Kissy face KO

knucklehead homophobia...

so after presumably months of training, he threw away his chances at the prize money and belt. probably got black-listed from that circuit as well.

couldn't he wait 10 FUCKING SECONDS before kicking the guy's ass?

foresight.

Ridiculous for a whole range of reasons.
(1) Going head to head like that is EXTREMELY untactical.
(2) The stare-out as a means of gaining psychological advantage - a very JMA idea - is bullshit. Case in point: Fedor, who always drops his eyes. (Which, BTW, is tactically smart: By focussing on his opponents upper body triangle, he will have a much clearer idea of if he is going to make a move. People dont' hit each other with their eyes.)
(3) A trained fighter - be he a ring combatant or a combat soldier - should be able to maintain poise under pressure. The fact that this guy was so keyed up that he pulled his own trigger JUST because the other guy made a humourous or insulting (you decide) gesture shows that he lacks this key attribute.
(4) Congrats to the smooch blower - he won the fight.

On a not-unrelated point, I have often wondered whether, if one were under extreme pressure in a ruck, kissing one's opponnet - on the basis that street fighters/muggers/villains are macho creatures - would be the best strategy to buy yourself a vital second or two?

And in that moment of shocked freeze - "Bleedin' 'ell, is this bloke wot I am grapplin' wiv a bleedin' shirt lifter? What'll me mates fink?" - take advantage and (a) deliver a finisher or (b) E&E.

right. I think if you lose your cool that easily, how are you any different than a chimp?

only big babies don't know how to handle their emotions

[Areios]

LMFAO :D

[Chris Fleming]

Both of those guys look completely ridiculous, even for fighters. It doesn't surprise me that the one didn't have the mental capacity to keep his cool and take it to him during the fight. Does make me wonder if, since we all have seen the Heath Herring smooch KO, he felt that such an action was the "right" action (it's not) in a similar situation.

the lesson here is don't try to kiss your opponent...

[xingyijuan]

I thought it was going to be this one

Or he could have just kissed him back.





Naw, that's just ghey.

LOL at Heath, "He tried to kiss me on the lips like a homosexual. I'M NOT GAY!!!!"

[Wanderingdragon]

Well , there's always the famous mythological kiss of death made famous by Mafia lore
