1. That one by Tony is just ridiculous. Man was supremely athletic in his prime.

2. Was Barrett headbutting Chase’s fist? Like actually headbutting his fist?

3. Not recommended on all surfaces.

4. Literally I cannot comprehend how Tony ended up in position so rapidly. He was such a monster in his prime

5. Prime ankle pick is no joke

6. Having turned the wrong way in a heelhook myself, that Ryan Hall – BJ Penn clip always makes me cringe

7. Where’s Artem Lobov’s one. That was truly a fit of athleticism

8. Calling it now Izzy throws one of these out against Alex.

9. I thought for sure I would see Ryan Hall getting obliterated at the end haha.

10. I challenge someone to give me a **single fucking reason** that upkicks from a downed opponent **to** a downed opponent are illegal.

    It’s the dumbest fucking rule, and in my opinion it actually has a significant effect on the ‘purity’ of MMA as a combat sport.

    Banning upkicks thrown by a downed fighter essentially removes an extremely valid weapon that is applicable in numerous high risk positions, and in doing so massively changes the meta of fighting – **and for what!?**

    Is it too overpowered? No.

    Does it have too high a risk of injury? No.

    Would it makes fights more boring? No.

    *I just don’t fucking get it.* Did nevada state athletic officials see someone breaking bricks with upkicks from their back or something?

11. This is a 2D fighting game move lmao

12. Hall doesn’t do an imanari roll

13. I think we gotta throw an Imanari

14. What happened to that ufc guy who submitted BJ penn?

15. How was that upkick illegal?

16. Can’t wait to see this guy get head stomped trying this on the wrong guy.
