    Media What did you make of the backflip that landed a shin to Potieras chin?

    12. Kneeing and/or Kicking the head of a grounded opponent. https://www.abcboxing.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/unified-rules-mma-2019.pdf Kneeing, as a verb, it's different from having your knee hitting the head during a (absurd) guard pass. Perfectly legal in my opinion. The ruling is very...

    Media Alex Pereira Says He's Fighting vs Jiri Prochazka NEXT - "Giving Up" On Moving To Heavyweight

    On "shoulds", he should have a DQ loss in his first fight against Johnny Walker. Ankalaev is being a diva wanting to fight in UAE. Trying to dictate where and when a title fight should take place while just being the challenger lol Let him wait and let the Champ be active.

    Where does Yoel Romero rank in MW History?

    Romero's win over Jacaré was more of a "robbery" than his second loss against Bobby.

    BYD overtaking Tesla

    IIRC they already surpassed Tesla a couple months ago. My friend has a BYD Dolphin and it's a pretty damn good car for its price range. I think they're selling well in Europe too.

    Media Throwback: McGregor dismantling Max Holloway

    Because context matters. Holloway was a kid when they fought. Dustin is a good win but he wasn't at his best at 145, and he mauling Conor twice after that kind of hurts his case. Mendes was great and a consistent #2 during the Aldo years, but he rolled straight out of the couch to fight Conor...

    Wasn't it the fight when Conor had to resort to panic wrestling?

    Law Substitute teacher KO's student for using racial slur

    You know the intent is not to call her a person who carries things or whatever a coolie originally meant, it's a racist slur used to attack the girl for her origin.

    Law Substitute teacher KO's student for using racial slur

    Try calling a brazilian black man "macaco" or "crioulo" in the middle of an argument and see what happens. It's not US-specific.

    Law Substitute teacher KO's student for using racial slur

    It's just a similar power dynamics. In America (continent) race was the main tool of domination so the most aggressive slurs are racial. In other parts of the world country of origin, religion or whatever carry more weight. But they all work more or less the same.

    Law Substitute teacher KO's student for using racial slur

    There are derogatory words that japanese, korean and chinese use that are very offensive. Probably not going to end in violence because they're more restrained cultures but those words carry a lot of weight. And try to make jokes with 9/11 among americans and chances are you're going to throw down.

    Law Substitute teacher KO's student for using racial slur

    It's not that they're calling YOU the N word. It's the fact that they're saying it at all. It conveys a meaning that not only the speaker is racist, but it's down to use the racism to attack. It's a declaration of war. In a way, it's like a spit. It doesn't hurt (slim chances of disease aside...

    People complain about fighting in Brazil all the time. Sometimes rightfully, other times not.

    Media Chris Weidman compares Alex Pereira to Ben Askren: ‘It’s such a deficiency in what we’ve seen so far’

    Poatan wasn't protected as much, since good wrestlers were injured, unavailable or don't exist at 185/205 while he made his title run. He was lucky in a way, but just laying on top of him won't do much when he gets up at 5:00 and then chops your leg down or left hook you into Bolivia in the...

    Why is boxing still producing bigger stars than MMA?

    UFC is terrible at promoting their fighters (probably intentional as mentioned above).
