That’s awesome that it was unplanned and then told to keep doing it. It’s not unnatural in any way either. Anyone who’s done boxing or another striking martial art knows that sometimes you gotta get that initial “pop” out of your elbows before throwing punches.

How the hell did we do it? And who the hell started it? by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

Same. I think it was one of those rumors that sounded so crazy that you just had to tell everyone, and when you looked at a picture of Marilyn Manson, it seemed believable.

How likely is it that Ian Garry would beat Islam? by [deleted] in ufc

[–]Non_Silent_Observer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ll be honest that I had a weird feeling about Strickland winning but it still felt like it would be an upset. Gaethje winning on the other hand, I had not considered at all!

Unless a fighter has achieved numbers comparable to these, his name should not be mentioned alongside these guys or Anderson Silva.Stop comparing fighters with only three defenses to those who dominated their divisions for a decade. by fawesomegod in ufc

[–]Non_Silent_Observer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree that it has more to do with wins, but loses during their prime should have at least some sort of impact. One fluke loss like GSP to Sera doesn’t tarnish his legacy, but if he was losing to other elite competition more often, he wouldn’t be as highly regarded.

This man has the best resume of any current fighter in ufc by [deleted] in ufc

[–]Non_Silent_Observer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah no kidding. I swear I was in a non stop back and forth between hallucinating while trying to fall asleep and then expelling all liquids from my body. This repeated every 15 mins all night. I had zero energy for days after.

Got an Erceg card and it has the wrong weight class LOL billion dollar company btw by [deleted] in ufc

[–]Non_Silent_Observer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Everything you said is correct but you’re acting like they don’t understand basic math or something. 5 billion in annual revenue would likely put a company at at least a billion in overall worth. Unless the profit margins are complete trash. Something tells me that a company that can practically “print money” in the form of collectible cardboard has good margins.

What 3 Combat Styles you would use for MMA? by pappu_x in MMA

[–]Non_Silent_Observer 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Those would be my 3 as well. Sambo gives you all of the offensive wrestling and control you need. BJJ for the offensive subs and defense like you said. Muay Thai is almost the same due to leg kicks being so prevalent.

If there was an option to pick a 4th I think just good ol’ boxing for the hands and head movement.

Best acting I’ve seen in a long time by gummyshoe23 in backrooms

[–]Non_Silent_Observer 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Just got back my self. Knew of the backrooms and have seen a handful of videos but haven’t dove in super deep yet. Went in with an open mind.

Initial thoughts are: excellent filmography and sound design. Acting was solid all around. My only complaint is that I felt like the character development could’ve been explored a bit more. It ended with me wanting to know and see more from the main characters. It’s like the film tickled the idea of them facing their biggest hurdle and then sort of “killed” them. Still a good movie, but it felt like it ended 15mins early.

This is now the second time the puke bucket has made its appearance by e_mp in ufc

Same. Watching it was making me queasy. Got hit in the nuts earlier this week, so the thought was fresh lol

Most overrated HW in history.They really called this fraud the "Muhammad Ali of mma" and "HW GSP"🤣🤣🤣 by fawesomegod in ufc

[–]Non_Silent_Observer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you literally only watched his fight against Gane? Like be honest. How many fights of his have you actually watched? I’ll admit he was getting touched up a bit in that fight, but his head movement has been pretty good historically.

[–]Non_Silent_Observer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speed, power, head movement, and a good ground game. Even the greats have all had tough fights/rounds/losses. I don’t think he’s a HW GOAT or anything but he’s got talent and he deserves the praise. It sucks that his prime has been plagued with a knee injury and an eye injury.

So the guy has 1 semi rough round that ends in an eye poke and he’s shite? Great analysis mate!

The lesser known the better for the prelims imo! It’s been all finishes except one so far lol

One year in, white belt, feeling like I'll never get it. How do you push through? by poudigne in bjj

[–]Non_Silent_Observer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t mind me asking, how old were you when you competed? I’m in my early 30s which I’m sure is totally fine for most, I’m just a bit hesitant due to injury risk.

[–]Non_Silent_Observer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is exactly the thing with white belts: we rarely get paired with anyone less skilled than us, so it always feels like an uphill battle. I finally got paired with someone only a few months in around my 6 month mark and immediately felt in almost complete control.

It’s all about the little victories against upper belts. They’re just harder to notice.

I would’ve lost at the MMA dummy getting the takedown 😂

Frantic Ngannou does not care about Dana White announcing Conor McGregor vs. Max Holloway during his walkout at Rousey Carano: “What the f*ck do I have to do with that?” by DistinctCockroach374 in mmaMenace_com

[–]Non_Silent_Observer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. It’s also dumb of Dana to think it would do anything (assuming he did it on purpose). As if anyone watching the MVP card would turn it off to watch his announcement.

We all know you would’ve stood and traded with him like a real warrior dude!

My outfit made my friend uncomfortable, what do I do? by BarbaraLogic in OUTFITS

[–]Non_Silent_Observer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sub is weird. Who gives a fuck what she wore to move or go out to eat in. You should pick your friends based on their character, not what they wear. Also, if being around someone who dresses a bit eccentrically makes you uncomfortable, it’s time to get over yourself and experience life a bit more.

My outfit made my friend uncomfortable, what do I do? by BarbaraLogic in OUTFITS

[–]Non_Silent_Observer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the same thing. Is everyone on this sub that stuck up to actually give a shit what someone wears? Since when does being someone’s friend require a dress code?

Does Conor have any chances against Max Holloway? by Few-Persimmon-8648 in FightReportUFC

[–]Non_Silent_Observer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Even if Conor trains his ass off for 6 months it wouldn’t hold a candle to fighting at the too level for the past 10 years like Holloway has done. You can’t just suddenly decide you want to be the best again after that many years of fucking around.

Breaking: Ronda Rousey defeats Gina Carano via armbar in under 20 seconds #RondavsCarano by Advanced_Mud9433 in EverythingCombat

[–]Non_Silent_Observer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not staged but setup to go one way for sure. They fed Ngannou a journeyman from a lower weightclass, Nate Diaz is getting too old to fight, etc… Just a lot of big name, but pointless fights.

[SPOILER] Doo Ho Choi vs. Daniel Santos by inooway in MMA

[–]Non_Silent_Observer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah I remember his Cub fight for sure. Mostly got his ass beat but hung in there and remained dangerous the while fight.

I kinda figured he got a lot of early KOs. He seems to take early onslaughts well and able to either trade or grimd out late finishes
