[TITS]

Whatever happened to the transman?

 

[John St.Pierre]

I hate how Dana keeps trying to tie it into UFC promotions on their social media. Does anybody actually think its legit and follow it regularly or do people just like watching 15 second knock out clips on tik tok?

 

[rear naked ankle pick]

Its better than american football where obese blobs run for 3mins and then watch commercials for 10 minutes

 

[World eater]

Why can’t it be both?

 

[herpd807]

It's fucking dumb.

While I agree that slap fighting is retarded to say the least, I can't disagree with this post either.

[BEATDOWNS]

6ixdog posters be like: 'Fam. Last night's card was mad trash #UFCisDying bro that stuff was hella boring ONGggggg'


the (styll) growing sport of Power Slap, hearing the cries of the 6ixdog Serf-dem:

But hey if you're gonna complain aboot some alleged CTE, TBI, UTI, and all that #FakeNews while also beefing that dem boyz in da cage ain't throwin' enough...then that's on you,,,,my fams .

I actually get to watch this one. We on Fridays now boooiiis

 

[Elvis.]

It could be a useful tool if they use it to send out subliminal messages to the people who watch it to get up early tomorrow and get a fucking job .
It’s an embarrassment in every capacity

No you're right, it's extremely stupid and trashy. It's embarrassing when they make the commentators plug it during UFC broadcasts.

Whatever happened to the transman?

Mans got bucked by Top-10 Light-heavy weightclass competitor Austin "Turp Daddy Slim" Turpin. Maybe he was been resting, brain come back stronger dat way like when you was train biceps on Monday then hit em up again on Tuesday when they was all goodie.

timestamped at the KO cuz I know you ain't about what you subjectively refer to as filler:


Hope they get another cuz this is terrible for #Inclusivity. Don't want it to be on the decline like the UFC you get me???

"Name any other combat sport where you can't defend yourself"

There's at least 3 different styles of defending a slap that have been discovered just this year alone.

-Roll: "Be like water"
Time the slap perfectly so that you can roll with the strike without receiving a "flinching" foul for moving before the opponent makes contact. Good all around defense but tough to master. High risk, high reward.



#CoorsLight

-Tank: "Be like stone"
Brace like you're about to hit a heavy squat or deadlift when you assume the receiving position. Once the strike is about to make contact, squeeze with all your might, leaving no weak links in the chain. Works well against straight-arm power slaps, but high risk against surprise hits like no-measure slaps or fast whips due to the timing required to absorb impact so that the force distributes throughout the body (though perfect timing will FUCK the strikers hand up). Solid defensive strategy for both beginners and veterans alike.

here's a guy using the Tank defense properly and actually winning by checking the guy's slap




-Limp-Leg: "Be a man"
Combination of the Tank and Roll technique, popularized by current welter weight-class champion KO Christapher. Brace like in the Tank method, but leave the leg opposite the receiving side limp, so that your body will naturally move with impact. This greatly reduces the force transfer to the head but the optics look terrible against guys with a good follow-through. Requires a lot of drilling to execute properly. Helps to train Sean Strickland style and get the sparring rounds in for this one.

Some current and former MMA combatants utilize this technique, though it is difficult to do without a foul. Both competitors in this match seem to use this style.





TL;DR:
My opinion on the video:
