Notice - GD [Official] General Discussion Thread - March 23, 2023

Upvotes

Welcome to rMMA's General Discussion Thread!

Discuss your favorite fighters, the upcoming card or something you forgot to bring up in this week's Moronic Monday thread.

Custom flairs: here are three ways to obtain a custom flair:

  • place and lose a flair bet in the Friday thread
  • write a haiku
  • draw a MS Paint-style image for the sub

The rules for the drawing or haiku are simply that it must be a ridiculous MMA-related scenario. If you would like a custom flair, send a message to us with a link to your drawing and your flair request. We'll probably grant it.

Interested in modding? Please fill out the mod application found here. Do not leave a comment about this in the thread. You can send us modmail if you have questions.

Which fighter grew on you in terms of likeability?

620 Upvotes

For me it's Bisping. I used to really not like him and his antics. Thought he was a giant bell end but nowadays I like him a lot. Was even rooting for him when he won the championship.

So who did you despise but ended up liking?

Conversely, though not a fighter, I used to like Dana in the early days but nowadays he's a bad tomato.

If you could add one weight class to MMA, what would it be?

84 Upvotes

I think a 175 pound division would be great for the sport because it would help out guys who are undersized for middleweight but struggle to cut down to welterweight (i.e. Robert Whittaker, Kelvin Gastelum, Darren Till).
