OMG LOOK AT THIS LINE! = Vitor at only -300 against Wand.

 

[AstroLad]

I don't know but the "OMG LOOK AT THIS LINE" thing really paid off for me in the Tito/Bader fight.

Hasn't paid off for any of the many GAF genuises who went for it on JBJ fights though.

I loved the salty tears of the Machida fans.

 

[Luixfern]

Everybody trashed Condit for turning his back and running to create distance between him and Nick. Everyone laughs at Overeem for doing that in the second Sergei fight. How come no one has a problem with JBJ doing it?

JBJ Fought to ko/submit. Condit fought for points.

 

[polyh3dron]

When are we going to have the "OMG LOOK AT THIS LINE I'M TAKING [UNDERDOG]" discussion on here like before every JBJ fight? Still a couple more weeks?

how about now.

I'm doing a $50 Evans/RoryMac parlay.

 

[SUPREME1]

You picked Brock.

Yes he did.

no shit, that post was self deprecating but i guess that went over your head.

: (

 

[Master Thespian]

He beats people's asses for a living and he does it well. If that wouldn't make someone cocky I don't know what would. And I've never been big on caring about athlete's personalities. As long as he keeps doing what he's doing I'll like him. I'm not trying to be his best friend.

*brofist*

I never understood the desire to have people going around downplaying their skills, especially in a sport where a lack of confidence will get you flattened. It seems like people are just mad Jones doesn't go to the trouble of lying to them like GSP does.

 

[TheKaeptain]

ben askren wrestle-fucking gsp would be the funniest thing in the world if that ever happened. the righteous indignation from his fan club would be hilarious to say the least.

That guy isn't even an MMA fighter. He wrestle in something called bellythor.

Bellythor isn't kind to wrestlers.

lol.

 

[industrian]

is the Mauler Gustaffson ready for a title shot?

If he can beat Silva then let him fight Bader and see how he manages that. If he can pull that off then I'd say he's the natural contender after Hendo by default.

 

[Chamber]

Bellythor isn't kind to wrestlers.

Not wrestlers 20lbs underweight anyway.

 

[bloodydrake]

seriously tho..if you turn your back and sprint away..you should lose a point.

When Anderson was doing it to Maia he should have gotten a deduction.
When JBJ did it to Rampage it should have been a deduction
and When Conduit did it as well as all the other others
Hell Tito should have lost a point against Wandy back in the day for that shit.


I get jumping out of danger..i get lateral movement..but turning your back and running should lose a point (or in my dreams a yellow card).

That said if no one officially is gonna reprimand fighters like Anderson Silva and JBJ for doing it..how can you not expect strategists like Greg Jackson to train guys to do it. Path of least resistance is the path to victory

 

[polyh3dron]

Ortiz vs Griffin 3
Cruz vs Faber 3

THE REMATCHES YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR ARE FINALLY GOING TO HAPPEN AT UFC 148

what a shit PPV card that is shaping up to be.

 

[dream]

Totally agree with bloodydrake. What is turning your back if not "passivity?" And my understanding is "passivity" is actually illegal under the unified rules.

"timidity" is illegal, and IMO, Conduit's conduct vs. Diaz qualifies as timidity.

 

[agrajag]

Throwing/landing twice as many strikes as the other guy qualifies as "timidity?" What do you call what Diaz was doing then?

 

[dream]

Octagon control.

Maybe Cung Le will get knocked out in hilarious fashion

 

[agrajag]

The dog was more timid than the monkey in that gif, if anything.

 

[polyh3dron]

it's not perfect, but conduit was the monkey definitely

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I loved the salty tears of the Machida fans.

 

[agrajag]

makes sense, I had the monkey winning that fight as well.

That photo always makes me uncomfortable. Machida looks dead.

Why couldn't he have gently let him go. Urgh that JJ is so disrespectful.

 

[industrian]

GET SOME FANS!

except Conduit didn't throw or land twice as many strikes.

 

[y2dvd]

Probably didn't realize he was passed out I assume.

 

[bloodydrake]

[Gr1mLock]

Let it go already people. If Diaz can put mary jane down for two weeks they'll fight again eventually.

 

[Dysun]

[Host Samurai]

Chuck should just come out of retirement to fight Tito. Last fight for both legends and would sell more PPV's.

 

[Plywood]

He was being arrogant and cocky. He has no respect for other fighters. He needs to be humbled.

I am posting this as a warning to the finest community on GAF, don't even think about venturing or posting outside of the OT because it may bring unfair persecution down on the rest of the community. Avoid taking shots at some of the "GAF-celebrity" posters, or we might have our thread locked.

I preach ISOLATIONISM friends.


In reference to NBA-GAF:

Thread is being locked temporarily.

Segments of the NBA-GAF community have been persistently demonstrating hostility toward the rest of the forum, especially toward female members, and an inability to abide by the ToS in general. If you want to be free of the requirements of civility and respect toward other members, or if you do not want to be a part of NeoGAF as a whole, then I suggest you find somewhere else to go.

When the thread is re-opened the moderation team will be monitoring it heavily and taking action as appropriate. Do not create any temporary/substitute threads to hold discussion in the mean time. Apologies to those not party to this behavior who are being disrupted by the thread closure.

I wonder who the female member that EvilLore is referring too.

 

[Heel]

Dear Evilore,

We're ready to fill the void left in NBA-GAF's wake. MMA-GAF would never mock NeoGAF's pseudo-celebrities in a public forum. We also have a long track record of being respectful towards women.

We've suffered through our community's Dark Age. Sticky our thread and take us mainstream.

Signed,

 

[Fersis]

Yeah MMA GAF should be sticked.

Is our time to shine guys!
* Cue 15 pages of GSP trolling *

Shouldn't it be 25 pages? You know, one for each minute.

I laughed

 

[AiTM]

MMA Gaf is the fairest to the other sex. All of the stickied sports threads follow sports that are solely male dominated. We here discuss and observe womans MMA alongside Mens MMA. Recent example being Rousey/ Tate.

exactly. we extol the virtue of women's participation in Ultimate Fighting. The Beautiful Chandella, Miss Palmer, and Miss Celeste have captured the hearts of all the posters in this thread with their card carrying abilities.

 

[Plywood]

You see this?

135lbs of rip your arm off.

Now how bout' dat sticky?

 

[Heel]

I suggest everyone message fellow MMA fan and BJJ practitioner EvilLore and have your voices heard.

A NeoGAF sticky is our Griffin vs. Bonnar. Give us the platform and we'll deliver.

We are willing to make the necessary sacrifices to secure a sticky. We promise to ban Capt's jailbait K-pop avatars filled with sexual innuendo and will force him to use a suitable replacement (Franca).
