Dude, get the fuck out. I mean what, now I'm the only guy here who likes to see a fighter finish his fights?

Who doesn't like to see a fighter finish his fights? Are you telling me it wasn't awesome when Carwin brutalized Mir? Or when Mir choked out Kongo? Or. . .

I didnt say that it isnt more exciting but thats not the objective of the fighter,its to win the fight.

Maybe Dana should pay fighters double if they finish the fight ,that would motivate fighters to finish their fights

He already does that. They're called Knockout of the Night, Submission of the Night, and Fight of the Night Bonuses.

We all know that the UFC rewards those who put on exciting fights and try to finish. That's why Eliot Marshall was 3-1 and still got cut.

I just think that fighters should strive to fight to the best of their ability. Finishing is like getting a homerun. Everyone should want that. If you fight your best and can't get the finish, then that's fine. But fighters who play it safe kind of piss me off. I understand it, but it still pisses me off.

I saw GSP nearly rip both of a man's arms off in his last fight.

Weird.

He tried. I'll give him that.

You know what, I actually want to believe that Hardy was able to escape from that one because he trained with Serra, so I won't even hold that one against GSP.

The incentive with having limited bonuses is to make guys strive for the best performance they can put on in the hopes of locking up one of those three bonuses. If everyone got a bonus for finishing their fight you may as well give them a bonus for making weight, for showing up on time, for coming out when they are supposed to fight. They are fighters, not divas. Exemplery performances gets them paid, not snooze fest fights. It may be a sport but the fans still pay good money to see it. Nobody is going to buy tickets to a show if they think 12 fights are going to go to uncompetitive decision when it shouldn't have gotten that far.

It'd be like if the Yankees played the Brewers every night for two weeks and instead of stealing bases and hitting home runs all the Yankees did was bunt. Eventually people get tired of that shit.

I hate to speculate, but in this case I believe it's true.

Nearly everyone else taps to those.

I saw Hardy practicing that EXACT escape with Serra on the Primetime episode. So that's what I'm going with and I feel good about it.

ok

Maybe that's why he escaped.

I still think 90% of other fighters tap to that before they escape. Look at how much pain he's in before he manages to escape.

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to say here.

Technique + heart = Hardy escaping from GSP's armbar.

Do we agree or no?
