Yes, because athletes in legitimate sports like boxing, football, basketball, golf, tennis, baseball, etc. never put out self-serving ghostwritten "auto"biographies.

The promoter makes an enormous amount of money, and Frank takes off to run his own show now that his Strikeforce contract is up.
He's a big MMA fan - that's not new. He's been doing it to some extent or another since Shamrock was in the WWE/F.
It's either very easy or very hard, depending on whether or not you're willing to hurt them. If you're not (and that's true of most "restraint" scenarios, in my experience), even if your target...
Fear of legal repercussions, identity of the person in question (e.g. family), personal preference.
Principles speak to generalities and trends. There is no "always" but there is a "usually"....
You can add Iowa, Illinois, Missouri (amateur only, I believe), Ohio, New Jersey, Florida, Arizona, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Washington to that list, just off the top of my head.
I totally disagree with it. I've seen more than a few.
One little question about boxers in MMA - if their footwork is good enough to avoid grappling, why do they keep getting caught in clinches...
I believe that's known as "fair warning".
Ask Mark Coleman.
Royce beat (almost) everyone they put in front of him, and a lot of the people they wanted to put in front of him wouldn't show, but there were good guys who wanted in and...
You know Brock was an NCAA champ in 2000 and a finalist in '99, right?
Who do you plan to attract with a non-profit deal that, by definition, isn't making anybody any money?
Did you see Ricco? It wasn't that big a surprise.
It's the difference between training Muay Thai vs training Muay Thai, plus BJJ, plus wrestling. I thought that was obvious.
Oh, and Chambers winning an MMA fight shouldn't be too big a shock -...
I don't think anyone has a definitive answer for that - the record keeping just isn't good enough. My guess is late 20s and dropping. MMA used to be primarily the domain of guys who had stopped...
As SevenStar likes to say, good fighting looks like good fighting.
I gotta hand it to you, unkokusai - this thread is, as labelled, both epic and stupid.
Someone help me out though, as either I've lost track or skimming this thread has just made me stupider - who...
You mean like this?
Standing joint locks aren't high-percentage, but they're doable if you train them hard enough.
Not really. Mirko has very good takedown defense for a guy who never wrestled competitively, but "best in the world" is hyperbole at best. You can't compare his defensive wrestling to, say, a Randy...
If it's effective, I think it's pretty. See signature.
Because up north, people wear clothes.
If you lived in, say, Florida, you'd run into less-clad people, as a rule. Gi techniques don't work (without significant modification) on naked people. ...
Yes. Particularly if the "NS" in your location refers to Nova Scotia, you should be training with the gi for self defense.
Inside trips, as a rule, land you directly in the BJJer's guard. If you have zero ground fighting knowledge, not a good place to be.
The Cobra hold is basically a side neck/spine lock. Possibly the least efficient finishing hold I've seen in MMA since Mark Coleman's Side Headlock of Doom, but it is sweet looking.
Wrestling looks like wrestling? Crazy talk! :D
190's pretty small when the other guy is 260.
