I would like Pokemon if it involved people kneeing each other in the face.

Hope he recovers from that knee...

Might as well label all sport as gross then since death and injuries occur across multiple sports.
Didn't realize that shot did that much damage. Never like people getting seriously injured even though they assume and accept the risk as soon as they step in the octagon.
The comments though..."Better take his ass to a Pokecenter"

Page is literally the next big thing in MMA via up and comers
Not all sports consist of people actively doing something that could so easily end up in injuries like this.

Report me for trolling ND/TLoU2 threads
hope the next fight the guy has he gets knocked the fuck out. I mean you just kneed a guy in the face causing a knock-out and you do something like that. I am all for celebrating to an extent but also act like you have won before. No class.

Knowing he got a depressed fracture from that makes me feel pretty bad.

These guys are glorified independent contractors. Celebrating like he did has him trending on twitter. It's good for his business to do this shit.
he will be fine. a depressed skull fracture is crazy looking but ok. sinus cavity involvement could cause issues but he will be fine
oh shit i was gonna ask if he got a big cut or something since the way he grabbed his head was unusual. this is much worse than a cut. hope everything goes well for him.
I want to hear about all the tennis deaths. This is just modern day gladiatorial fighting. It's pretty gross.

His face looks fucking weird and uncanny in that last image. It's scary, even.

Is this honestly a serious post?

The pokeball was a jerk move. It's insanely disrespectful to the other fighter.
Unless everyone who's bashing MMA is willing to bash boxing, they're silly. MMA is safer than boxing. It looks brutal because of all the relatively superficial injuries.

Yup, the life of a warrior.
Crazy how insane Pokemon is right now. I never thought I'd get to live this craze twice. Thing is with social media and the way the Internet is now the Poke flames are spreading in way that just couldn't be done back in the day.
I'm going to hell.

It's all business, I'm sure a lot of people in this thread don't even know who Michael Page is yet here we are talking about him.

I am now routing for this guy's opponents in every match he fights. Hurting someone so bad they end up in hospital and then acting like a complete disrespectful piece of shit. What a full blown cunt.

Ah yes, of course. Explain the eyes, though. They're equally as creepy.

yea what a wuss lol
I don't think the guy knew he broke his skull and was trying to rub it in.
Not even boxing, it's safer than football (NFL).
Lmao you sound like one of those ignorant state officials from the early days of MMA.

I agree, it's there to satisfy the barbaric, savage, and animalistic behaviour in humans. It's a shit 'sport' that should be banned world-wide.

That's a very liberal use of the word 'throw'.

You are about to catch these hands
sure tennis and golf. but what about football with head injuries and players turning down multiple millions of dollars to not play anymore. same with hockey but add blade slicing open throats AND fighting. basketball players usually are ok, except there are quite a few that have knee and leg issues later in life. shit a non-insignificant amount of soccer players straight up drop dead on the field from heart issues. this is two people agreeing to fight with a specific set of rules to protect them. more people have died in fake fighting sports like the WWE than have in the UFC/Bellator/Pride.

Fucking hilarious, I lost it when he did the fist pump afterward
Jon Jones kinda did it to Vera in their fight: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9AttkvJfohk&t=7m25s
Jones broke Vera's orbital there, so somewhat similar to what happened to Cyborg here. Have seen one or two other ones where something in the face breaks and the guy just has to bail.

Or you can take its closest relative that most people deem OK in boxing. Statistics, science, and the Nevada State Athletic Commission has all but confirmed boxing to be more dangerous with the standing 8 count and 9 ounce gloves resulting in all but 10-20% of professional boxers ending up with serious brain injuries. Not to mention the main focus of boxing is the head and body.
