The MMA Thread of 2013 - Carlos Newton took Tyven's pants off

[tyven]

maia will just grab on and ride him down and then hang out on him until all of the judges are like okay here is your 30-27 victory

[Blarg]

i don't think Maia has much of a prayer at taking Kos down

Was this posted? I know this is the MMA thread, but this shit is hilarious.



Vato has a beaner moment.

I'll probably watch the fight just in case Floyd gets dusted like Pacman did.

[Rhyis.]

I was the man who told all you motherfuckers Maia was going to Fitch Fitch, and ya'll niggas called me dumb. Well this time I'm telling all you motherfuckers Kos ain't getting taken down in that bout. Shit's just a bad match up Demian.

[Blarg]

I like to watch Oscar's face change over the course of that speech.

[AidenCarby]

Looking like Thiago Alves vs. Matt Brown, not sure if this is a good fight for Thiago after being off for a year and a half against a dude who's been wrecking shit.

[Matthias]

really lookin forward to seeing korean zombie in action again. been way too long.

[Andalusian girls]

Mayweather-Guerrero tonight should be dope. Guerrero is all pressure and May has been slowing down in his last few

[Xno Kappa]

Mares was ahead in that fight in my opinion before the TKO. No idea what Ponce de Leon was talking about.

[Ohemgee]

It was exciting the first round. 11 rounds of shiat

[Xno Kappa]

30+ mil to carry someone for 12 rounds. Must be nice lol.

[AidenCarby]

Still can't stop a fucking double leg.

[Matthias]

been watching some of johny hendricks's past fights, i'm getting genuinely worried for gsp

[Rhyis.]

Depends on the speed of Hendricks imo. I'm not sure either fighter will get the TD, but if Johnny can connect with some power GSP is going to lala land. But it could also turn out like Kos/GSP 2.

[Blarg]

GSP is just going to grow a massive beard and then he can take hits to the chin all day and be fine.

[AidenCarby]

I think GSP is too fast for Hendricks, speed is gonna decide this cause he's not taking GSP down either lol.

on mmatorch.com today:

Ray Writes: Maybe this is a stupid question, but it seems to me like Johnny Hendricks' beard offers at least a small advantage during his fights. Wouldn't it hurt a lot more to take a shot clean to your jaw as opposed to having a 2-3 inch cushion around your entire face? Am I crazy in this line of thought?

Oh Ray, there's no such thing as a stupid question; only a stupid answer. And I'll do my part to live up to that expectation.

I really, REALLY think you have no idea how hard these people punch. Here's an experiment for you, although it's not one I recommend you actually try.

1.) Spend 12 months cultivating an awesome beard. If you are like me, unable to cultivate an awesome beard, do like Eric Cartman and glue all sorts of other body hair to your face until you have the appearance of an awesome beard.

2.) Walk into Team Takedown and repeatedly taunt Johny Hendricks about his beard. Maybe even mention how you cultivated your awesome beard.

3.) Accept inevitable challenge to fight Johny Hendricks.

4.) Get punched in face at full force, and remember the amount of pain.

5.) Once swelling is reduced and wires are removed from broken jaw, shave off awesomely cultivated beard.

6.) Once 100% healed, repeat steps 2 and 3.

7.) Compare amount of pain from second punch to first punch, and VOILA! there's your answer. @MMATorchRich

great minds and all that

[Blarg]

To be fair, the effect of a beard on reducing the power of a punch is probably not 0. If you had a 1000 foot deep beard you could probably stop a car.

[Dimmauk]

FACT: Roy Nelson would have been KO'd by JDS if it werent for his beard.
