Ummm can someone explain to me why people are posting gifs of wwe though? Last time I checked that organization was a hot ass mess and sinking at the moment. How is Punk, who just made millions to fight for 2 minutes and live out a personal dream, something to be mocked by the wwe of all places?
As a wrestling and MMA fan, I don't get it either. Punk kept his promise to fight and he got schooled. Dana made UFC look carny as fuck.

I'm not the biggest fan of the Jackson wink setup but this dude left that for this asshole.

And because of his sex life.

The best part of the Punk match will be when we find out it was a work all along. Dana was wearing a wire during a talk with Punk.

Dana: I'll pay you. Big. But you gotta go down in the first. Make my legit guy look strong.

Punk: Sounds good. What's the finish?
 

Aiii

So not worth it

MMA fans that thought UFC wasn't just as carny as pro-wrestling were deluding themselves. It's time people owned up to liking something as lowbrow as MMA. It's okay, nobody is judging, this is a safe space, we're all in the same boat.
 
You're supposed to defend yourself at all times. The ref didn't call for a time out, nor do I think he could for a hurt finger.

There's a reason why you can't go for finger joints when fighting in MMA, a finger can also get stucked in a glove, the pain Browne must have felt, he probably thought that's what happened. Same as when a mouthpiece falls or when a gloves his loose due to the tape having fall off or whatever, ref can step in when made aware of it. Werdum clearly stopped, and then went right after him, it was a conscious decision to strike him while he was showing the ref his hand when enough space was clearly made. It wasn't in a excahnge or anything.

I've been in a boxing amateur fight where my opponent made the ref aware that he lost a tooth, I didn't go after him while his head was turned because I'm not a bad sport nor am I a animal. I find pride in beating someone at their best, not due to a shitty opportunity.

Always interesting how many world class BJJ guys have the worst wrestling.
If Werdum had anything like Maia's single leg, this fight would be done and over.

Hope the last fight is good, been up since 3am :(
 
I don't count out Browne until the fight is well and truly over.

That Overeem fight was like 135 strikes to 5 and Browne weathered the storm and won.

Again, the fight doesn't stop because you hurt your hand or you want to show the ref your hand. Werdum was fighting within the rules, Browne was the one that wasn't.

I for one am shocked this organisation about people punching each other is not of a refined quality.
