One thing I want you all to look at toward the end of the clip. Holm pushes Rousey into position for the KO kick. Not saying Holm isn't a beast, but is this a legal move? And if so how come you dont see it more in MMA?
>>63579935
>beating the shit out of each other is fine
>HOW IS IT LEGAL TO SLIGHTLY PUSH SOMEONE!?!?
>I was just pretending to be retarded
>why is pushing a person in the stomach legal
i don't know OP, I don't know

MMA fans are always trying to come up with excuses when a boxer beats another MMA fighter. It's pathetic.

Why is hitting women allowed???
IT'S 2015
>>63579935
Ronda was off balance multiple times throwing stupid haymakers. I don't know what that last thing was though, some half assed attempt at an elbow? She's so exhausted it's hard to tell.
>>63586320
Ronda's striking is elite. That's what Joe Rogan says and I believe him.
>>63579935
You don't see it more in MMA because it's not that easy to control your opponent. It just shows that even before that head push, Rousey was in a bad way thanks to an entire round of solid striking from Holm.
>>63579935
My bet is that she was turning her just slightly to avoid kicking her in the back of her head.
First thing I thought when watching the fight
>>63579935
is tickling allowed?
Australian mainstream media has for the past year been non-stop pushing the message that domestic violence is bad (because of Luke Batty) and that violence against women is rife (due to Jill Meaghre). Now all of a sudden because a woman is doing well in sport we are inundated with articles that glorify violence against women, even if in a sporting context.
Say 'NO' to MMA in Australia. Press F to show solidarity.
>>63586842
>>63586842
This 100%. Most people don't even consider how beat to shit Rousey was after the 1st round ended. She was lost going into round 2 and Holm embarrassed her.
>>63579935
how about that ridiculously late hit by rousey after the first round? that's probably why holm wanted to put her in that position and wreck her
>>63596423
yea for real, i was surprised herb dean didn't do anything. the hit seemed more disrespectful then anything else
>>63592576
I'm pressing R to show respect
it's not doing anything
>>63592576

i wonder what lisa wilkinson has to say about this
That was Petrosyan-ass shit. Slick as fuck.

is the new meme now SHEEM SLEEPY?
>>63579935
>turning your back on your opponent and getting fucked up.
>being this stupid and not curling up after getting hurt
If you've ever played dark souls you know you roll forward and drink some estus instead of getting up and ending up dead like a dumb dumb.
anyone have the sound clip of Ronda screaming 'NOOOOO'?
>>63605531
i think you got lost and ended up on the wrong board...NEERRRRRD
>>63579935
So I'm not sure of technical terms but jiu-jitsu and its Brazilian off shoot are literally the martial art of moving your opponent into a less dominant position and then taking advantage of your own stronger position.
That kick looks soft as fuck, more sexual than vicious.
>>63606905
it was right in the neck, plus i saw it from another angle and it definitely didnt look soft
>wwe trash finally removed
>ufc keks start spreading like cancer
gee who would've thought
>>63583899
This meme needs to end.
>>63584050
this.
I thought the whole pull of MMA was the lack of rules in the first place. Just as close to all out fighting as possible without rules getting in the way
>>63579935
holy fuck, you win the retard award today buddy
>>63579935
If you can grab someone's head and blow knee strikers to their face, why wouldn't you be allowed to do that?
>former boxer wins
makes sense, now maybe all these manchildren can start watching the superior sport
the fatass could barely even walk after the first round
she got blown the fuck out, it was just a matter of how Holm was going to end it
>>63607154
Ronda was close to winning it a couple of times with a judo hold, took some really good body work to counter it from Holm. Really good fight precisely because it was close.

Cannot possibly be justified tbqh. Even mandrama fans are less embarassing and fail less at life than actual MMA fans
>>63579935
>hey guys u gonna put someone in an armbar and punch them in the face but shoving is illegal
>>63607406
not really the case here. All the big MMA fans I know are tradesmen or coke dealers. People in trades can make 6 figures here and although most coke dealers fail at life, the ones who like MMA that I know are the super ballin "successful" coke dealers with lots of money
I dont think I know any poor mma fans
I don't watch mma outside of a few clips a month but I notice that in other fights when they are down on the ground and the other persons still hits them the ref allows like 4-5 punches before he breaks them apart
but with this she barely gets one punch and the ref shoves her away
Is this telling on how protected Rousey is in the mma?
>>63607100
There are rules, but mostly rules about striking or low punches. Like you can put your fingers in someone's eye or you can't kick the upper part of the body when someone is down or you can't do 12-6 elbows when on top. The thing OP is complaining is stupid.
>>63607482
She was out cold
>>63607482
m8 watch her fall, her head hit the ground first she was knocked the fuck out
>>63607482
Watch the kick she took. She was out cold even before hitting the floor. The ref did the right thing and save her from ended up even MORE fucked up.
>>63607482
She was already unconscious before she hit the mat. Watch her head slam on the ground, she had a concussion. If anything the fight could have been stopped the moment she landed.
>>63607125
I haven't watched a MayMay fight in my life but I could bet thousands of things thare are not permitted in the ring. Is it allowed to swear, to spit, to pull hair, to scratch with your fingernails, to pull your pants down and show you genitals, to stick a finger in your opponent's anus?
You have to set them up for the sweet chin music

