White boy picked the wrong dude: Washington State is a "mutual combat" state. Fight right in front of the policeForward to 6 Min mark

Apparently this dude has a black belt in UFC

Benjamin Fodor holds an 11-0-0 record in unsanctioned amateur mixed martial arts fights,^[35] and a 4-0-0 professional fight record.^[36] Fodor's fight name is listed as 'Fear the Flattop'.^[36] He is also the brother of StrikeforceMMA fighter Caros Fodor.^[37]

I admire what he is doing, but he will get killed doing this shit. Im surprised about that mutual combat state shit. seems like an opening for a lawsuit when you get your ass kicked and sue because the cops didnt step in sooner.

[Mr. IWS]

bitch thinks she is buying an Ipad, gets a mirror instead

1:20 mark is lulz (for me anyway) talking in the mirror

got a new work computer... has windows 8 on it. It is dogshit.

I've heard that.

Mutual combat, really? That means you can just fight in the street? This has got to be the most preposterous thing ever.

I mean, ok, I can see it being used for unsanctioned fights in a ring or cage or whatever, but dispute settlement? On public streets?

I tend to think that if two people want to fight then they should be allowed to do so without legal repercussions as long as they don't put anyone else at risk and the fight is handled responsibly, i.e. stopping when you've clearly won and not doing shit designed to maim a person, like gouging their eyes.

As for Phoenix Jones, I'm sure he's trying to do something that he believes is right and trying to do it the best way he knows how. Props.

According to the Wiki article, he is Caros Fodor's brother. How does that work?

Right, but fighting on the sidewalk, smashing into store fronts? What happens when they spill into traffic? It's ridiculous.

And I think he's Fodor's adopted brother or something. Also, I always enjoy untrained idiots getting crushed with leg kicks.

Im with ya on that, but say in this instance, dude gets dropped and smacks his head on the concrete, and dies. You think that family isnt gonna sue the fuck out of the city when a cop was standing right there watching? Especially when the lawyers find out this guy trains UFC.

Not knowing anything about the guys in the vid, as soon as that black guy threw those first couple leg kicks, I was like; "this dude looks like he has done some training." Shit was funny as hell.

Rocky IV:

Fucking Awesome? Or no?

Rocky IV:

Fucking Awesome? Or no?

I think the question is- Rocky IV: fucking awesome? Or super fucking awesome?

[SPX]

I agree. That IS the question.

Apparently a lot of people don't like Rocky IV. I don't know why not.

It's not the most dramatically credible film in the franchise, but it is the most fun.

[MMA_scientist]

Rocky III is my all time fave. But Rocky IV predicted the future. 2 white guys as the 2 best HW boxers, russians?



it is all factual.

[SPX]

Just like it was made with the hand of God. . .

I would really need to go back and watch them all to rank them definitively, but off the top of my head I'd probably go:

I
IV
II
III
VI
V

Rocky V is the only one that I just don't have an interest in ever watching again. IV really should maybe be at the top of my list because it might be the one that I ENJOY the most. But I recognize what a good movie the first one is.

[MMA_scientist]

If I had to rank them in terms of what was actually the best movie: 1,2,6,3,4,5

If I rank them in terms of what I enjoy(ed) the most: 3,4,2,1,6,5

Rocky V is really the only completely irredeemable piece of shit in the whole saga. I mean, it really is shit. Even when I saw that thing in 8th grade in the theater, I was like "why is rocky's son suddenly a teenager?" And why the didn't Tommy Gunn just inject Rocky with AIDS to go with his dementia?

That said, there are some pretty quotable cheeserific lines in Rocky V. I have used "cmon punk, touch me and I'll sue. Touch me and III'lllll sue" at least a hundred times. Also, my ring's outside. That line holds up to the test of time.
