Hahaha, that was a cheap shot!
No it wasn’t, the fighter had skill and totally deserved the win
It’s easy to say that when you’re not in the ring
I’m an experienced combat sports athlete and I know what a good technique looks like
That’s nice, but your opinion doesn’t make it fact
Oh yes it does! The crowd agreed with me too.
Crowds are easily swayed – they don’t understand what they’re watching most of the time
What? You can’t be serious!? People know exactly what they’re seeing when they watch fights.
Sure, if all you care about is knockouts. But there’s so much more to MMA than just KO’s.
Don’t lecture me on MMA – for your information I’ve been studying martial arts for over 10 years now
Wow okay…I didn’t need to hear your whole life story. Let’s get back on topic here instead.
