Mayweather is a coward, he only fights in fights he thinks he has no chance of losing, and when they say everyone wants you to fight Paquio, he pretends he thinks it is a good idea and then schemes to find a way to make it not happen (insert my oft repeated 'demanding Paquio take a blood test knowing his phobia of needles will make him have issues in the fight itself')
Not a spambot, not a hoax, I am bumping the boxing thread!
So Floyd Mayweather shows his class again
Skipping down to this part, we begin his tale of asshattery
Quote:
Round four: This is more like it. Some big early punches. But then Ortiz gets Mayweather on the ropes, lands several punches, but none anywhere-near-decisively. And again Ortiz gets the unbeaten Mayweather on the ropes but again fails to land. Ortiz senses success but then sees Mayweather respond. And just before the bell he gets Mayweather on the ropes a third time. Ortiz is penalised for headbutting. Before the penalty Ortiz offers a kiss. And then, stunningly, as Ortiz appears to be unready, Mayweather attacks and knocks the champion down. Mayweather wins on a knock out.
Yes Floyd Mayweather, the coward who used the "Exploit Manny's fear of needles to avoid fighting him" technique, practically sucker punches Ortiz. Don't get me wrong, Ortiz should never have thrown a headbutt, but he was sorry and went over the top with the apology in ring, but if boxing is a gentleman's sport, shouldn't the participants act like gentlemen?
But he isn't done there, he then goes on to threaten an 80 year old broadcaster
Stay classy Floyd

Also, Coolio, it's fine to disagree. I enjoyed the little back and forth
I just want to say that I'm not trying to make anybody like MMA better than boxing, or anything else. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, so that isn't what I got a beef with.
I have a problem with people who blindly bash MMA and spew shi* out of their mouths when they're clearly uneducated on the matter. All of the issues you have with MMA I could break down one by one and use video examples to enlighten you as to what is really going on. I'm not saying you'll love MMA or anything, but at least you would possibly rethink some of your positions.
There is a lot of MMA around the world, so don't limit your thinking to the western UFC promotion.

In the last decade, in fact, the sport has seen three deaths — two in poorly regulated shows outside the country and one in 2007 in Texas.The two fighters who died overseas may have had pre-existing medical conditions they failed to disclose. The Texas fighter died of "complications from blunt trauma to the head with subdural hemorrhage," according to the local medical examiner's office.
The same thing could have happened with a boxing match. Poorly regulated sports will always have a bigger chance of being more dangerous. You can deregulate football, boxing, racing, etc. and it will greatly increase the chances of serious injury. I think all combat sports need strict regulations to ensure the safety of the athletes.
Blunt trauma to the head is more severe in boxing as stated earlier, but I think what is more telling about the quote is that the fighters possibly didn't disclose crucial medical information. Medical information is used for just about every sport out there and for good reason. The problem is that some athletes want to compete in the sport so badly that they'll go to great lengths to get their medical records smudged, faked, or accepted.
MMA wasn't the problem here, but rather the circumstances around it. You could easily replace MMA in this quote with "Football," "Boxing," "Hockey," "Professional Wrestling," and so on.

44 inch vertical is pretty damn impressive.
Also, I heard the "human cockfighting" metaphor used again in the Rogan vid. I think that is about the worst analogy to use. In cockfigthing, the birds get no choice and have razorblades attached to them to cause more offensive damage. In MMA, these guys choose to fight. They do it in a mostly professional manner (what Mir said about hoping to kill Lesnar notwithstanding) and they do so without attaching razorblades to their bodies to inflict more bloody injuries.

Coolio is my favorite troll on I-Mockery now.
Some quick videos for people like him who may be reading this thread:
MMA fighter training. Dude is just a drunken bar brawler though, so anybody can do this s*it. Current UFC WW Champ.
Classic Judo techniques wrecking strikers. I know, there isn't any skill in MMA or any use of martial arts.
Some Karate being used here. This guy is the UFC LHW Champion. He's a karate master who's been practicing the art since he was a boy, but anybody can do this. They cut out the part where he breaks a person's neck, steals their girlfriend, and then rides off in his pick up truck with a confederate flag waving from the back though.
Joe Rogan pushes boxing's shi* in, so pay attention to this Coolio.

