Rountree says he has “never been seen before” move and there’s a possibility he uses it against Alex Pereira

[GiganticMeat]

Herb Dean: "Watch your punches, now let's get to work!"

"I'm gonna let that one slide"

 

[Goutfather]

he’s gonna summon the demon with his cult magic

As much as I hope Khalil pulls off the upset, I could also see him getting starched in 30 seconds. Hopefully this move is like Ryu from Street Fighter, and he's just wheel kicking through the air across the cage.

 

[Bret 'The Hitman' Hart]

Probably just some bullshit to put doubt in Pereira's head. That's fair play

 

[Jesus X]

Pocket sand.

 

[Jesus X]

Khalil is using face strikes to Alex's fists.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

Anything can happen. And Poatan is very hittable so. Only takes one shot.

 

[spinup]

He's gonna oil check Poatan up to his wrist like a puppet and Poatan wont be able to hit him because if he turns around Khalil will also turn, like a dog chasing its tail. Its gonna be great

Then he can make Pereira KO himself with his own left hook.

 

[Greyscale]

Is it called "playing dead?"

 

[Robbocop]

Pretty cool, there absolutely could be new moves that haven't really found their way into MMA particularly yet even though at this point there have been probably hundreds of thousands of MMA fights in MMA history. Anderson's front kick to the face was really a paradigm change in MMA because now you see guys throwing it all the time. Of course there are a lot of low % moves that are not worth throwing too often like a rolling thunder kick or some of those crazy spinning Taekwondo kicks.

I had sometimes wondered about the legality of strikes with the outside of the hand to the side of the neck, aka a knifehand strike or "karate chop" to the side of the neck. In fact, the carotid artery on the side of the neck I think if struck with the side of the hand like this could be severed or ruptured causing death.

There was an Australian cricketer who took a cricket ball to the side of his neck and died, Phillip Hughes. Technically the current rules of MMA prohibit throat strikes (front of the neck) and spine strikes (back of the neck) but I think the side of the neck is a legal target, but I am not an MMA lawyer.

EDIT: I should also say it might not be a karate chop, I mean the knifehand side of your hand where your thumb is on. There is a strike like this taught in Ninjitsu, although I realise almost no MMA practitioners come from a ninjitsu background.

I believe he has some shit in his arsenal we haven't seen. Would be crazy if we had a collective "oh shit" moment.

Rountree's secret move:

 

[Goatenstein]

Sean O'Malley's scumbag coach is gonna run out and yell bad instructions to Poatan.

 

[Sasha]

Oblique eye poke

 

[Dowdy]

The takedown attempt.

Rogan will bust a nut if he does it

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

my guess is that it is going to be some obscure submission.

when do 12-6 elbows become legal? maybe a standing 12-6 elbow that you see in Muay Thai?

I believe the ABC thing is passing Nov 1, so not in time for this fight. But that's just the ABC, so it's all regional dependent after that happens, and what athletic commissions accept it.

I've been waiting thirty years to witness the Five-Point-Palm Exploding-Heart-Technique. Quite simply, it's the deadliest blow in all of martial arts.

thank you for clearing that up for me. sounds like it will cause some chaos in future fights, similar to knees to downed opponents.

If Alex's heart gets exploded, he will still leg-kick and ultimately get another savage KO.
