptable in Thai Boxing? What's the reasoning for that. Seems like it would be pretty universal that people would be against cheap moves like that.

Have you seen Many Thai Boxing fights? Lots of dirty tactics employed so it really doesnt stick out as that bad (I'm talking about fights in Thailand). More like trying to push the boundaries on whats legal. I suppose to some (westerners) it may seem like shitty sportsmanship but its just a part of the game really.

No I have not seen many. Although I see what you are saying. I was thinking more like why would just the difference in style change anything but you are saying it is as much to do with where it is at and the history of what is more common.

I can see Thailand fights being closer to underground fighting than unified rules. I get it now. Appreciate the clarification.