>There are rules, ... like you can put your fingers in someone's eye
>>63592576
I'm trying to press F, but I keep getting that weird cyrillic square-ish capital A.
>>63607615
Most likely. Still- those extra blows killed what would've been a metric fuck-ton of 'premature stoppage' fags coming out of the woodwork to stir controversy and claim that Rousey was NOT out cold. Not even a viable claim- just a license for douchebaggery.
>>63579935
It shouldn't be that easy to ragdoll your opponent, especially a fighter like Ronda who is so strong. That being said, Ronda most likely had no equilibrium and was probably not very conscious at this point from all of the straight jabs that she ate. If it were a boxing match, it would have probably been stopped by the ref under tko by this point.
>>63592576
>Say 'NO' to MMA in Australia
Australia needs to be nuked. First the shameless gun grabbing OVER A SHOOTING SPREE, now this.
How is MMA any different from boxing, I wonder. I mean, if they wanted to ban full contact fighting period, I could somewhat see.
>>63605531

They're testing for that now, Anderson. :^)
>>63607100
Clearly thinking is not your strong suit.
>>63607482
also semi related, why do fighters keep punching ko'd people in the head most of the times?
they can tell they're heem'd right? you don't have to be a genius
>>63607276
>close fight
My sides have left the universe.
>>63607406
Are you mentally retarded?
>>63607968
Nah, but you must be.
>>63607956
It's called adrenaline. Also, you keep fighting til the referee stops it.
Most guys stop hitting at full power after the opponent is heem'd and just go through the motions.
>>63607993
You fucking child, did you really just do that? When I hit send, I thought "Now way he's gonna go there..."

Just go on Twitter and congratulate your opponent on rekking your ass.

>>63609914
She was working hard to isolate Holly's arm both times when they were in the clinch. She actually succeeded in doing so once, but she wasn't in position to get a hip toss. If she HAD been, it would've likely been night-night for Holly.
I suggest you watch Firas Sahabi's breakdown of the fight, really goes into detail about what Ronda did right.
Anyone got a link to the match?
>>63609123
That's not the kick sound at all. You don't here any other sounds from the ring and it's also well after the kick landed. It sounded more like someone ducking around right in front of the guy,
>>63579935
pushes, fakes, slips and level changes are awesome mma techniques.
you rarely notice them but they are always there in every great win.
>>63607475
I just wanted to bump this thread so people have the chance to read one of the stupidest fucking posts I've ever seen.
>>63622235
holyshit that was gold. Thank you anon. I had a great chuckle
>>63579935
you see combos all the time
>>63607956
The only reason Hunt never did it is because he was too lazy to go and make sure. Every one else does it out of adrenaline and the smallest possibility they'll recover. If you headkicked Gomi back in the day and his head bounced off the mat he could stand straight back up like it was nothing. Some people have that freakish of a chin.
>>63592576
Just legislate everyday think in Aussie. Give Obama ideas.
>>63607956
>they can tell they're heem'd right? you don't have to be a genius
absolutely correct
but I'd hope the one guy in the ring with the official power to stop the fight is as minimally intelligent as you're expecting the fighters to be in this regard
>>63607930
Isn't this a little ironic coming from one of the few 1st world countries with worse censorship laws than us? If you're white I'm surprised you're not already being beheaded as we speak.
Call.me gay, but what are 12 6 elbows?
>>63607475
kys Leaf
>>63613365
Your a fucking joke, it's the fact that holly worked on how to counter all of rouseys over hyped moves that she was not only able to defend but always stay in control of the fight. Rousey got boxed the fuck out for a round and got her shit kicked in the next and when she would go for her hip throws holm defended above par.
The only time rousey gots holms down she looked stupid in some cradle like grab that holly was able to move out of and counter with her hits.
Your just cancer pandering to a dead following.
>>63625064
Elbows thrown between the hours of 12pm and 6pm. Most people are working during those times so it's considered unsportsmanly to elbow them when they're trying to earn a living.
>>63625189
So elbows thrown directly upward or downward?
>>63625245
Directly down. Going from a 12 o clock position with your elbow to a 6 o clock position. It basically turns your elbow into a hammer and will do serious damage.
>>63607725

so about that Rousey/Mayweather fantasy fight
>>63607276
>close
It was like watching pro female fighter kickboxer, beat the shit out of some drunk trailertrash lady, Rousey is so delusional about her standup ability, it does not help that Rogan and her dumb coach kept feeding her ego with statments like
>Ronda could beat up the 135 men's dev
>El female Mike Tyson wonder woman
>Ronda's hands are insane, she could be a pro boxer
Why does this dumb cunt, have a boxing trainer as her MMA coach anyway?
When his boxers are all bums, what could he really do for you in MMA?
>>63586842
this is the answer to OP`s dumb fucking question.
>>63607725
There's about 30 fouls in the unified rules of mma; fewer in certain non-American promotions.
As a side note, pushing an opponent into a kick is a well noted kickboxing technique in addition to being used in mma. Giorgio Petrosyan is known for it.
