Wrestling is a beautiful thing.

Period.

End. 

nowaydo - Period.

This. Now go to the Stipe vs Ngannou thread and witness some retardation at its finest. They are actually using the term “pro wrestling rest hold”

Been out of the loop for a while.   Lots of people staying Stupe

took the belt from Dana because of “disrespect”.

whats been going on?

Who knows, Miocic immediately turned around saw Dana, took the belt out of his hand and gave it to his coach to put on him and Dana immediately walked out of the cage.

Maybe Stipe was pissed Dana/UFC overlooked him?

Wish I wrestled at a young age, or that wrestling was as available as BJJ 

This fight was a bore. Look at the way Cain dismantled Lesnar and JDS. That was being active. Stipe laid on a fighter whose only skill (haymakers) was gone in the first minute of the fight.

Too bad it was supposed to be a fight and we got Iowa ride’s and whatever other wrestling bullcrap you were talking about. It’s like watching 15 min of backmount from Maia. Yeah it’s great BJJ but not real compelling as a FIGHT! Aside from the first few minutes, that was one of my least favorite fights of all time.

You know this is what you really want

I think tonight showed that a strong ground game outweighs a strong striking game. 

Chael

Stipe

DC

Rory

All won with their ground game.  

Moist Gracie - 

And what was that Dom was talking about Stipe having a “keylock” on Francis’s leg. That’s an Iowa motherfucker. 

Respect to Dom. He was also mischaracterizing a spiral ride.

Go watch a boxing match.  That fight was fucking awesome to watch.  

Watching stipe lock down Francis with that 3/4 full Nelson (or whatever it's called) was the most fascinating part of the fight.  I was in awe of the control that position allowed stipe.   

Total big brother/ bully move.  Fucking awesome.

Again!

But ironically, I did not want wrestling to be effective in this fight, as a Hunt fan.

Good job, Curtis.

wrestling is the worst, it’s effective though.

Standup is 99% stalling nowadays. Dancing around, feinting, pawing, distance gauging, running, resetting, etc.
