MMA Embarassment!

Sometimes people like to burn ants with magnifying glasses.

That’s funny. I would have been laughing out loud. Spongebob is a complete moron, and deserves everything he gets. But the promotion is the real idiot. I’ve been to one amateur show, and it was like this, many one sided fights and guys being brought out in stretchers.

That’s why I only support Pro MMA shows. If I wanna see amateur fights, I’ll go to a smoker. And it’s funny that some amateur fights charge more than Pro shows for tickets.

but that would be tasteless. As much blame needs to be put on the promotion and the other fighter I think most of the blame lies on the 0-11 fighter. He’s got no training, no corner, no anything and he expects to go and win a fight? I’m sorry but you have to be seriously mentally incompetent if you think you can just waltz into a ring and win a fight.

The guy is delusional and it’s crap like this that proves that amateur MMA needs to somehow be regulated. Unfortunately someone, most likely more than a handful of people, are going to have to seriously get hurt before people even start to think about amateur regulation.

That is just pathetic, there is a reason that sanctioning is so important. No one involved in this sounds like they should be allowed to participate in the sport, not the losing guy or the winning guy or the people who put on the event. To me the guy who won was the worst of all, how could you even accept a fight like that?

The bad part is that spongebob thinks that he has tons of heart because he keeps getting into the cage…He is wrong.

When he was fighting he would throw a weak half thrown jab, then eat three or four straight punches.

I have talked to the guy and he doesn’t seem like he is all there, if you know what I mean. The problem is that the promotion continuous to push him on there cards, and promote their own fighters by using this guy! Of the 11 losses I would venture to say that at least half are to this promotion!

Do you guys think I should have left the name of the gym/ promotion out or should I have smashed them? I wasn’t sure so I aired with caution…

From Brodie Leap

Every other promotion on the planet knows that he is a liablity to himself and the promotion. If they’re intent on exploiting SB than maybe they should learn the hard way. When he gets killed or seriously injured they’ll think, "hmm..maybe it wasn’t a good idea." SB is in no mental condition to be fighting..probably never has been. This was the 2nd time I watched the announcer abuse him after a fight. All in all it wasn’t good for anybody. Everyone would have had just as good of a time without that fight on the card.

So I have contacted the organization to see if they will allow me to interview them. Yes or no, I will release the names soon.

Without getting to much into the “predator victim dynamic”, I think we have take a look at where this sport has come from and just how much it’s changed since the days of UFC 1. Back then it was a huge draw for self proclaimed tough guys to get a chance to show their bar room skills. Now thankfully, the commission and promoters does a somewhat better job of weeding out the fighters deemed unfit to fight for medical, mental or even marketing reasons. At the end of the day, it’s a show and most promoters will try to keep it classy but in the amateur circuit it’s a free for all and we should not be surprized that we get spongebob’s.

The beauty of the sport of MMA is that it forces people who step in to the ring/cage to be put on the pedistool and legitimately show if they can fight. It does not get any closer to a street fight and MMA has killed traditional martial arts because of that. I can not tell you how many times I have seen a kung fu master or a black belt in tae kwan do step into the cage and be destroyed by a scrappy 18 yr old kid with average wrestling and kickboxing skills. so I ask a question….

what is worse?

 the guy who thinks he is a resident bad ass because he is a 15th degree tae kwan do expert and steps in to fight?

or

spongebob?

Both of these guys are under the impression they can fight and believe they can win. No matter what, we are always going to get these types.

and the Take juan’s dough black belt will also have a few other people in his corner…like the Spirit team and weapons/dance team and of course his sensei.
