UFC 134 Rio de Janeiro Aug 27th

[SPX]

That means that like 95% of fighters are bitches. Because the vast majority tap.

[poopoo333]

Who would you guys pick in a rematch?

[MMA_scientist]

I would definitely pick Silva. It is a funny joke, but I think his rib really was hurt. He was barely moving even standing.

As for tapping, there is definitely a time and place for it (like a joint lock) or if you are just not getting out or if you are getting your ass kicked (why go to sleep and possibly shit yourself on TV if you are going to lose anyway). BUt Sonnen had the fight won, they were slippery as hell and he was almost out of it. I would have fought that to the living death. You definitely go to sleep fighting in that case. Nothing bad happens when you get choked unconscious, it is actually kind of nice.

[SPX]

I agree he should've tried to fight it. I don't agree about it being nice to go to sleep. I mean, going to sleep might be peaceful. But chokes fucking hurt.

BTW, can you imagine the shitstorm if Sonnen had actually won the title before testing positive?

[MMA_scientist]

Chokes on the windpipe hurt, but triangles don't hurt, at least not anymore than someone squeezing your head.

Yeah, had Sonnen won, that would have been a massive clusterfuck.

God you are so gay for BJJ.

But yeah, I think Sonnen mostly panicked and found a way to lose. It's his fatal flaw.

Although, wasn't it an armbar also?

Yeah, I have never been triangled. But RNCs hurt like a bitch. Every time it happens I end up coughing and almost throwing up.

-I am, although I am actually thinking of taking a break and doing some wrasslin again. My wife brought me a singlet from a consignment sale yesterday. True story.


-agreed, he did the same thing against Filho and then had the nerve to protest. Dude, if you scream out in pain, that is a verbal tap. The ref cannot be expected to distinguish your bitch cry from a verbal tap.

-Was it? It may have been. If so, I take it back.

[zY|]

Yeah, it's listed as triangle/armbar. He probably could've gotten out, but panicked. That's my theory.

BTW, Big Nig came in fat at 243. He's only come in over 240 twice before. He had his head knocked off both times.

He's going to be slow as shit and Schaub is probably going to punch-a-size his face, for free.

Nog also looks 100 years old.

[poopoo333]

I am gonna go to the bank tomorrow, withdraw $25,000 and put it on Schaub.

[MMA_scientist]

agreed on all counts. It is not going to stop me from hoping though.

[zY|]

Also, on the triangle tip, isn't it a bit humiliating to go to sleep with your face buried in a dude's crotch?

[zY|]

agreed on all counts. It is not going to stop me from hoping though.

Oh no doubt. I'll whip my cock out and fap ferociously to a Nogueira submission.

[poopoo333]

Scientist, you are on unusually late. Aren't old people like you supposed to be in bed by 10?
