stick around... you can actually learn what real greco is... i am not guaranteeing you will ever "really" get it, but, you will definitely be exposed to it... who do you want to learn about first? what weights do you "identify" with" let's start there and i can ease you into the light... i am not kidding... just let me know and we will work through this together... i got you, boo...

it means that you do not know greco at all... i just wanted to get down to the brass tacks before you go back to just being fodder... thanks for playing your role, brother...

SSSSSSHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! (just trust the science)

so... the boy and i were watching the fights saturday... we lost count how many body locks were achieved against the cage, but, no TDs... none of the fighters had the body awareness or strength in those positions to finish an easy TD or to do any damage in those positions... we lost count on how many rear standing positions could have had the fight ended if any of the fighters had the body awareness or strength in those positions and could have dropped one of them on their f'n head... like literally smash their opponent with the octagon and begin the end of the fight... that is what i am getting at... strength in positions that very few have... strength in positions that lend themselves to MMA... but... MMA never gets true elite athletes in their primes, so, it is hard to point to a specific example...

i just remembered... how excited are you guys for vlasov wrestling in april? @scourge165 who is it he is wrestling again? i am struggling to remember right off the top of my head... can you help a brother out?

so... @scourge165 who are your favorite international greco guys? i do not want to assume you did not watch any of zagreb greco, so, perhaps you could post your favorite match from last weekend... the boys and i are totally geeking out over mohammadi right now... i mohammadi... not his older brother a. mohammadi... who is still a killer... and of course... who does not love Datunashvili, amiright????????

i... just... can... not...

if you are **trigger word** then you can not get **trigger word** if you are **trigger word** then you can not pass on **trigger word** if you are not **trigger word** then you will be fired/dishonorably discharged/ostracized/100% safe... all you got to do is.. (all together now) TRUST THE SCIENCE!!!!

hindsight is easy... it was based in "science"... "science" was used to justify the findings... you can not claim it was never "science" just because it has finally been proven wrong...

i absolutely do not wonder about that... i learned that lesson before i even sprouted one hair... people will argue not for right or wrong, but, just to be "feel" right... because you don't believe the food pyramid anymore you dismiss the science that was used to create it and justify the agenda... you were finally told it was wrong so now it was never science... this is all very typical and does not bother me at all...

let's all say it together... TRUST THE SCIENCE!!!!

the polar caps will be melted by 2009... trust the science we could fill up the googlewebs with similar statements... all the 1s and 0s could literally shut everything down...

i just did not have the energy to continue, but... you nailed it... you kinda have to admire the attempt at trickery if it was not so obvious...

ok (like i said... it won't matter)

so, just let us know in the future when you will be changing definitions to fit your needs... it should save us all a bunch of time...

who funded the research that got the food pyramid so incredibly wrong? who benefitted most from getting the food pyramid so incredibly wrong? who continues top benefit from all of the health issues in this country from getting the food pyramid so incredibly wrong? (these are rhetorical in nature because i know it won't matter)

this thread still has lots of potential... the turn it is taking might get the zoo a few more members...

i don't disagree with any of this... i just would not necessarily define dawson as an american wrestler just because he dabbled in high school... again... have not seen the fight in question and probably won't ever... the boy and i were pretty horrified at the level of wrestling/grappling this weekend... just one night of australian fights so i get it is not 100% representative, but, it was awful overall from early prelims up until islam v volk...

another quick googlewebs search tells me dawson did wrestle in high school... is a BJJ black belt... and is 28 years old... been fighting since 2014... has a 19-1 record... so... calling him an "american high school wrestler" is a stretch at best...

who missed weight... look at the percentage of catch weight fights where the fighter who missed weight wins... but... like mi said, i have not bothered to watch any of madsens fights... but no one gets out of MMA undefeated... (i know khabib did, but, the exception proves the rule)

clinch up against the fence... dirty boxing... greco doesn't need legs to get a TD against actual greco guys much less MMA guys... i have not watched any of his fights (this weekend was the first UFC card i have watched in years), but, mark madsen is the one legitimate greco guy i am aware of that has made a serious attempt at MMA in a minute... quick looksee on the googlewebs tells me he is 12-1 and only lost his last fight in the UFC and his opponent failed to make weight for that bout... the youngest is being introduced by his coaches to MMA... they want him to beat up a few bums after he gets done chasing medals... i am not mad at the idea... anything to keep him from having to sit in front of monitors all day long...

an argument could very easily be made... but... the level of wrestling/grappling in MMA is so awful as a whole that i am not sure anyone could really make a valid comparison nowadays... regardless, greco mentality is considerably more effective in those types of competitions than the less **insert the adjective that wont make some of us all red and raw** forms of wrestling... clearly, it would be hard to argue against combat sambo for the last few years and rightfully so...

dangerfield HBO specials form the mid 80s... there were some gems...

well... it is monday morning and i am on the clock... so... i perused... i giggled several times... two things... using fargo as the basis for any opinion on greco is adorable... and... for my guy...

eppy epperman... FROOOOOOOOOM CLEVELAND!!!!!!
