MMAmania.com Who benifits the most from the rules and point system in mma?? And how can it be more fair??


What a week we have ahead of us!! This month kicks ass for mma fans!!!! lots of smoking goin on thats for sure.. no not cigs. gross ewe gross, but you can throw a fat dip of grizzly in your lip, i approve. time to get to the point, we see many match ups in mma where it is the striker vs. the grappler. Many people believe the grappler has the advantage over the striker because of getting point for takedowns. the rest of the people believe the striker has the advantage because the fight starts standing and the fight is brought back to the standing posistion if there is a lack of movement and a lack of ground n pound. this is always good for the stand up fighter. i personally hate it when the ref stands the fighters up because the ground fighter has worked his ass off to get the fight to the ground, and usually has taken a few nice shots to the dome for his efforts. If the striker cannot get back to his feet bummer for him looks like he looses that round and better be on point with his sprawl in the next round. But mma is for entertainment and the fans want a slug fest. understandable but it just aint right. Nobody wants to watch a boring ass fight with a wrestler who cant inflict damage and just hugs his opponent. But thats MMA this isnt K-1 !!! or muay thai tournys... You never see the ref say well you guys are not hitting each other enough go to the ground and fight now, sounds dumb but it should go both ways. if the grappler cant do anything on the ground its stood up, Back in the strikers world. If the striker cant do anything on his feet then what happens?? we watch them circle eachother and paw at each other.. nope there is no bring it to the ground back in the grapplers world. How can this be fair?? what needs to change about the rules?? should a fight be determined by take downs?? cuz that's what happens all the time. should we be OK with that? Do the mma fans have a say?? will the rules and point system ever change?? and should they change anyways? The fighter on his back doesn't get points for not allowing the fighter on top to advance and not allowing him to do damage, Should he get points? i think so. its just as hard if not harder to stop somone from submitting you as it is to submit someone. There are many different opinions on this.

   here is a little poll for those who dont like to post and only vote.. u know who u r.

MMAmania.com WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FORM OF MARTIAL ARTS USED IN MMA?


First off they are all very important to be an elite mma fighter. Some fighters really only need one way to win, The striker always will have the first advantage as the fight starts standing. A striker is only a striker without takedown defence. if he cant be taken down its a bad night for the other guy. If the striker has fast and powerful strikes they are useless if the grappler can take him down at will and gnp him out for a victory. but if u have a grappler vs. a grappler it usaully seems to cancel out eachother and it becomes a kickboxing match.  Almost All fights end up on the ground at some point. the bjj guy will always have an edge over anyone on the ground, even the wrestlers. bjj  can end a fight as fast as a knockout somtimes faster. However i believe wrestlers have the best base and is the foundation of mma. Wrestlers can dictate the pase of the fight and choose where the fight takes place, if they want it on the ground they do so with a nice takedown, if they want a stand up battle they can use the wrestling in reverse and not get taken down, (chuck). and if your fighting a elite wrestler and he has very good stand up and your getting your ass kicked good luck trying to get that takedown.. and this is why its called MIXED MARTIAL ARTS. if your not well rounded you will get your ass beat.. fast and often. personally ive been focusing on my stand up as i have a good ground game and if i can have a better striking it will make my ground game even better cuz they wont want to stand with me. so i was curious what the maniacs think is the most important to know. and dont answer none cuz u need to know all aspects of the fight game. DUH NO SHIT!  just pick one and say why u feel its more important than the others.

MMAmania.com what do you do in your spare time besides rant on mania???

Every man dies, but not every man truly lives. What is considered living anyways?? I'm a 25 year old single father who has no money, no nice car, no nice house. Being a father has saved my life and gave me a reason for moving forward. So having a son to take care of has helped me take my mma training seriously as i have a mouth to feed besides mine, its ok if i have to go without ive gotten used to my stomach being empty,, but the little man needs  his num nums. so all i do is train and be daddy.. wait i do like to game it up on the xbox tho. im so addicted to COD MW2!!!  basically we all have duties to attend to some we choose some duties choose us, i wanna hear from you all on here, please tell me what it is that drives you to do what you do... what is it you do anyways???? i shared a lil of my personal life with u all, i dont expect you to do the same but id like to hear from you maniacs..

MMAmania.com who do you think has improved the most since the tuff house?


There has been many promising mma fighters to come outta the tuff house, but there is a few fighters who stand out from everbody else. We've watched them come from being nothing but wrestlers to well rounded fighters, we have seen strikers become better groung fighters and we've seen ground fighters learn some sick muay thai skills. I think it is so funny how many people judge the fighters who come from the tuff house as being tv stars or lower level fighters fed cans for opponents. COMPLETE BULLSHIT!!! they have proven to be as real as it gets taking on top level fighters consistently and winning. so blah blah blah this is my first fanpost so go ahead and rip it apart maniacs.. with that said who do u think has improved the most since the tuff house???
