St.Croix Fri, 09 May 2008 14:07:04 +0000 http://www.mmahq.com/?p=1469#comment-14970 lol i think i have Iole figured out, he writes weird, random things that make you scratch your head but he scatters them threw out a story. maybe he does it just to keep you on your toes. it not a big issue for most because we know when hes full of sh*t, but the problem i have with him is newer fans reading his trash. if i was to ever meet Matt Hughes i kinda know what to expect (someone who thinks they are better then just about anybody) but someone like, lets say my Momma read that (she knows OF Hughes but know nothing about him) and then met him, she would be expecting a humble down to Earth guy and boy is that far from the truth. there is not a whole lot of truth being told by the press in all forms anymore from my local news paper right up to CNN and its sad that even sports writers are full of sh*t, aahhh whatever i guess thats why i like this site so much because at least Doc has the balls to say how he feels and im not gonna get banned from the site for saying how i feel. lol i think i have Iole figured out, he writes weird, random things that make you scratch your head but he scatters them threw out a story. maybe he does it just to keep you on your toes. it not a big issue for most because we know when hes full of sh*t, but the problem i have with him is newer fans reading his trash. if i was to ever meet Matt Hughes i kinda know what to expect (someone who thinks they are better then just about anybody) but someone like, lets say my Momma read that (she knows OF Hughes but know nothing about him) and then met him, she would be expecting a humble down to Earth guy and boy is that far from the truth. there is not a whole lot of truth being told by the press in all forms anymore from my local news paper right up to CNN and its sad that even sports writers are full of sh*t, aahhh whatever i guess thats why i like this site so much because at least Doc has the balls to say how he feels and im not gonna get banned from the site for saying how i feel.

This is what I do, so of course I said yes.” LOL do you even know who Hughes is Iole?? Kevin Iole douchebag comment of the week..

I think the most significant difference is the ability of fighters to stand up using the cage. I like the ground game and its frustrating for guys who expend alot of energy to get a takedown only to have a guy get back up fairly easily using the cage. The thing is, this allows guys with weaker BJJ and wrestling skills to basically get back in the fight, instead of having someone like Sherk lay on top of them with no hope of escape. The other thing is, when a guy is in trouble they always wrap their arms and body around the ropes hoping to stop the action and get a restart, get them out of trouble, get a small breather, etc.. With the cage, that wont happen, your stuck and the ref will not come to your rescue. Like Chuck vs Tito 1, Tito could have fallen through the ropes or something to stop the action and survive for a few more seconds. With his back to the cage though, he had nowhere to go short of climbing the fence and trying to escape in the crowd hehe. Holding the fence or the ropes to avoid a takedown happens equally in both situations so not much difference there.. As for the IFL i agree with Mad, it wont make much difference and they should concentrate on signing talent instead of worrying about the surface.

I actually like the the 6 sided rope ring idea....just not the IFL. Ropes do several things I find good. One they are not that easy to lean on...UFC more often than not clench against the fence, and restrict the opponents movements. Lots of fights turn into he can shove the other guy into the fence and keep him pinned there. Ropes also encourage more restarts, whether it be standing, or in the same position. It pauses the fight and makes the fighter rethink his position, and ultimately giving the guy on bottom more room to maneuver. Having ropes takes the cage as a weapon techniques almost completely out, allowing a much more natural fight. Lastely, and this just purely cosmetic, I think the cage still carries the "Human cock fighting" stigma with it. I’m completely with you on the rope thing.
