Memorable Displays of Heart

[MigitAs]

Frank Mir was almost asleep taking a pounding from Nogeira, he described that he was face down seeing nothing but darkness.

Then he pulls off the greatest HW grappling sequence in MMA history while being in a zombie like state against what was supposed to be a BJJ legend.


Frank had more moments like that in his career. If you beat him down you better finish him because he's gonna rip something off your torso if you don't.

The way nog just looks at his arm.

Rockhold vs. Costa

 

[OleBuffalo]

Brock vs Carwin ?
Or was that just due to Carwin gassing ?

Carwin def gassed, but Brock surviving that first round was gritty for sure

 

[Khaosan]

Jones almost had his arm snapped off, but didn't tap, kept fighting and won by 4th round submission

The Lord gave him strength.

Spoiler

No really, a dealer with the street name Lord sold him steroids.

TJ fighting with a clearly compromised shoulder was impressive to me.
I don’t like the guy but really admire his desire to compete/win

 

[SkinnyClaw]

For me it's always Hooker taking a beating from Barboza

ITT: fighters getting praised for suffering life-changing beat downs and still walking forward.

 

[Reverse Baratoplata Sweep]

Saint Denis vs. Dos Santos - bless judge for not stopping that
Mokaev vs. Filho - not tapping to that kneebar showed what Mokaev is all about
Movsar Evloev every time he gets guillotined:

Kalib Starnes against Nate Quarry.

It's easy to quit when your calves are burning and your thighs are jelly. The voice in your head tells you you need to stop, and you're not sure you can go on.

But damn it, your 6 year old kid wrote in crayon on your sponsor form pledging 49 cents if you complete your marathon.

Nothings gonna stop you now.

That's heart, ladies and gentlemen.
