It kinda was though. You could see Morecraft get mad and just start wildly swinging/flailing away and that's when Struve manages to catch him.

Also Mayweather-Ortiz was a completely different scenario.

The angle is not good in the video post above, which is what I was reacting to. Faking a glove touch and then pulling it back to throw is douchey, but I wish it would happen more often so people would quit touching gloves to start every round.

It seems like the glove touch takes a degree of strategy out of the start of the fight. Can't really do the bum-rush thing if you're having a polite exchange. Along those lines, I agree that faking the touch is sketchy, but think striking at the pre-emptive glove-toucher who hasn't shared the nod is ok.

Does the girl who didn't touch have a history of touching gloves? If she has never touched before and usually comes out swinging it just seems like poor game planning and a tough break.

Either touching up or blitzkreiging are the only respectable ways to go about it imo. As a fan of course I prefer the latter.

Touch gloves before bell rings when ref brings u to center.

I like to circle immediately or fake and rush in to exchange, i do t like touching glOves after bell rings...

My mindset changes after bell rings, i am a clean fighter but i want to hurt you and get busy right away.

Not a huge deal but mentally i dont like to touch after bell rings.

So... I read this right... he went to a grappling class, and every time before he was tapped out, he would make a circle motion like he had a knife and was about to stab them, then tapped? Just to let them know what would really happen? Because we all know when he was tapping then, that wasn't really happening.

Seems like a clear angle shoot.

Impossible to "clearly" see this considering the resolution, framerate, and camera angle.

I tried to view it frame by frame, and the best I can make out is that when she has her left hand out, her right is already winding up.

Thoughts on guida maynard? Seems like gray should be a huge fav, but probably a very cool fight despite of that.

Can we do that game that we did? This month is really slow and I'm bored with DBLbarrelJ. I didn't play it but it was still fun to watch.

Hopefully not. Getting more than 4 worst poster votes would wreck my fragile soul.

You got more than zero last time? Yikes. Maybe my "Could I take Cruz" scion will take some of the heat off you.

Either she's one of the only trained fighters ever that blitzcreig with their lead hand fully extended, or it was an angle shoot.

Will you stop saying blitzcreig? Jesus. It's blitzkrieg, and you sound like an idiot saying that.

This is my friends fight from this weekend, not true MMA because its a weird event but still decent first time experience. He is under 18 to errr just turning 18, so he has to wear headgear and crap... which sucks because they spend more time fixing the **** then fighting. I am off to the left screaming random instructions like Kieth Florian. Lands a nice headkick and gave the kid a swollen black eye with it, so worked out pretty well. His background is BJJ and this kid has 50 lbs on him and was a "kickboxer" so I thought he did ok.

My other guys got 2 silvers in the BJJ tournament to, overall pretty good weekend.
