NFL Red Zone's Andrew Siciliano Shits on MMA

[Berowsk]

He is?

I've always known for some reason that Blade and Martial Arts go hand and hand. IDK why, may have just been something passing that I remember about him.

There are many martial artist that are casual fans if not fans at all of MMA, I would say the majority are casual, go to a karate, kung fu, TKD, aikido, etc... school and see for yourself, a lot of bjj guys don't even follow MMA hardcore

Not saying Blade is casual, but not knowing jon jones name is strange, he is the champ of the most well known org, tough to forget that

Following the UFC only makes you a casual mma fan and a hardcore ufc fan, there is a difference

There it's even a small percentage of hardcores in the MMA community, they're not the majority

[Berowsk]

I'd consider somebody like Blade, who has participated in a sport where it's performed on an individual basis, as somebody more knowledgeable about the sport than some armchair fatass who studies the fighters and their individual styles and considers themselves a "hardcore MMA fan," (not saying you're some fatass or something, Rob).

Fighters come and go, experience will never leave you.

You would be wrong (not saying blade), a 20 year plus kung fu or karate guy that has no wrestling, bjj, ground fighting, etc...that did karate tournaments which are not full contact, practices on self defense, and does katas has no idea what's going on in MMA just from training a martial art

MMA itself is a totally different sport, it's not really 'style vs style' like in 1993, which showed the myths of the karate/kung fu man in an actually fight environment with minimal rules

A 'hardcore fan' follows the sport, that's pretty much it, if you train it's a plus, but usually in disciplines that have strong MMA roots

Well when you are at work and its getting to be quitting time, you kinda forget a lot of things except for getting the fuck out of work

By the time I got home I was like oh yeah!!! That's dude I have been calling The Martian this whole time, if you follow DC comics you would know what I am talkin about ;)

[Blade]

The thing that really kills me when I am out and about and it happens to be a UFC night, is that the bars and clubs are filled with these d-bags who more than likely don't even know how to throw a punch and stand around watching the one big fight of the night and empty out like it's curfew time once the fight is over. I mean I am pretty sure a lot of these morons have never been in a fight or even know what it feels like when you get punched in the jaw or gut.

Rampage/Jones fight was prime example of that, all these people hanging out yelling and screaming whenever Rampage did any of his futile attacks that missed even though from my count he might have landed 10-15% of his punches where as Jones was moving around and throwing some effective jabs that can disorient a person, but the crowd didn't go "Oooh"or "Ahh" when Jones did that, terrible. As soon as the fight was over 90% of the bar cleared out, these are the fans that annoy the hell out of me when I go out for a UFC night or any other promo. I rather just watch this shit on PPV at home with a bunch of friends.

You're angry that people who went to watch the fight LEFT after the fight was done? And also somehow have a problem that majority of these people have probably never been IN a fight yet enjoy watching MMA?

Backwards logic is in high effect here.
