Wrestling is king, but man it can destroy this sport’s momentum. Remember how the BMF Belt came about.

[BullyKutta]

I haven’t forgotten.

Woodley’s wall n stall was driving Dana White insane. He won fights but lost fans for the promotion. Dana was sick of it and in desperation created a bullshit belt.

The BMF has its roots in Dana’s bitterness over Woodley’s narcolepsy inducing style.

 

[MarleyLynx]

Allow knees to the head of a grounded opponent and wrestling finishes 50%+ more of their fights for sure

 

[HHJ]

No it doesnt destroy shit. Dana is an easily triggered little bitch

Wrestling FTW

Woodley wasn't champion when the BMF title fight was made

 

[GluttonforPunishment]

With Jorge started landing takedowns when he saw how easy it was against Nate?

 

[PrideNverDies]

That's why Usman was champ when BMF belt was made?

Word. Tito carried the sport though the dark age with... WRESTLING

 

[volcom5]

BMF came about because the UFC were hoping for Nate Diaz to beat Jorge Masvidal to setup a 3rd bout with Mcgregor.

 

[Jinx_AA]

Champs should be able to keep the fights where they want it

Grasso tdd was atrocious

Sean’s was expected

Can’t be champ with holes like that

 

[Trabaho]

Corny to ask for it to be entertainment and not a sport. Really pathetic. Go watch wshh for fights. This is a sport. Not your high of brutality. I hate these views. It's about who will win being effective.

Literally my favorite post of yours sir.

Knees would help everybody by providing more finishes. It would be so much more fun.

You can fix this by training the judges. If someone is landing good shots on the ground, passing to dominant positions and attacking with subs, then yeah they won the fight.
If someone is just getting a takedown, making no attempt to pass, and landing nothing, then they should get no points for it. No effective grappling has taken place.
Guard is a neutral position, and needs to be scored as such.
The way that Cain used wrestling against Bigfoot certainly wasn't killing the sport.

 

[Orochimaru 大蛇丸]

Do you actually think Woodley hurt the sport's momentum in any way? Really?

Taking someone down and controlling them is effective grappling

If you think closed guard is a "neutral position", go ask a bunch of MMA fighters if they had to choose top or bottom which they would prefer

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

It all goes in a cycle. Everyone that has been a fan has seen itt multiple times

The guard is only a neutral position when the person on there back has a high level guard, something that is non-existent these days

Just put Alex Pereira on every card theory.

If you dont like it, you should go to watch only boxing and kickboxing, muay thai or something

This is mixed martial arts, boy

 

[markantony20]

Don’t worry there will be just as many bar room brawls as ever.

Not even too long ago strikers were champions beating grapplers.
