Takedowns should be banned

[Tycho]

Look at this shit:

Such a bullshit technique. Allows shitty fighters like Koscheck or Shields to possibly win fights. Plus its boring, and stresses out homophobes. Most guys don't want to watch other guys face humping each other.

Wrestling in general is very hard on the body, the training causes a lot of wear and tear. This is bad man.
Also serious injuries, like in this article: http://www.bjjee.com/health/takedown-while-caught-in-guillotine-cause-of-numerous-horrific-injuries/

Look, MMA is about drunken brawling, that's what the fans pay to see and that's how it should stay. Anything else is basically cheating

Conclusion: Definitely should be banned.

I would argue more knees get blown out during takedown attempts than oblique kicks.

That takedown defense though.

Takedowns are fine, it's the sitting in the guard and not taking risks in those situations which are not so easy on the eye.

Beat me to it

Crazy how talented gsp was everywhere , hope he makes a comeback.

You can always Watch kickboxing or boxing bro, or pvr every event an just fastfoward threw the takedowns if they bother you that much

Agree. They should also get rid of knees, kicks, elbows, submissions, wear bigger gloves and shoes. They should call it "boxing." Has a nice ring to it.

Eventually so many things will get banned MMA will just be two guys hitting each other those large foamy noodle things for swimming as any contact would not be allowed

Its funny though, because originally boxing had all kinds of kicks and shit, they ended up banning everything to make it more 'gentlemanly', kinda what people are doing to mma now LOL

Sounds like touch butt is the future of mma. Maybe McGregor was training for the future.

bloody crazy thread in an mma forum!!!
what do you want to ban from porn?

 

[Roljo]

Not bad, just shows that you should listen to most people before knowing enough about the subject yourself. You could almost convince people that takedowns should be banned
