What Is Wrong With Using Other People's Moves?

[Michael Jordan]

Everyone gives Jon Jones shit for crawling into the cage/ crawling at the beginning of the fight because Silva or Rashad did it before him and he's just copying. I see no benefit of Jones doing it, but if he feels that it works for him, who cares? Why is it bad to use something that someone else does?

 

[The Campos]

Gonzaga stole Cro Cop move if that counts.

 

[J Mill]

people will always find something to bitch about, especially around these parts

 

[ufcfan4]

It's Jones. people will find something to rip on him about regardless of its relevance.

The guy who invented the jab must be furious.

because its lame to steal a non fighting move that sets one person apart to the fans from other fighters. Just like it would be wrong for a new cola company to call it coca cola and have the same logo. Fighting moves on the other hand are free game but intros, hand singles etc stealing is kind of lame.

 

[Tooth and Nail]

I thought you meant fight moves...

It was kinda lame to copy 'Shad like that.

Why not come up with something original?

 

[dickcheney]

nothing wrong with using other's fight moves...but stealing their fluff/style moves is a little cheesy

 

[Michael Jordan]

But Jones is using it for an advantage to him; it is becoming a part of him. He isn't just copying to be cool.

who even did that thing first? do any of us know?

and i see that move kinda as a mental thing, see make your opponent slip up.

It isn't pro wrestling, NO ONE has any signature moves

1st 1/2 of this is right - 2nd 1/2 not so much

 

[ValeTudo95]

I thought Micheal Jordan was supposed to be good.

 

[Francis Rossi]

They do. Not as obvious as wrasslin, but plenty of fighters have techniques they utilise frequently. Chuck's overhand right is a notorious one, as is Cro Cop's LHK.

Fuck! Bendo signalling for the Diamond Cutter and the fight hasnt even started yet?

 

[Mau]

It's not Tekken dude.

Thought Anderson did his 1st title fight against Rich. Could be wrong.

 

[Islam Imamate]

The guy who invented the jab must be furious.

Certainly not at most MMA fighters.

 

[Stargazer Rex]

Jacking Shad's swag

 

[MP15]

Everyone is copying the Neanderthals who invented the punch.
