Won fights?
What fights?, The ones that were predetermined sir?

 

[BLIND]

So we should ban fighters who have sustained injuries such that they require metal implants?

Where does that begin and end? Plates in arms, legs, screws holding things together, metal isn't exactly uncommon in orthopedics, and having to deal with the recovery, arthritis, and other shit that goes with orthopedic surgery and implants aren't exactly giving competitive advantages.

"PAY FIGHTERS MORE!..."

"... unless they got metal holding them together, fuck those guys"

Yup, Timy Sylvia with the metal arm, Anderson Silva with the metal shin, etc. I think Josh Emmet must have some metal in his face after Stephens smashed him

That would make it easier to break the bone around said "metal plates".

bingo. people don't realize metal plates don't make you stronger because they're screwed into OTHER BONE. so when the metal plate takes the impact all of the impact is being concentrated into the screws that holding the plate onto the bone. you don't know how many times i've had to explain this to people who think Conor's leg is now a metal bat.

 

[Neck&Neck]

I would just get a metal face

It's obviously made of a rubbery balloon like material.

 

[HavokHarmon]

Makes me wonder what Fedors hands were made out of.

 

[Vil7]

Never heard that 1 before.

 

[dogsdonutsdragons]

there are a few surgical things done that can enhance a fighter. look at some surgical history for some guys known to throw hard punches or take hard shots in specific locations.

 

[dogsdonutsdragons]

its a really good podcast. been watching each one.

 

[USA!USA!]

jesus not a whole lot of brain cells in that room of 3 people. 2 of the dumbest fighters of all time lol - respect tho

 

[HereticBD]

Dude was run over by a truck, no? It's not implausible that some facial reconstruction may have been necessary at some point, for whatever reason. Not to mention that he's been cracked in the face a few thousand times over his career. I'm surprised that most of them don't have some metal plates in their faces.

Not saying it's true, but it's not out of this world.

Conor has titanium in his leg
Bisping has a laser instead of an eye
so what.

 

[Conor Strickland]

Metal Nog <45>

'Terminator' Nog

 

[wwkirk]

And he ended up breaking his hands on Nogs metal plates. He says he thinks he had them since that truck accident when Nog was a kid. Which would mean he had them throughout his whole career.

Maybe I'm out of the loop but I never heard that before. Idk if that's true or not, but it seems like that shouldn't be legal.

Have you guys heard about that before? And if it's true, should that even be allowed?

His face or his head? Did he have plates in his cheeks? Doesn't seem likely.

 

[HHJ]

Fedor bashed him around for 3 fights,you don't hear him complaining.

 

[Wilmer Digreux]

He said face, and pointed to his cheeks or orbital bones.

 

[Wilmer Digreux]

Fedor bashed him around for 3 fights,you don't hear him complaining.

Fedor did break his hands a lot though. I can't remember if he broke them in any of the Nog fights or not.

I mean iron chin or no,the way he threw everything into it it's no wonder.
