UFC 207: Nunes vs Rousey - Page 5

Underrated and underperformer aren't mutually exclusive

Not trying to bitch but if someone constantly performes under "general expectations" doesn't that make him overrated? I am confused though

One person can find the same fighter overrated while another finds him underrated. If many feel Thatch is overrated all the more reason for me to say he is underrated. Which I am. He rocks.

This is so embarrassing. They make it a no contest, Mirgliotta and Marc Ratner are explaining the rule differently. W/E, robbed again by weird dumb shit.

Means beat his ass.

EDIT: Well I guess it should have been a DQ so I guess in a way I got lucky

Is the rule really "3 points of contact" or does it say "1 knee automatically makes a 'down opp'"

I feel like I have seen too many people put their hand down to avoid shots for the rule to just be one knee only. Could be wrong though.

any good streams ?

Sigh...

In 2 fucking days, Oliveira won't be able to get away with being a fucking pussy. Milking that fucking knee like he has milked other shits. That faggot is a dirty fighter and is only getting away with this shit because the new MMA rules don't come into play until January 1st.

Even so, that knee wasn't illegal, that director guy who has the power was so dead-set on it being illegal that he didn't want to pay attention to it being LEGAL.

I'm starting to think it was illegal and that a knee is always a downed opponent.

Many have asked and continue to clarify: What is the definition of a grounded fighter?

By definition and explanation, a grounded fighter is when anything but the soles of a fighter’s feet are touching the floor of the fighting area. To clarify further, if a fighter has a foot in the air and one of their hands on the floor, they are still considered grounded.

Do not confuse or compare this current definition with the old one (three points of contact).

Bye bye, Brandon Thatch.

Haha damn, sucks to be Thatch

call someone an underperformer, bet him anyways... im a genius

and me

I bet him too, small but still. Guy has a lot of talent but is functionally retarded at grappling, it's been his hole for so long, and I'm sure he's tried to address it, he just cant.

There is only two ways, get better on the ground or get better at keeping it standing...

2 more days, then the rules will be changed and you will need 4 points of contact on the ground.

In his post-fight speech, Niko mentioned that he heard Thatch wheezing and had a hard time breathing, so he went for the choke.

Thatch has asthma and uses an inhaler, which sucks cuz he's the biggest guy at welterweight and has no ground game and will feel like he's being drowned when someone gets on top of him. He is already known to slow down considerably after Round 1 of his fights.

Didnt read the article yet, but its about the rule changes

shit that was brutal :/
