Or when they would grapple they would boo. I was thinking 🤔 “Do these idiots not realize this is “MIXED” Martial Arts?? If you wanna see people try to knock each other’s head off the entire time then go to your local tough man competition ffs which that’s the type of show 90% of that crowd should go to instead of paying tickets to watch a professional MMA match. People in the crowd had no respect for the fighters, the sport, or each other. We saw 4 fights break out in the crowd. I’ll never go to one in the USA again. I know people find the BJJ, Wrestling, etc boring but don’t be a jackass and boo the fighters for fighting in the different disciplines of martial arts. I’m a country boy. I grew up on a tobacco farm and was taught to have self respect, respect for others no mattter what ethnicity or gender and to have common courtesy. Common courtesy sure as hell is not very common. Lots of the people in that crowd were US military because the show was being held not that far from Fort Bragg. These people were probably the most disrespectful undisciplined lot of the crowd.

goddam fights in these times where crazy, kicks to the head when the guy is down and everything haha

[@misterkefir]

yeah.. exactly how mma should be

[@Joseph-lz5er]

Shogun was an absolute beast in Pride. So much stronger and more explosive. He must've been taking some good PEDs. Jackson on the other hand looks and fights the same. Probably one of the few fighters who didn't 'juice' in Pride.

[@dreamsofcosmicoceans8105]

False narrative. Rampage DID change the way he fights. He went from a guy who used to be grapple heavy to a guy who fell in love with his hands. It's a tale as old as the first wrestler that got the KO bug. Then all of a sudden, he got tired of facing grapplers. As for Shogun, him no longer being strong and explosive probably has a lot to do with the knee surgeries he's had for having a knee/kick heavy game.

[@Joseph-lz5er]

@@dreamsofcosmicoceans8105 You didn't watch Shogun's first fight in the UFC? He was only 28 years in his first fight there. He completely gassed and zero explosivness whatsoever. He literally had to rely on his heavy hands and nothing. Both Mark Coleman (42 year old at that time) and Forest Griffin tired him out.🤦‍♂️

[@Joseph-lz5er]

@@dreamsofcosmicoceans8105 In Pride, he had wars against Silva, Liddell 1, Randleman, and no, he was not grapple heavy. He relied a lot on his left hook and overhand right. Watch his fights. He fought against grapplers and thus he had to adjust to the ground, e.g when he fought Sakuraba and Arona. And in Pride, grappling was more accepted than UFC and so he grappled more but he was without a doubt a striker as well.

[@Celticsaint777]

So just because a non black athlete won you have to accuse him of being on peds?

[@Joseph-lz5er]

@@Celticsaint777 Why does this have to be about race? My favorite fighter was Fedor and he white. You race baiter. 👺

Rampage is an interesting fighter. You can tell he has a wealth of tools but always seemed to turn into a one dimensional fighter.

[@nihatgurbuz4175]

Beating rampage, overeem and nogueira… Man… Shogun was the only man who has same tier with Fedor Emelianenko in Pride Era.

Literally isn’t even in the top 20 of all time let alone the top 3..you have no idea how much the sport has evolved , because you have no background in the sport . Shogun in his prime would get absolutely rag dolled by anybody in the top 15 right now .

1:32.... The second knee was the one that broke it.... Rampage was done after that. Anyone who's ever broken a rib knows that continuing any type of strenuous activity (especially fighting) is not going to happen. Got to give Rampage props for not throwing in the towel and continuing, knowing a KO was inevitable.

[@douglasnogueira56]

Ninguém percebeu, mas o que minou todo gás só rampage nessa luta foi uma joelhada que o shogun acertou no plexo dele logo no início do round.. tanto é que após o término, o rampage ficou apontando a região do plexo... Quem já tomou pancada forte nessa região sabe o quanto tira totalmente seu gás.

Sem tirar os méritos do Shogun, Isso explica o desempenho abaixo do normal do seu adversário.

[@amaurileiteferreirajunior8237]

@@Luiz-lx3oz Mas o dano foi causado pelo Shogun, então, o baixo desempenho do adversário foi consequência desse dano.

[@Luiz-lx3oz]

@@amaurileiteferreirajunior8237 Sim, sim, amigo. Por analogia, o que aconteceu é meio parecido com um jogo onde um dos adversários numa jogada de pura felicidade e sem muita pretensões faz um gol decisivo em poucos segundos do início da partida o qual se torna determinante para o resultado final. Sem tirar os méritos do excepcional Shogum daquela época, um pouco de sorte em qualquer atividade humana será sempre bem vinda e faz parte da vida esportiva.
