So hugging won the belts tonight...

[Nobru]

1 - its not against the rules

2 - its boring as fuck

 

[BJJ4Tone]

You ask Alexa and Sean if they feel like they were just hugged tonight, I'm pretty sure both of them would tell you otherwise sir.

Man... I can't believe how many people suddenly hate MMA this morning.
Guess they should have watched Canelo instead.

If these strikers everyone love so much can't stop the grappling, that's on them.

 

[mangokush]

The UFC should become a mixed striking combat organisation only and ban grappling/wrestling since casuals who pay for PPVs and tickets find grappling/wrestling boring and only want striking

The FOTN was just a striking match only between Ribovics & Zellhuber for exampls

Striking only matches excite the casual crowd, when the crowd shows the same excitement for grappling/wrestling matches then it might change but all you hear is booing and jeers at live events whenever grappling/wrestling is involved

Shev did what she had to do to ensure she won her belt back. I think it was deeply personal because she's felt like she is the better fighter all along and Alexa caught her with the choke.

Wrestling wins out most of the time. If you don't like that you should have left to watch kickboxing long ago. But I never see you guys talking about the kickboxing cards so piss off and stop whining.

 

[treelo]

holding someone down and not trying to finish the fight is not acceptable for me, there are some great examples of wrestling heavy fighters who stopped plenty of people

those last night didnt even attempt to finish the fight, if anything, Grasso was the only one attempting to actually win

The only exciting part of Alexa vs Boringtina was Alexa throwing subs, anyone that says they enjoyed Valentina's performance is a lier trying to appear to be a " true hardcore fan" of the sport.

"you didn't enjoy the effectivness of Boringtina's gameplan? Maybe go watch kickboxing good sir "

Yet you won't see those idiots watching amateur wrestling tournaments because you know...THEY ARE BORING AS SHIT!!

 

[blaseblase]

This has got to be a parody right? Don't tell me we've got a forum full of dorks who refuse to watch kickboxing and instead watch a sport that is defined by grappling just to complain about grappling

Go watch Royce Gracie v Shamrock 2 and cry yourselves to sleep.

 

[RockyLockridge]

Shevchenko clearly had the advantage on the feet but decided to make it a hugfest for whatever reason.

Because she got fucked on the score cards so she needed to make it very clear for the judges and the fans at home that she is the far superior fighter everywhere for the entire 25 mins

Val was in the driver seat the whole time Alexa is 10 times more boring


Loving the mexican fan cope truly I do I love this MMA sport and if you are an actual fan you'd acknowledge her performance was excellent

Meanwhile the first three threads on a major boxing forum right now lol.



Its almost like negativity is the default on forums.

Dude it's just because their mexican champion lost they were like this with moreno too completely delusional and salty

I'm an actual fan and have been watching for enough decades to know her performance was safe and boring and she didn't come to actually fight, Alexa was the only one trying to finish her opponent and provided the little excitement the fight had.

Looking forward to Alexa's next fight, couldn't care less about Boringtina's.

Yeah because she got robbed last time she had to make sure it didn't happen goatina know the judges had it out for her she had to make it real real easy to score so they wouldn't fuck it up again.

You'd be a hater to blame her we all know she won last time.

So because she was "robbed" last time I should pretend to enjoy the bullshit she did last night? maybe she wouldn't get robbed so much if she actually tried to finish when she faces high level opponents, before that fight it was constant whining from her and her fans about the second Amanda fight.

 

[rearnakedchoke]

There was some kissing also.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

There has been a lot of complaints lately about how UFC is a kickboxing org with too many finishes, so last night was great for those people.

 

[Aluminati]

The point fighting calf kickers lost to the smeshers. I am not shocked. Outside of Grasso, they were not favored.

 

[DougieJones]

Know what they should both say?

We lost because we couldn't get up.

Black Beast needs to open a 'Just Stand Up' dojo and share his immaculate anti-bjj techniques with the world

 

[Aluminati]

To be fair to Val, she beat Alexa wherever the fight was. Towards the end, she was basically just running takedown drills in between piecing her up on the feet. Grasso's ground game was non-existent. At least there's no way they rematch after a 50-45, right?
