Re: UFC - MMA
Likewise, Hbomb
The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.
If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

She got cleaned up.
1st time I know of that she has faced someone with knockout power

I was there. Spent 7 hours in and out of boredom, but Holm completely owning Rousey was worth it. That was quite the spectacle.

Can't fathom people who pay to watch this stuff, I've grown up on the sweet science and this just looks awkward brutality with no respect

Re: UFC - MMA
I see the amazing skill on so many levels , all the different forms of martial arts.
There is a high level of respect between the fighters , its there to be seen.

Really? Jumping on someone who's down to further hammer their unprotected head, plenty of respect.

The serious brain injuries these fighters will be dealing with in years to come is enough for me to talk anyone out of participating in this brutal, senseless sport.

Re: UFC - MMA
There are strict guidelines regarding knockouts. Im not sure what % of past fighters in the UFC have issues. Time will tell if the precautions are enough.
I get it isnt everyones cup of tea. I enjoy it , Id loved to be skilled enough to fight this way , or brave enough.

Re: UFC - MMA
Haha I was only kidding boney, however the idea is that when someone stops protecting their head the fight is over, so theoretically there shouldnt be repeated shots. I guess thats why so many boxers dont have brain injuriesbonehead wrote:Really? Jumping on someone who's down to further hammer their unprotected head, plenty of respect.

Re: UFC - MMA
Ive watched the main card.
Hunt knew Mir wasn't getting up as soon as it connected . Mir has packed the weight on. Cant remember him being so sloppy.
Magny/Lombard fight was a cracker. You can be all muscle and not have the cardio to last.
Glad Bec won. She looked out on her feet too but she has had a long lay off from fighting which may have had an effect

Reports that McGreggor is hanging up the gloves - whether that's before or after 200, I'm not sure.

It's legit - UFC pulled him from the fight because he wouldn't meet his promotional obligations. He's then thrown the toys out of the cot and retired.

Doesn't sound like him at all..