That's funny because in most interviews looking at a retired boxer, they're retarded mush-mouths where veteran MMA guys going on twenty years and still fighting are talking about their economy of motion.
Yeah, Jeet Kune Do is so fucking savage in comparison to boxing. I'm tired of that bullshit that boxing is more sophisticated and gentlemanly. YOU'RE PUTTING YOUR FIST INTO ANOTHER PERSON OVER AND OVER.

Wow, I am losing track of what you are trying to say Colonator, you're all over the map. I am not even sure you know what you are trying to say.
Let's begin with this gem:

This makes me laugh for a few reasons. So when you watched the MMA match where this transpired, was there another match on the card with a centaur fighting a guy with four arms?
You get on MattJack when he says "you obviously don't know MMA". Here's the thing though. Statements like your quote show you obviously don't know MMA. Because a statement like that shows your obvious (apparent to all) ignorance of how MMA works. When you mistake watching someone play the game Mortal Kombat for an MMA match, that makes your lack of knowledge in MMA obvious. When you say, "I don't know how they score MMA" that also makes your lack of knowledge obvious. When you say:

If you think there is no jujitsu, traditional US wrestling, or grecko roman in MMA, you are watching something not MMA. Maybe it was an episode of the A Team. Maybe it was a documentary on mollusks. Maybe it was Man vs. Food. Maybe you were at Dave and Busters watching Mortal Kombat and mistook it for UFC 103. Whatever it was, it was clearly not MMA if you saw no jujitsu, traditional US wrestling, or grecko roman. Maybe you watched the Toughman Contest. That is closer to what you think MMA is.

Your assertion that MMA does not actually use martial arts is laughable at best. If you are so sure of that belief, I recommend you go to your local MMA training facility (most major cities have several) and tell them of your views. I would be interested to hear how that works out for you.

Ask Brock Lesnar when he bowed out of a fight due to illness. Let's see... he's still in MMA, he kept his title, and they rescheduled the fight. That answer that question for you?
I get it, you hate MMA. Fine. Hate it, but don't make up and twist facts about it to suit your anti MMA agenda.
If anything, I am angry at boxing for letting itself be destroyed by its own corruption, arrogance, and lack of organization. If you can't get the best fight in 30 years done, you don't deserve to be a sport. Period. I wouldn't call myself a hardcore MMA fan, but I do respect the participants and acknowledge the skill therein.

Are you trying to clean up the filthy MMA by comparing it to Boxing? "Much like Boxing" you say?
You cannot and I will repeat CANNOT compare MMA to boxing because the brutality of MMA is almost immeasurable. When a boxer is in distress the referee will put his arms around him and wave one of his hands in the air. It never gets to the point where the fighter is being beat over and over and over again on the ground NOR does it ever get to the point where a limb or an air way is constricted.
MMA is garbage. It's low brow fighting.

At any point in the boxing match any fighter can refuse to walk into the ring. There is no need for any "risk of injury" becayse they have the option of not proceeding into the middle of the ring.
I wonder what would happen if an MMA fighter would not walk into the ring? Maybe his career would be over because most of these MMA fighters are completely and utterly replaceable. I.E. No skill involved.

I still haven't researched in to how many people have been hurt in MMA but yes, before boxing was regulated there were deaths. Hence why they regulated it.
I don't know if you know this but "Being on the ropes" is a term used to reference when a fighter is in trouble. It's just a phrase, it doesn't really mean that the person is on a rope of some sort.

They may be well versed in ballet too but you don't see that when they step into the "cage". You see a mess of grabbing and large over the top swings that then culminate into a grab ass match on the ground which then leads to one choking the other. Boring. No skill. No martial arts. No nothing. Probably 3-4 moves get used in every single fight.

Once again, Boxers are only allow to fight a certain number of matches. It's called a regulation. This is a collision sport. I wonder how many bouts an MMA fighter is allowed to have a year? and I wonder what's going to happen to their health? Both sports are dangerous but MMA is much more brutal and grissly on so many levels.

I still agree with him when he called it "Human Cockfighting" because that's what it is. Hence why it was illegal and I believe it still is illegal in many states of the union.
In my profession usually bad things are regulated. MMA is one of them I guess.

Let's try: You apparently haven't a clue what really goes on in MMA, but this is probably due to your lack of education, or possibly even a lack of motivation to go out and read a little bit of literature on the matter at hand. Go read a book.
