Re: Strikeforce Los Angeles June Card

LOL I read it all but I've yet to read that novel you posted yesterday

Me either.

I probably actually READ half of it and scanned the rest.

It was just too much. What the fuck was he thinking writing an article that long?

What I want to know is what the fuck were YOU thinking posting a long ass article that you were too lazy to read?

Cliffnotes :

Fedor never in trouble against AA

Fedor has been somewhat lucky to get 33-1

Fedor always has a great gameplan for the fighter he's fighting

Indeed. Well thank you, sir.

Re: Strikeforce Los Angeles June Card

Svino, I disagree. Mount is supposed to be a better offensive position, and thus its superiority in the positional hierarchy... but when there is little damage done by either fighter, positional dominance shows that fighter was in control.

I know a lot of people agree with that. There's a weird problem in that most people seem to think LnP is horribly boring and killing the sport, but people are also outraged if the guy who spends more time on top loses the decision. Makes it pretty hard to fix. I hate standups, but they're necessary. I've mused about a system where the ref could do the opposite to a fighter who was avoiding combat in the stand up game. "Stop! I'm going to restart you on the ground!" What I really hate is the 'saved by the bell' thing. I'd rather see the round ended not by the bell, but by the referee at some point of his choosing after the bell rings. Wait until there's a lull in the action.

Like Fedor's guillotine- it was not even a thought that he would submit from there.

Fedor used to love that guillotine. He would go for it constantly in RINGS.

But if you want to talk about reality, Fedor would probably still be under that mount if there were no time limits or rounds.

Gracie / Sakuraba was awesome, but there's no way the sport would survive if every fight were like that. And to think Saku went out and fought Igor after that - what a warrior.

I can tell that we're different in that you like to bet the same kinds of fights that you like to watch. For me, it's almost completely opposite. My favorite fights are submission showcases, and I like fights to finish. But as a bettor, I'm almost always on the control wrestler, and I like my guys to grind out decisions standing or on the feet.

Dude, I read a lot of it and scanned the rest, like I said. So I knew it was interesting.

Besides, I'm not the boxing fan around here. YOU ARE. So . . . yeah . . . sorry man, it was my bad for thinking of you.

LOL. Fair enough.

That would be way too subjective and there's already too much of that in the judging.

I see your point about subjectivity, but I think there still might be a way to do it without a lot of controversy. I didn't mean to wait until the kind of total freeze that would warrant a stand-up. Just don't break up a fight in the middle of a flurry or serious submission attempt.

I just want knees on the ground and I'll be content with everything else.

I'd like to think we could at least make upkicks to a downed opponent legal. And let's get rid of the stupid hand-on-the-ground loophole. And the 12-6 elbow rule. (I have to admit that I honestly can't even tell exactly what the elbow rule is.)

I'd be happy with no more 3 round fights

Nobody knows what the fucking elbow rule is. It's retarded. I agree and hate all that shit you listed too, no reason for those ridiculous rules. While we're at it let's bring back stomps and soccer kicks and let's punish these guard floppers. When I see a fighter unnecessarily limited in his offensive options it just pisses me off. But I think knees on the ground is the biggie. I see a use for them in just about every single fight I watch. It completely changes the whole dynamic of the game.
