• xcnatchMany are talking about the dadda kimbo fight ! It does raise a question I've heard since MMA started posed by traditional martial arts . Are we just street fighters full of aggression and animosity or are we trained and skilled martial artists in real competition? Example; you can train a child to play chess by offering them a piece of candy—an external good—every time they wins. But not until they discover for them self the pleasures of developing strategies, reading their opponent’s mind, and thinking three moves ahead will they become a real chess player.
  Some jobs are just jobs—we work ’em for money in the way that a kid plays chess for candy, But other jobs, over time, become part of us in a deeper way. We begin to study the job—we want to learn how to get better at it. We begin to enjoy the job and time seems to fly by at work. We begin to build friendships at the job—we find people we like and sometimes admire. And we begin to take pride in the job. We come to associate the work we do with who we are, and we’re proud of both. I hope if kimbo and dadda decide to continue competing in the sport they take some pride in it and prepare properly !

They said Dada was super fukked up after the fight. I didn't know he had to cut to make 265. Had renal failure and his heart stop

It's too bad they barely hyped their next shows besides the King Mo-Phil Davis show, their next 2-3 shows have a lot of talented prospects and Benson Henderson fighting on them.

They only hype up da tomfoolery fights, the real MMA fights get under promoted, thats all i need to know bout Bellator. which is a shame, cous i respect Coker's hustle usually.

Maybe that's Viacom's doing. Coker had a small freak show element in Strikeforce, but even then the freakshows were all on the undercard. But I understand why they do it, the UFC has the best fighters in the world, they have a gigantic roster with hundreds and it's hard to compete with a brand with name recognition and cachet like that.

The freak shows hype themselves. Kimbo and Dada did a great job promoting that bullshyt.
