The Matrix.. in real life

[PlasmaBomb]

I was impressed the guy did the bounce off the wall and planted the kick with the same leg.

I agree.

Wow.. didn't think it was legal to use the cage like that.

That is what my wife asked me last night. You cannot hold on to it, using it however, is taught in every MMA gym. You can "wall walk" it to get back to your feet. Use it to catch you, keep a guy from getting your back, push off for a superman punch, push off to help you get out of a bad position on the ground, and more.

But, guys who can use it for Parkour Fu? Not many, I'm thinking.

You have to be careful what you use it for, too; BJ Penn KTFO Sherk because he timed him bouncing off of it.

That last one is pretty cool.

I bolted upright and started bouncing on my couch like a school girl when Pettis landed that. Had he connected more with his shin I think it would have been a KO. He single handedly ended the existence of the WEC on a high note. I wanted Smooth to win but it's hard not to like Pettis after that fight and especially that kick.

What are people's thoughts on Dominic Cruz? His style can be fun to watch but can get a bit stale after five rounds. He also ended up not being able to pounce after scoring a knockdown because he ended up way out of position. great head movement though.

He is one of my favorite fighters. He is good wherever the fight goes, and attacks from angles. Most fighters use a MT methodology i.e. pretty squared up, moving forward, tough as nails and looking to win a war of attrition, mentality.

Dom constantly moves, strikes from angles, and does not stay on the centerline. Bonnar had the right idea though, throw body kicks a lot. The downside to all that head movement, dipping, and bobbing&weaving, is you can duck your head right into the body kick.

Everyone always sites that you can get taken down off the kick, which is a fact. But, the way some of us see it is this: If you cannot work of your back, sweep, or sub from there, you have a big hole in your game.

I thought both Pettis and Ben showed how useful dynamic kicking can be to have in your bag of tricks. It is MMA, fighters need to stop limiting their weapons for fear of consequences. No risk, no reward. /my opinion

Do you really want to beat that dead horse?

There are rules, a good number of them, that says everything, anyone intelligent enough to read this, needs to know, in order to answer the question.

Impressive display of athleticism. I still won't ever watch it, though.

the more you beat it the more tender it gets, so why not?

What's your point? These guys train for everything, not just to fight within rules. Not to mention like I said this is pretty much the purest "sport" out right now. I can understand not liking the sport, but only an ignorant person would call it stupid then say they like others sports.

People aren't giving Cruz enough credit. He throws a huge amount of feints which he uses to set up his strikes and takedowns. It's ridiculous the way he's taking down legit wrestlers at will.

No. The Cello isn't a sport.

I quite like Formula 1, not really a "replacement for war and true combat"

Really? I wonder who invented using vehicles for races?

Greeks and then perfected by the Romans. Not that chariot races were in any way, shape, or form a "replacement for war and true combat".....wait.....they were. Carry on.
