WTF is UFC?

WTF is UFC?

now UFC is one bloody motherf_cking sport. if girls (on a general level) don't have taste for the athelticism of the contenders at least they can apreciate the lurid scenes of the suffering.

okay, this point - that all humans have a taste for the lurid - I could just defend by saying "hey, this point isn't even controversial. those familiar with the topic mostly agree and it was even used as a joke on The Simpsons." But I'll point the the usual example anyway. We enjoy horror movies. ta da!!! In any case it would be more interesting if we just take this point for granted and move on.

I also think it's one of my tinygirl fantasies to be able to kick the s--- out of some nasty b----, and nunna that chickfight hairpulling and puppy whimpering crap. Like, fists and feet to the face. But I'm a delicate little flower, so I can't. heh.

Probably because my dad is the ultimate macho-man and all he ever does is try to find an excuse to beat up men in my life. :)

If executed just so, will the victim look like a mutilated thanksgiving turkey? [/bloodlust]

Good question. Please enlighten those of us who aren't sutured to the tube.

Personally I find it - and many other "sports" - boring.

The first (and last) time I watched UFC I fell asleep. Serisously. I didnt have a problem with the gore or anything like that - but as ma cherry said, its kinda stupid. Its boring. Theres 2 dudes. slapping each other. for like an hour. thats it..?

Theres nothing interesting about that. You see one you've seen em all. Same thing with american football if you ask me (but thats another thread entirely). Theres virtually no room for progressive advancement. In rock climbing you see people constantly pushing and exceeding what was previously thought to be humanly impossible (i.e. climbing 5.15, crimping on wee little credit card sized grips, etc.). In UFC - the guy throws a punch or a kick - the other guy bleeds, maybe even gets knocked out. Ummm so what? That happens all the time. And often in more creative ways than sticking them in a cage together and saying go at it.

Sorry but, its stupid. I'd be entirely in favor of bringing back ancient Roman style entertainment when they would throw them in a pit with a lion or something though.

Saying that people have a taste for the lurid is just obsurd. I'd say a well-balanced person raised in a good environment would be compassionate in most cases where someone else is suffering. If you're messed up or raised in a pretty bad environment I could see how you'd have some morbid fascination with pain being inflicted upon another human being. I say this because I believe that all humans have a predisposition to relating to how other humans feel (rather than saying we have a predisposition to relate to the lurid or the compassionate). So if you're a good, balanced person you'll be most likely to help someone who's fallen down. If you're screwed up in the head, you might laugh at an old lady falling and breaking her hip.

Honestly, Gene, the more you post, the more I'm convinced that you are outspokenly clueless when it comes to women and relationships.

And what prcisely do you think you know about my character ??? On the internet, I am a character; no more and no less.

All humans have a taste for lurid, grisly scenes and we're all familier with that trite example of both men and women driving down a highway and turning their heads in order to watch whatever such accident occurs. They feel compelled to look owing (many agree) to some pleasure they get. this pleasure that compels is consistent with thier feeling sympathy and care for others. That is, just because you care about others suffering and wish that they didn't suffer you can still have an unavoidable taste for the grisly scences of their suffering - e.g., horror movies.

So what.

These are trained mixed martial artists. All black belts in their sport. Not just guys slapping at each other. Watching chess is boring to but if you know what is actually going on you can appreciate it.

now to get this topic on some kind of track, why do you think there such distinctions when dealing with images of pain and suffering?

I think watching climbing is pretty damn boring, no matter how good and/or hard the climbing and climber are. The only thing remotely entertaining is watching a good dyno exhibition.

I also know how to climb, so the vicarious kick isn't there either.

Right. violence is so f---ing cool. Having spent 4 yrs in TKD, I couldn't wait for my chance to beat the s--- out of someone for looking at me cross-eyed and basically s--- all over the whole concept of martial arts. And when the chance came and I spiked the poor individual's head off the hood of some s--- Yugo because he happened to f--- with me when I was drunk and stupid, well, it made me realize exactly how far out of the trees our species hasn't come. You know, just can't get enough violence. Anyone see the unrated version of High Tension? I actually sported wood during the scene with the circular saw. Where's my woman at? I feel the need to kick her ass around the house a little.

Well, the problem as I see it is not the competitors, it's the rules, which do reduce serious competitors to slapping.

As an example, what do you do if someone rushes your legs for a takedown? Now, if that were me, I'd just kick or knee that person in the face.
But in UFC, you can't do that because it's against the rules. Which makes a takedown safe and easy.

Similarly, if an opponent is on the ground and you're standing up, what do you do? Well, my personal preference is to stamp on them. If they try to use their legs to defend, it's no big deal, just stamp on their feet and legs. But again, in UFC, stamping's not allowed.

the informal fights I've been in have been in bars, houses, clubs, cars, stairwells and the like.

Why do you get in so many fights?

How has such a propensity toward violence put you in jail or cost you relationships or jobs?

Was it all self-defense? Did fighting solve some problem effectively?

Knives and guns being drawn are a real possibility, aren't they?

And you'd be a "fighter" would you rufus?

:lol:

Sounds very macho.

Tell me, if someone rushes their face towards your knees, what's complicated or dangerous about kneeing them in the face? Similarly, If someone's lying down, what's difficult or dangerous about stamping on them? Toes and feet are delicate things and it's suprisingly hard to fight when they're broken.

I'd be interested to hear what your specific objections would be to these techniques. Of course, I've primarily used them in fights in the controlled environment of a training session or competition - it's true that I'm not really that experienced at fighting in the street since most of the informal fights I've been in have been in bars, houses, clubs, cars, stairwells and the like.

s---. You know all of the fights you've been in have been in the stands at soccer (I mean football) games. You Hooligan.

stfu.....there's a difference between curiosity and and watching a fight....there's just alot of rambling and nothing solid in your post....girls typically don't like violence...THERE"S YOUR f---ing ANSWER :roll:

i feel dumber for reading your post

:(

The more ironic s--- you type the more you demonstrate you have no idea what you are typing about.

Not so much "do" as "did".

Hers a couple of things i know:

they will be more than happy to hand you your ass on silver platter

Gene,

Stop pouting and sack up. You opened a thread about tough guys, and now you are pouting, because someone verbally challenged you. You might not be a street fighter, although your education should have supplied you with enough savvy to verbally bite back. Get back in there and fight, man. Don't take crap from that tree hugger. Verbally excoriate him until he taps out cries for his mommy.

listen, the :cry: was meant in irony - meaning: "I don't give a f_ck"

sheesh, I'm not sure if you guys, Rufus and wcja, noticed and if you guys did you sure did a good job of fustrating my intended sarcasm and reduced me to a supreme mollycoddle or something. thanks a lot _ssh_les :wink:
