Low IQ moments

[Bearknuckle]

I think kelvin gastelum just gave us another low iq moment lol

 

[Reydereyes]

Lmao at Kelvin barely getting out of a bad position and sub attempt just to voluntarily go back to the same position <Lmaoo>

It reminded me of Fedor in the Werdum fight.

It reminded me of Fedor in the Werdum fight.

Exactly what I thought. Is it stupidity or ego? I'd say a combination of both

It was vs Nate Marquardt. Glad Nate capitalized on that. Arrogant move by Paul.
Second fuck up was vs Dan Miller. Paul won that fight anyway, but still could’ve paid for his low iq move.

thanks dude. I remember both moments clearly but couldn’t place who was in which fight.

yeah- that Nate Marquardt situation was satisfying, Palhares was really not showing Nate respect and it was hilarious watching Nate pound his face for it.

jorge gurgel's entire career.

Never realized how short that punch was. I guess you shouldn't run into the first of a 240 pound dude. A low IQ moment for sure.

 

[Sticko]

he over extended, but he was totally exhausted and there's no way anyone could have predicted an elbow to come from that angle. this is not low fight iq.

He was winning the fight though iirc. No reason to press forward like that with 2 seconds left.

 

[McSpikes]

Souhkhamat vs Omalley tops all of them.

I came here to say this. I'm glad ita not forgotten

 

[Pierced7681]

I still don’t understand what Werdum was doing here. Why did he charge in flailing arm punches?

 

[Paynebringer]

Why would you slam yourself into a tighter choke? Not much options but better you wall him against the cage and limit his ability to arch & wrench the neck instead of giving him ease and position comfort where the choke is strongest on his back.

 

[ThereIsNoSpoon]

Weidman’s spin kick because he was hurting Rockhold to the body with his kicks, gaining momentum and likely would have made Rockhold wilt not much later.

Instead, he took an incredible, career altering beating that took away his confidence and his ability to absorb damage.

From an undefeated champion that beat Silva twice, Machida and Vitor, to damage goods with one awful decision.

 

[Poser Caust]

Has there ever been a fighter so stupid that the ref would have grounds to stop the fight for "not intelligently defending himself" as soon as the opening bell rings ?

 

[TrueFightFan]

He had an excuse, the ref kept telling him not to hit the back of the head so he switched tactics.

No. He clearly states in a later interview that he wanted to be the first man to submit Mir. Had he just hit him a couple of more times, the ref would have stopped the fight.

 

[Rear Naked Toke]

Rousimar is the GOAT

I was just about to post this but figured I should scroll through to see if anyone already had it. Either way, I just can't believe it wasn't on the first page. Paul Harris is a bit looney.

 

[campbecc]

A really common one is when a fighter has his opponent really hurt but instead of keep hitting them in stand up goes for a takedown allowing them to recover.

 

[TheNinja]

He had an excuse, the ref kept telling him not to hit the back of the head so he switched tactics.

That's what I was going to say. He was pounding him out but was told (incorrectly IMO, those shots weren't really the back of the head, we've seen much worse) and then ooops, a half conscious Frank Mir is still a VERY dangerous submission guy.
