This is why I love MMA

[SgtSpar]

But still not in the Olympics so its not a sport and they are not athletes, Only the NFL FOOTBALL can hold that pristine title of being a sport without being an olympic sport

Pankration (MMA) was one of the original Olympic sports.

Thats me at 21 yrs old... but WHO is the tool here, me for being on a bodybuilding forum or you for being to afraid to join an MMA forum and talking shit there? I mean why are you losers even in a bodybuilding forum? your the same douche bags in the weight room shadow boxing acting like tuff shits.

I mean are you not suppose to be in a dojo or some ol sweaty mat rolling around in your underwears

All show no go baby!

Seriously.... didn't you claim to be 245lbs in that pic?


Anyways I'm a fan of both, but like my good buddy SgtSpar says.... I can't remember someone challenging me to a pose down on the street.


You're prob one of those guys that do push ups supersetted with 20lb db curls before you go out "clubbing"

Why don't you look at the rules before you post something you don't know anything about again.

From Wiki:

Pankration (pronounced /pæŋˈkrɑːti.ɒn/ or /pæŋˈkreɪʃən/; from Ancient Greek: Παγκράτιον /paŋkrátion/ "all-in wrestling"[1] Modern Greek: Παγκράτιο /pa(ŋ)ˈɡratio/) is a combat sport introduced into the Greek Olympic Games in 648 BC and founded as a blend of boxing and wrestling. The term comes from the Ancient Greek παγκράτιον, literally meaning "all powers" from πᾶν (pan) "all" + κράτος (kratos) "strength" or "power". It is also used to describe the sport's contemporary variations. Some consider it as the first all-encompassing fighting system in human history.[citation needed]  It is also arguable that pankration competitions in antiquity were the closest an athletic event has come to outright, no-rules, empty hand combat.[citation needed] Modern mixed martial arts  competitions have come to feature many of the same methods that were used in pankration competitions in the ancient Greek world.[2]

Pankration


Toledo 1961.24

This event was a grueling combination of boxing and wrestling. Punches were allowed, although the fighters did not wrap their hands with the boxing himantes.

Rules outlawed only biting and gouging an opponent's eyes, nose, or mouth with fingernails. Attacks such as kicking an opponent in the belly, which are against the rules in modern sports, were perfectly legal.

Like boxing and wrestling, among others, this event had separate divisions for both men and boys.

The poet Xenophanes describes the pankration as "that new and terrible contest...of all holds" (Xenophanes 2)

The only thing about Pankration that resembles MMA is the fact that greeks liked to fight butt hole naked

Nice fail on trying to change your post after reading the definitions I posted.  Too bad I had already quoted your dumb ass.  And you're right again, there are no MMA badasses, its all a myth.

And thats why your a spar partner never a competing fighter. How much do real fighters pay you to get your face kicked in before they actually compete in the ring and you cheer them on from outside the ropes?

how stupid can you be? why would stupidity be physically painful? I bet its painful to take a shit after your sparing match

[SgtSpar]

I've had 13 fights under pro rules.  You?

Thanks bro, but no sense wasting time on this tool.  He constantly posts about fighting while admitting to not doing it.
