With fighter pay I always tried to stay out of it because you never know what these guys make. I remember Mir's manager saying that he got paid pretty well with some bonuses or incentives in his contract besides winning bonuses and fight/sub/KO bonuses. Then there was that whole contract dispute with Randy where they released his pay and it showed he got paid over a million dollars in his fight with Sylvia. Then there are the sponsors and things. so I really don't get much worked up over pay unless it's something crazy like a guy not getting paid what he was promised.
 
I was forgetting sponsorship, even Mark Hominick is sponsored by a football team so I guess that helps out a lot.
 
It's the closest thing to hand-to-hand combat without weapons and sudden death attached Bubonic.

At the end of the day, combat is messy and gritty. In a scenario involving two combatants, the chances of the fight heading to the ground is well above 80%.

Real fight goes down like this, slam in the throat, push kick to inside of knee, trip if needed, jumping up and down on head, getting the **** out of there.

Don't forget the eye gouging, nut ripping and biting off fingers, ears, nose and into the throat.

You'd of course draw the line at all the fun stuff, honestly though advocating soccer kicks isn't much better than some of the stuff I've posted. That stuff should be reserved for life or death situations, not in competitive sports.

Jeepers, I would never do any of that :cwink:

In every fight I have ever participated in, I have never really gone that far with anyone. I prefer to go for a Judo Ippon/throw and then go for a submission. If I were to ever be dragged into a stand up fest, I'd probably use my Kali/Silat, but thankfully I have not.

However, I still don't see myself curve-stomping anybody in a real situation.

Yeah, nothing says "I love you" like a quick jab to the Adam's Apple. You can be 6'2 and 220lbs, but if you get jabbed in the throat, you are going down.
 
Something to remember about a street fight is you'll want to stay on your feet, you never know who else is there to back the guy up who started a fight with you.

Get fancy and try for an armbar in the middle of the street and someone might just tap dance on your face.
 
I'm for stomps, not so much to the head, but if a fighter could stomp a dude's midsection it would really even things out and destroy guys like Werdum.
 
It's a risk I've taken numerous times when I attended High School and worked as a bouncer several years ago.

Usually a throw onto tile or concrete, if preformed and executed properly, will keep someone down (more shock than pain really). From there I just go for a wristlock or a Kimura (both in the kneeling position), I got a crushing grip so nobody is going anywhere.

I know better than to go for a Triangle Choke or an Armbar in a street fight. I've seen way too many street fights in my day.

I remember years ago I was at Rain in The Palms... 2 guys got into it and one of the idiots pulled guard... the security was on top of the those 2 IMMEDIATELY. there wasn't even time for the guy on top to throw a punch. It's not quite a street fight but a stupid move nonetheless.

The 12 to 6 elbow isn't enforced properly. The refs let fighters use it when lying flat on the ground... the example that pops immediately in my head is when Anderson Silva beat Travis Lutter. Silva was on his back and had a triangle locked on Lutter and was dropping 12 to 6 elbows on the top of Lutter's head, but since they weren't coming from the ceiling to the ground Herb Dean let him do it.

Which is exactly why a lot of people argue that BJJ isnt the best idea for a true streetfight. My Sifu says this a lot during classes.
 
Well nobody has responded about this weekend's UFC.

In the main fights these are my picks. I like this card, I hope it turns out as good as I think it will, because Im paying for this one!


Faber by decision over Cruz

Bader over Ortiz....I think he will finish Ortiz, but Im not sure his hands are good enough for a KO...we will see.

Leben over Silva, by KO (at least I hope so).
 
Meh... I'm not really feeling this card.

I could care less about Faber, Leben, Bader, and Ortiz.

My picks are Cruz, Silva, Condit, Siver, Sotiropoulos, and Njokuani.

I've seen a ton of fights outside clubs & whatnot after people have had one too many & I've never seen someone be KO'd with a punch or dropped with a punch followed by a barrage of stomps/kicks.

They all end up in a scuffling/grappling contest that usually results on them both hitting the deck. Knowing how to do a 'fancy' sweep to get a guy off you would be quite a good thing to know if he is raining down knuckles on your face.. :D
 
Cruz/Faber 2 is going to be an excellent fight. I could watch Cruz fight all day long. His style is amazingly spectacular. Leben vs. Wand should be good too. Both guys go after it no matter what. The only thing that could hold this back is an injury or something. I can see Wand's speed getting the better of Leben, but Wand could get caught by Leben's zombie walk and power too.

I've been a big Tito fan since 2003. The guy will always be one of my MMA favorites, but it's past time to hang it up. I hope he pulls something out of his ass against Bader, but I highly doubt it. He doesn't have much left while Bader is young and strong.

Oh yeah, Condit vs. DHK should be great too. Still can't put my finger on who to pick. Condit's weakness play into DHK's strengths, but Condit can really scramble and put in work to get the win from multiple places.
 
Njokuani is a beast!
Winner sure has a lot of heart though.

Surprised there wasn't a finish in this.
 
Wow.. nice TKO win for Carlos Condit.

Good to see a fighter not afraid to take some risks.

Seriously though, what a win. He put EVERYTHING he had into that guillotine.
