It should be illegal unless you’re Max Holloway. Instant point deduction, straight DQ if you do it twice. Red card. Fuck off. I actually cringe when anyone but Max does it.

Is this Valter/Johnny Walker feud for real? Or are they on the windup, i can't tell with the weird fuckers.

Alberto Del Rio out there catching L's against Mexican Youtube influencers. What a sorry state of affairs.

Been watching some Russian shows from the early days of MMA, christ almighty. The state of some fighters.

Then there was this fight...

After seeing all Datsik's clowing around I made the mistake of looking to see if he'd actually fought again, and it turns out not only did be beat Andrei Arlovski in his debut fight but he's also somewhat of an unsavoury character as well.

Despite me having somewhat fond memories of the pre-MMA days of vale tudo, no holds barred or whatever else it was called at the time, I'm happy to say that, like usual, Joe Rogan is 100% wrong in his calls for no rounds and judges. There's way too many long, turgid fights with neither fighter being able to do enough damage to end the fight, so lots of stalemates with not much happening for long periods of time. Having rounds and time limits definitely makes things way more viewer-friendly.

Rogan also used to advocate for the abolishment of position resets due to inactivity. Which would mean lots of fights where the fighters would remain stuck to the fence, or laying and praying, without much actually happening. 

So yes, his ideal vision for MMA wasn't viewer friendly at all.
