I get it, but still, you have to consider what that does to her confidence. A normal chick is hurt for sure, when she takes a beating at the hands of her man, but she doesn't have any expectation for really being able to defend herself. When you train in martial arts, you gain confidence in being able to handle yourself in a fight. That dude didn't just beat her like in an MMA match. He put her in the hospital. That has to be a blow for her confidence even if he himself is a trained fighter.

How in the world should getting her face smashed by a male MMA fighter affect her confidence as a fighter? Make this make sense, please.

I just made sense of it. I don't know what else to tell you if you don't get it. People get involved largely in martial arts because they want to know how to handle themselves when they are put in physical danger. For all her training, she was still brutalized when the time came to defend herself. On some level, that has to be demoralizing. It doesn't matter that realistically, she was outmatched. At the end of the day all her training and hard work amounted to nothing when she was put in a situation where she needed it the most.

So that makes sense to you. Fighters get their face smashed by fighters of equal stature. It happens. An orbital bone fracture can happen in any fight.

So to think that her suffering this injury, at the hands of a physically superior athlete, would have a negative affect on her confidence makes zero sense.

She wouldn't be expected to have a chance against bigger women, why would she think she would have a chance against a bigger man?

There is s difference between a controlled situation like a sporting event and a real confrontation where your life is in danger and there's no one there to save you. You're trying to break that shit down logically and it isn't a matter of logic. She probably got into martial arts to feel empowered. To then be put in a position where she was powerless is going to be jarring. It's the type of thing you hear from chicks in the military who were raped. It doesn't matter that they had no real chance of fighting their attacker off. The fact that they make a living out of learning how to defend themselves makes it harder on them when they are put in a situation where they can't do that.

You're basing your whole view on an assumption of why she got into combat sports. What if her motivations for getting into fighting were the same as most of her male counterparts? Isn't that as plausible?

You've painted a picture in your head of a woman who got into fighting out of the fear of being a victim. That may not be the case at all.

Which would lead back to her looking at this as a fucked up situation between her and her husband that would have no bearing on her confidence as a fighter.

Pretty sure she got into it because it's pretty much the family business..the dad runs a gym.

Dude, I'm just saying that the encounter might have been demoralizing for her. If she bounces back with no problem, that's great. I'm not really sure why you're taking such exception to what I said.. I was just acknowledging a possible consequence that could have come from such a traumatic event.
 
Lol man that was trash.. chuck lidell is a fuckin dinosaur in terms of age and the evolution of the sport.. he has the skillset of a drunk brawler stone cold steve austin ass. Tito was carrying him..

Ngannou is back on winning track, but we still don't know if he's progressed any since he won this fight the same way he won every other fight.

Props to Overeem for not seeing Ngannou backstage, flashing back to when he was almost decapitated, and running away in terror.
 
Never heard of this chick, but she's got to be the finest chick I've seen in martial arts. I can't believe she's 42. She looks like she's in her mid to late 20s.



lol @ the story about how she dumped a boyfriend because he is an MMArtist too and lost his shit when he was getting GnPed.
