Sherdog's Ultimate Are You A Coward Checklist

[machidafan99]

So I made a post on this and got a few good suggestions. There's a lot of people calling Diego Sanchez a coward. It got me wondering why there wasn't an official checklist so that we could look at every fighter to see if they were also cowards.

1: Have you ever tapped to strikes?
2: Do you cut weight?
3: Have you ever missed weight?
4: Have you ever tapped to a choke?
5: Have you ever went for a takedown?
6: Have you ever turned and ran in a fight?
7: Have you ever been accused of ducking someone?
8: Have you ever been busted for PEDs?
9: Have you ever cheated in fight (eye poke, cage grab, groin strike, etc)?
10: Have you ever pulled out of a fight?

If the answer to any of the 10 questions is 'yes' then you are a coward.

Am I missing any key criteria?

are you elusive? do you run?

A pro mma fighter would probably just ask you one question and leave you looking silly

Have you ever fought before in an mma fight?

Or fought anywhere. 99% of those who act tough on these forums have never fought

If you take your opponent down you’re a coward.

if you don’t stand and bang you are a coward (looking at you Carlos).

if you don’t accept any callout immediately you are a coward.

Glad people are realizing what a dumpster fire this forum is

It’s common knowledge amongst most posters who didn’t just show up when Conor started fighting

Have you ever begged your opponent to come into your guard?

We need gifs of The Pedro complaining about the Kerr Stoppage. Him shaking his finger is hilarious.

Have you ever fought someone shorter than you?

12. Have you ever pooped your pants during a fight

This is a very important addition to the list in my opinion. The release of bowels during a fight shows a lack of the Sherdog required intestinal fortitude to be considered a non coward.

Frank Mir confirmed that there is an unwritten rule among fighters that tapping to strikes is soft, so that doesn't really come(only) from Sherdog

I call BS. It depends on the situation. These fighters have every right to tap to strikes, sometimes you get caught, ask any wrestler:

 

[Dirge]

Have you ever fought with a fractured skull?

Do you run screaming from boomerangs ?

Was your opponent in your opinion 3x your size?

 

[J Danger]

He did indeed. And then he tapped to strikes lol. It's not strict to sherdog. But as Sherdog is the global authority on all things MMA this list is being made.

yeah but his jaw was broke or something wasn’t it?

 

[orca]

Its his job his career he was trained to do that...kinda like asking if diego is a better video editor than me

"These grapplers are pussies, I would stand and strike the entire time"

Poor Struve.

Have you ever slipped a strike?
