General UFC thread

[Bigga]

The fact you think a punch from behind is 'honourable' or 'man to man' says more about you than anything else.



Well I don't profess to be an expert on this, unlike you, who seems to be an expert on pretty much everything. But the on-screen graphic called it a neck crank, and a quick visit to wikipedia highlights it as illegal...but you know best.

I've been watching the UFC since the 3rd episode, when it was on the channel 'Men and Motors', I think it was called.

So, yeah, I knew the rules then and changes of the rules now.

A 'face crank' and a 'neck crank' are essentially the same thing from where the position of the grip is around the face applying pressure and turning the neck.

It 'may' have been 'illegal' once (not that I can remember), but it's legitimate at this point in time and has been performed numerous times in the octagon over the years. This is your first time seeing it. If it was 'illegal', would you not think the referee would have a clue about that...??

You don't have to be a d*ck and get offended.

He could handle the difference. Kept his cool sensationally well when he needed to. And when he didn’t need to he and his team sought payback.

If team Khabib did this every time I’d agree they were in the wrong but this was an isolated example and the recipient was a guy who’s built his fortune as much on his beyond the pale trash talking as on his wonderful fighting abilities.

These guys think differently to you and me, they don’t seek justice in the courts or in fines from governing bodies, they seek it man to man and if in their eyes a man has offended their honour there are repercussions

Summed up well.

No, the 'repercussions' end in the ring.

You don't HAVE to shake hands, but it's a good sign that you're a man to leave it in the ring.

KN even intimated his dad would be displeased with him in the post-fight conference and he looked sh*t scared at that thought.

KN knows he disrespected his family with his actions.

Respect? Leaping into the crowd whilst a few more attack the ring. Respect?

A professional would ignore the abuse, take it, safe in the knowledge that has won the fight. No need for anything else.

Nothing but a pair of cunts.

Well, if you watch the video, you’ll see Danis beckoning Khabib out, and Mchregor throwing the first punch in the ring. The difference between the two camps, one side is a yapping chiwawa and the other in a pit bull. Connor and his team wanted a war and got humiliated by some very serious individuals. Then to add salt in the wounds, there’s a video of hundreds of Irish fans baiting about 10 Russians and standing there singing as one of them spat on a Russian and got knocked out.

Very bad night for them. And it’s been coming. ‘If one of us goes to war we all go to wat’ yeah right

Was anyone else half expecting Andy Kaufman to show up in the midst of all that? It was that kind of shitshow.

I'm not fussed about either side. You can fight and win, or fight and lose, but either way take it like a man and show humility at the end. It's a professional sport. All the hoo har beforehand is to sell the fight. It's happened in boxing for years. We get that. Stuff after? Shows them all up to be nothing more than trained thugs.

I see what you’re saying I do, but... you’d think the ufc would have some sense about them to tell McGregor to reign it in, especially when bringing religion and Khabibs relationships with serious Russian criminals. The way McGregor behaves this was inevitable some day. They’ve treated KN like an underclass in the build up, and if you provoke the wrong people it gets very real.

What I sincerely hope, is Khabib gets treated like McGregor would in this situation, but I doubt he will, and I’d love to see him fight Ferguson because that is intriguing.

I hope McGregor learns a life lesson in humility now, and he disappears and enjoys his wealth because his act is old and boring and he’s not elite level anymore anyway. Talk of a rematch, he lost the battle on the feet it was a beat down. Really no need for it

He sounded like he lost his rag and knew it - like he won the outer fight but lost to the 'not his best side' straight afterwards.
But has anyone here been in such a situation to be able to say 'oh yeah, I'm much more honourable than him and would
have handled it differently?' Oh but he's professional so he should be this and that? Go find out yourselves how you'd
deal with it - even without the physical fight part maybe? CG came across as though he was trying to wind KN up so he'd be
unbalanced and make a mistake. And he succeeded to an extent - just not quite at the time and in the manner he'd probably hoped.

No problem, take the rematch to Dagestan, see how brave Danis is over there.

I think you’d also see a more restrained approach from Conor at any Dagestan based weigh ins and pressers thus avoiding the need for retribution.

Why would anyone go to Dagestan for a poxy pay day? Everyone knows UFC is all about hype, which is what generates the money (PPV), which is also why it is in America and Vegas, whenever possible...just like the biggest events in boxing!

There is a reason McGregor is a loud mouthed cnut...it is what generates the hype, the money and the publicity that sustains ALL OF THEIR CAREERS!

As I said at the outset, I’m no fan of McGregor, but I can have zero respect for what happened to him post fight.

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Another fucking snowflake

So, we will out you down for “sucker punch from behind AFTER the fight” as “honorable.”

I’d suggest you have issues.
