>inb4 ‘they’re just fat middleweights’If that were true then they’d have to be more skilled to make up for such a physical disadvantage whilst competing at a high level.
Low depth of play because most big men play team sports. No top end weight above them to gauge themselves from in training. Very easy to be comfortable being the literal big fish in whatever pond until you actually have to fight someone your size who doesn't care if you show up tomorrow.
>>195786>t. tai tuivasa
>>195783I remember when Nelson first stepped on the scene and people I knew were complaining that he used fat kid tactics to win fights.How can you consider yourself an "ultimate fighter" if a fat guy can beat you by lying on top of you?
Knock out power doesn't need skill.

>>195974I dont want to spend the hour doing calisthenics and army crawls up and down the mat and unsafe shit like neck bridges Genuinely a waste of my time
>>195976>unsafe shit like neck bridgesIf you can't do a neck bridge safely you're not in good grappling shape and need remedial attention. The instructor wouldn't need to take time to assess and correct the baseline fitness level if people would show up to class in shape.
>>195978>instructor wouldn't need to take time to assess and correct the baseline fitness level if people would show up to class in shape.The overweight judo instructor with multiple surgical replacements and no formal education in exercise physiology you mean?The neck bridge, like the dead lift, has no benefit that cannot be achieved through other less risky exercises
>>187782I how is judo for submission grappling? the gym I go to now isn't great for the stand up aspect.

Odds on this guy being this first Musashigawa sekitori in a decade?
Guy turns 24 this year so he's probably nearing but yet to hit his prime. However he has never fought anyone higher than Ms6, so I wouldn't count on it at least for Natsu, maybe sometime this year or next year though.
when will this faggot fight again? I like his style and he definitely beat Sean, but when is he gonna defend that title against the Bugman?
izzy mad cus hes actually african
>>195894>305Is UFC finally bringing in the Titanweight Weightclass?
>>195798>>195894I hate Izzy and and think that he's overrated, I also love DDP, but he absolutely drops DDP because DDP is sloppy. Izzy is a master at counterstriking.
>>196025He was, but after getting KO'd he's gunshy now
>>196027No he really isn't, unless Dricus bombs him pretty fast, he's going to win and be champ again
Grappling causes skin infections
>>195987because you're paying for a service, just like how you don't need to wash your own dishes at a restaurant or the toilets at school
>>195994Doing that it's part of the "martial art" experience
>>195996No it's part of an ego tripping hierarchical grift where a business owner brainwashed paying customers to maintain his propertyDoing chores is strictly reserved for people who aren't paying so they bartered their time to be use as currency insteadSuch as a club where everyone is there pretty much on a volunteer basis, or whatever modest dues collected are for purchasing shared equipment or renting the spaceNot when it's a fucking for profit business
>>195907Start your own competing business that holds higher standards and run the non mat washer out of business

Seems the gap is closing. Thoughts?
>>141636Does anyone else feel like MMA/combat sports are the sports in which the gap will never even come close to being closed.Reaction time, Strength, Cardio. All of these things are crucial for combat sports.But the biggest reason I think that is mentality. The mentality required to be elite at say MMA is way way more common in men than it is in women. There's barely any women in the ufc that trash talk and go to wars. Sure it happens but not nearly as much as it does in the men's game.

I has job security because nobody had my skill setSo like for example I had a group with 20something 7-11 year Olds in it and I made them all stand in a line at the beginning and I said there's a lot of you in here and only one of me, so there won't be any warnings, if you don't listen you're out and that's itWell 2 seconds later 2 boys are wrestling on the ground so they were made an example of and banished immediatelyThen their affluent Karen moms complained to me about how its unfair and they bring there kids here specifically for class and they're working moms and they're just kids. And I said you know who else are kids? The 20 other ones in the room that listened to what I was saying

>>195984What is this goofy ass shit? Why is he using a saber with a parrying dagger? And why is the saber user going forwards instead of going breaking distance into neutral after getting parried? Looks like some lame choreography thing.
Not sure if this is supposed to go on /xs/ or /sp/, but what do you think of the sport? All I see on here is HEMA.I'm trying to get into it and I'm looking to pick up some gear. I probably want to fence Epee. Any recommendations? The club has gear, but a lot of it is gross and sometimes not working, especially for left handed stuff.
