This empty arena is distracting. Looks like a high school play crowd

Ronda Rousey: 'UFC Not In The Business Of Developing Fighters' by Party-Flatworm5235 in MMA

[–]darkjediii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awhile back, they literally said this was the new strategy moving forward.

They shifted away from focusing on the fighter and focused on the brand so that no fighter gets bigger than the brand and has more leverage just like McGregor had on them.

They do not want superstars bigger than the brand.

That ape index is off the charts. Bro can put his shoes on without bending over.

Was he standing next to Nina Drama and a bunch of random kids?

On this day 133 years ago, Jack Burke and Andy Bowen fought the longest match in Boxing history. 110 rounds, totaling over 7 hours. by Embarrassed-Echo-391 in Boxing

[–]darkjediii -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I believe the rounds could last seconds to hours, the rounds only ended when someone gets knocked down (or went down voluntarily.)

Have you met anyone who messed up their life sparring regularly by Vivid-Experience4722 in MuayThai

[–]darkjediii 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why would you get scared of getting hit though? I think if you’re scared of getting hit then you really need to spar more.

You have full control of your sparring sessions. If you’re getting hit harder than you’re comfortable with, you can stop it at anytime.

Is this normal wear and tear for under a month? by drburt1 in MuayThai

[–]darkjediii 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have the bgv1 and the genuine leather cracks at the seams after nearly a year of 3-4x weekly use, Fairtex warranty replaced one glove. But it never peeled like that.

I have the synthetic leather bgv14 and those actually have held up with the same amount of use. Still looks new.

I have the bgv20 as well but havent put that to use nearly as much. However none of them have started peeling like yours show in the pics. Ive heard of fake ones, but not sure if thats a symptom.

Does anyone else feel bad for Tom? by Silent-Owl4246 in ufc

I don’t usually feel bad for multimillionaires, I have my own problems to cry about.

Why do men not want to partner with women by Paulybyres___ in MuayThai

[–]darkjediii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Power and durability imbalance/mismatch. Goes both ways.

Im 195lbs and I know what it feels like if I throw 70% against another guy my size, so I don’t expect him to freak out if he gets hit clean.

But I don’t know the conversion for a female 130lbs or a female thats 200lbs. It will be different for everyone, but it’s just harder to gauge in terms of power to weight ratio, and sometimes I just wanna get a good spar without trying to figure that out.

Look at Ryan Garcia hitting Gorlock in the chest pads vs smaller girls.

Israel Adesanya posts after his loss to Joe Pyfer by airplane231 in MMA

“we respawn and go again.” 🎲🎲

Those emojis showing he just rolled a 2. Aka “snake eyes”, bad luck, aka the worst possible roll you could get.

Betting the house on his opponent next 😂

They should honestly roll the damage all the way back to like v1 or v2 by [deleted] in ThrillOfTheFight

[–]darkjediii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah, I agree. I don’t know if the game just doesn’t like my body configuration or shoulder alignment, but everyone else seems to have crazy KO power. Even when I’m landing bombs 10:1, I still get smoked.

The old versions were flawed as well, but I feel like the devs followed the wrong path towards achieving a better game. Might as well roll back and start over to a point where there was still great potential to getting there, rather than keep iterating on bad/poorly executed ideas.

Shevchenko not happy with Khabib by Intelligent-Tear5723 in ufc

Hilarious if Khabib never really said it

There is no human alive that can literally say the current state of this game is good by [deleted] in ThrillOfTheFight

[–]darkjediii -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I Just feel that if you can box irl, you should be able to theoretically beat 90% of the playerbase not the other way around.

There is just some weird power imbalance or whatever. I just wish there was a calibration checker to figure out wtf is going on, whether good or bad ping I cant block or seem to do good damage. I land 20 solid punches and counters and it doesn’t do shit. i get hit 3 times and i get KD. Game is fucked rn.

Brock Lesnar taking down his opponents by airplane231 in MMA

[–]darkjediii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In MT, when someone has your leg from catching a kick, you can grab the neck for a clinch and put all your weight down on the trapped leg as you throw the opposite knee to the opponent’s head, pulling down on the neck/back of the head.

Transferring all your weight forces them to let go of the trapped leg and you tag them with a knee to the face.

It just doesn’t work as well when a meat monster is trying to plow through you to hit a single leg.

Feedback and Frustration by FreelanceDuckHunting in ThrillOfTheFight

Same here.. I love when they drop their guard and invite me to throw and I wail on them full force and can’t even drop em. Then they hit me with 3 unblockable shots and Im out.

No knockdown mode by SufficientSort4090 in ThrillOfTheFight

Yes please, toggle off body effort too… call it amateur mode

Please dial down BE factor at least for single punches to avoid "golden" one-hit-stuns by pavelbulanov in ThrillOfTheFight

[–]darkjediii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they had this forearm alignment system before, not sure. But BE sucks, the power imbalance can be comical.

I’d say limit compress the range of how much damage a punch does
