when i watched him say hes gonna try to kill gsp,i lost some respect for bj,i still like bj but i couldnt believe i heard that.thats not a good thing to say,maybe if we where back in midevil times it was a cool thing to say,actually probably the only thing to say.but mma fighters are not fighting to the death,if that was the case,im sure dana would give them each an axe or sword before each match,lol.maybe bj was trying to hype himself up,i dont know,but it was probably one of the most distastful quotes i ever heard in the sport of mma.thats why i like randy so much,cause he never says im going out there to try to hurt my opponant,he says compete with my opponant.thats what its about,its a chess match,ofcoarse i understand its a fight but the goal is to win immpressivly,not see how many bones you can break on your opponant.sometimes people get hurt in the process cause its a contact sport,i also understand emotions run high in a fight and sometimes even the coolest and calmest fighters can go alittle to far.ive done grappling tournaments years ago,ive never once tried to hurt my opponant intentionally.if i had him in a armbar or anything that could potentially hurt him bad ,i try not to go overboard and start trying to rip his arm off.ive heard competitors in the stands laughing cause they popped a guys shoulder or elbow after the guy was tapping out,thats unsportsman bullshit.i understand if a dude aint tapping and you slowly apply more pressure and something happens,but to try to hurt a guy in a grappling tournament who is tapping out and your still cranking the limb is straight up bullshit.a choke is a different story,if i have a rnc or guillotine choke sunk in im not to worried cause i know the guy at worst will black out alittleif he refuses to tap,i remember seeing guys legs get broken from knee bars and heel hooks years back,they aint no joke fellas,i know most of yous know that already.in training i used to tap out quick as hell from heel hools and kneebars,i worked construction type of work years back and had no sick days or health insurance 10 years ago and if i got hurt,i didnt work and i didnt get paid,then i didnt eat and cant pay my bills,not a good scenario at all.ive always tapped to armbars and anyother limb locks that could put me out of work,some of my buddys busted my balls about tapping and not try to struggle out, but they knew my situation.chokes i would try to fight off cause i knew i wasnt gonna get hurt and miss work,in a competition i would try to get out of a lock more then if was in class,i guess cause my adrenaline was high and i wanted a metal to take home to show my friends,that meant alot to me back then.thanks for reading
