    The problem with the new generation of MMA fighters is that no one specialize in a art anymore. Kids are taught everything, and they can mix it up well, and fight well...but they are not expert in a art as few years ago.
    They know basic muay thai to deal with stand up, maybe a blue/purple belt in bjj to work on their back, and some basic wrestling training at the local college gym for take downs and td defence.

    So what is 'a art' exactly?

    I think that's not a bad thing, tbh. A better cross-section than most 'dedicated' martial arts that are 'fashionable' like Tae Kwon Do (e.g.) and just teach flashy, but ineffective kicks to pull in impressionable kids that have seen the moves in films only.

    I like these small arena fights that are currently airing
    Best with the snoop commentary

    Some snowflake UFC fighters want him removed from the position;
    cos he takes the piss out of them when they fight poorly, or just look silly.

    But I love it , it's refreshing, I'm sick of those staid commentators
    with no shit Sherlock quips - ''he's got his back '' etc


    Snoop drinking one of my favourite spirits Gin

    search:

    UFC Tuesday Night Contender Series SnoopCast

    on pirate bay sky torrents etc

    I want to like MMA but i just find the thing a bit boring. The stand up stuff is okay but i lose interest when the fighters go to ground. Fedors fights were quite exciting but nowadays too many fighters are happy to lie in a tangled heap in the corner looking for a tap out. Not much fun to watch. Give me boxing any day

    I've got shevchenko winning in the 4th. Nunes has 5 good minutes in her before she gases. She will win in the first or second or lose, my bet is shevchenko will survive those 5 minutes,

    Yeah shame about mm and Borg, lost jds too. This card has taken a beating like Rousey in her last outing. But that is the headliner now.

    Mm was about to make history too, with the most title defences ever, if he had won of course.

    Boxing is still there....just th good one is not advertised....Lomachenko vs Rigondeau is the best thing coming up. Boxing is still a beautiful art to watch but mostly mass media things don't promote good boxers

    Fucking brutal this UFC.

    Tony Ferguson just won in a bloodbath that was stopped due to Pettis breaking his fist

    McGregor vs the former bear wrestling Khabib coming up.

    Come on Khabib, shut the gobby little Irish the fuck up

    Watching on BT Sports 1.
