StillUnknown Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Any 1 on 1 combat sport is going to have a goal to score and inflict damage, not necessarily pain. Pain is almost a non-issue in MMA because these guys inflict a lot more pain on themselves during training than during the fight. Getting a broken nose or a big cut is easy to shrug off to these guys, as is with most well-conditioned athletes. I'd say roughly around 98% of TKO's are stopped by the ref because of overwhelming strikes or loss of conscienceness. Tapping to pain from strikes is very rare.And the majority of the time, especially now that tapping to a submission isn't considered "dishonorable" anymore, guys will tap before breakages happen. A couple seconds of excruciating pain while waiting for the ref to answer your tap is better than laying on the gridiron with your toes touching your shin, IMO. and most professional fighter who train brazilian jiu-jitsu (which is a necessity in todays game), know how to apply the submissions so that they apply good amount of pressure without breaking the limb. now if a guy is too brave for his own good to tap, then a breakage may occur :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macnoke03 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I'm looking forward to it. I know it's on network TV and all but I hope it doesn't disappoint like a lot of PPV events in boxing or MMA where the fight is over after 15 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted June 1, 2008 Author Share Posted June 1, 2008 Nice pop on the chin, good KO, ref could have let him go down there to finish it off -- guy was on his hands and knees. No KTFO for sure, but still a real nice shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
