Proposal: Ban All Holloway Style Calls For A Brawl ESPECIALLY If You’re Losing.

[markantony20]

First off congrats to Moreno a really good performance on his end.

Secondly ffs we need a ban on a Max style point at the ground from now on.

You aren’t him!

First Izzy points at the ground then gets finished now Albazi calls for one like that fight was at all competitive.

Drunk thread over.

I don't mind pointing to the ground and calling for a brawl when you are losing.

I do mind pointing to the ground and calling for a brawl then immediately backing up repeatedly as you get pieced the fuck up like Albazi just did.

Israel said he was pointing to the ground to let DDP know he slipped

 

[TheMMAnalyst]

Izzy pointed to the ground claiming he slipped not that he got knocked over being tired and off-balance (which is what did happen).

He was in no way trying to pull a Holloway lol.

Israel said he was pointing to the ground to let DDP know he slipped

Hm possibly.

I guess the fans took that and ran with it.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Holloway popularized it, but I believe he was far from the first to draw the imaginary line in the sand and beckoned the other fighter to come brawl with him

Israel said he was pointing to the ground to let DDP know he slipped

Yeah, I don't know how that wasn't clear to people even in the moment. Pretty obvious imo

 

[Egészségére!]

Hope it doesn't become trendy but when it's done right it's the shit

 

[Neck&Neck]

Albazi should of pointed at his corner to throw in the towel

I took it more like an admission of him not being able to match Moreno skill for skill ... 'hey give me a chance here bro'

Well said. I agree. Some fighters do the stupidest of things.

You can't really ban MMA fighters from copying the guy before.

Max Holloway's moment was so epic, they're all pointing at the mat now.

It's just another iteration of all the Irish fighters copying Conor, or the Brazilian fighters copying Pereira, or clowns like Colby copying people like Chael.

They don't really know what sets them apart, so they just do whatever worked lately for someone else.

A solid stand and bang can turn a boring bout (or even card) into an excellent one

300 was a good card but the Max and Justin swinging for the fences was what made it iconic

I can't see Dana banning something that can potentially pull an event out of the fire when done right

Im not sure what is worse. Someone pointing to the ground and not engaging, or someone pointing to the ground and getting his ass handed to him.

 

[Pitier of Fools]

Ban it?

So what, are you going to get a warning from Herb Dean for pointing at the ground?

"If you point at the ground again I'm going to have to take away a point."

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

Greg Hardy did it to Tuivasa and lost, though Hardy might have been winning at that point, I can’t recall the fight that well

 

[SerbianSteel]

Both with Israel. Point to the ground, immediately run away and still get finished

 

[PaddyO'malley]

[Darragh]

I would like a fighter to point to the ground, but only to highlight the fact that they endorse Manscaping.

 

[WildShrimper]

Ah they can do whatever they want, they won't gain fans though.
