Flint is a city in Michigan which is a big Democratic state and also votes on Tuesday. News outlets will show that she supports them in their headlines, neglecting to mention that Bernie does the same. Because 70% of people here only read the headlines.
Also as a Brit you get Bernie's brother over there. Larry Sanders. lol.
I'm wondering if Conor gave up the neck as an out. Seemed like he wanted it to end since he didnt try to defend it at all.
I dunno, looks like he tried to get out but got flattened out and subbed.
yeah that's certainly a possibility. He might have been rattled from the punches and not thinking at that point.
but hard not to think he did indeed check out watching the footage, and I'm still swinging off his nuts
The thought of getting slapped around, flipped off, then lights turned out was too embarrassing, so his high fight iq made the quick adjustment setup the rnc with his panic wrastling.
Except Ronda actually has victories by one punch KO as well as submissions. I guess you can say she got exposed as not having the elite boxing skills of a champion boxer but that's not really being exposed since that was expected.
Not to mention Holm said she wanted a long break after this fight. What's up with that?! It appears Holm has been shook and I'm not sure if she ever comes back. I think her long break is going to turn into a permanent one.
I think he had no way out of getting from mount, ate 4 clean shots, and had to turn to not take more damage. Even with the loss he still has a good chance for UFC 200...without getting battered...turning the back was a good move...I'd like to have seen him fight the choke a bit more, but hey...Diaz gave no chance, he put the squeeze on and it was pretty much over when Conor shot in.
my point was Conor did not avoid the ground against Holloway, and Holm also took Ronda down.
Good posting, FTB.I see people on here and on other social media saying McGregor and Holm got exposed.
Let's get real, we already knew before last night's fights that both weren't the best grapplers, right? So we didn't need to see them actually lose by RNC last night to know this, we've all followed MMA for years and we know how styles make fights. So how did they get exposed again?
Did anyone on this forum really look at Conor like he was the most unstoppable, most skilled fighter we've ever seen before? No. We knew his boxing and trash-talking game were top-notch. But with the exception to Mendes who also took a short notice fight, all of McGregor's victories occurred exclusively in the stand-up. Neither Holly or Conor really proved themselves as grapplers and from what we've seen and read, it's safe to say neither is winning an ADCC, EBI or Olympic wrestling gold medal anytime soon.
Professional fighters on here, correct me if I'm wrong, but MMA is a three pronged sport: stand-up, ground and what I call the transition arts (freestyle wrestling, judo, Greco Roman, etc.), the arts where you don't really finish the fight so much as you transition from stand-up to ground and vice versa, basically controlling where the fight is fought. All three are needed at any given time in this sport, all three can be used strategically to throw someone off their game and hardcore MMA fans get this.
I was just surprised to see so many people on here - the hardest of the hardcore MMA forums
Holly got hit with left and was dazed. Holm instinctively went for the clinch because she was hurt. Yea she took her down but it wasn't planned. It sorta just happened.
