It is appropriate, his last could be that we have so time wrestler discuss much and rings on MMA fight because tonight marks the return of Antonio McKee in a fight against this week, he claims.When Luciano Azevedo MFC 26 as almost all his other battles gone is his struggle, are (i.e. what a decision victory and an anaesthetized audience), who is boring unapologetically MMA fans from Tokyo to New Jersey during his 11 year career, he'll according to McKee, withdraw.
As he told me back in July: "I said, if it's a decision and it's a boring decision I in the ruhestand.Wenn this fight the fight of the night is retired I." "Basically, if I not out there to go and a show only destroy and destroy this guy then I'm done."
Why? not because he does not believe it more can compete. He's pretty sure he can not only compete but other more or less easily dominate each on the planet, even at the age of 40.
No, he says that he will stop because he, for which waited to develop sport and at least as far as he is not concerned.
By developing, I think, it means he waited for fans all together wake up one morning and discover that love to see takedowns and ground control.Bafflingly, has done this yet.
Whether he it or didn't know is McKee was exactly the kind of fighters who speak Dan Hardy if it implies that some wrestlers in violation of the MMA rule against "Timidity." be McKee takes people down, works a little ground and pound, makes very little obvious effort to stop (he is admitted as much in the past), and relies on the judges him the victory.
It's not exciting, but it is effective.Can say much McKee's record has betrachten.Er no battle lost since 2003 (over to diamonds Parisyan... wait for it...) (decision) Although he exactly the cream of the crop has been fighting either not.
But for those of us who defended ply the wrestler's right to his trade in MMA, McKee presented a philosophical problem.His commitment to fighting without ever at risk or even with entertaining fans to win is so complete that it almost borders abuse the scoring system.His salary is paid by fans who want to be entertained, and yet he has never (until now, anyway) hoped you a show.
Seems not, I don't know somehow wrong?
Short answer: Ja.Lange answer: maybe, but the only what worse than watching an Antonio McKee rules fight, this kind of fight would be an impossible rendering manipulation.
I feel about McKee's style and his defence of it the same way I feel about the people who say idiotic things and then claim first amendment protection.In other words, I personally enjoy it, but I respect your right to leveling damage we do would by trying, to stop it would damage far which our delicate sensibilities is done by sitting by it.What he is doing is legal.It is fair.Es is simply fun.
The truth is, McKee is paid a price for his fighting style hat.Er 24-3-2, he has a 10-fight winning strip going and it still takes some outrageous speak and a retirement threat for him which MMA worldwide attention to bekommen.Er may very well be the greatest fighter who would like to see no one and he has only itself to blame.
McKee, doesn't seem surprised, a little bitter darüber.Er will tell you that fans want just blood and then say in the next sentence is not he furiously on fans but the other fighters, the envious will tell sind.Er on him, it is the result of racism, then say it's not about race, at least in his Fall.Auf this way his interviews are more than his fights often entertaining, even if only because so confusing.
But McKee's career is purgatory mainly due to an unofficial fan referendum on his Stil.Seine got their chance wrestling-centric tactics in the marketplace of ideas, and consumers decided she liked it about as much as Crystal Pepsi.McKee dear fans would say what he thinks, as try want what he already knows how to be.
Thats Ordnung.Es is not his Vorrecht.Aber means that someone sorry, complains for him as he is about should feel overlooked.
And when this career ends - theoretically - with another boring performance in Canada today evening, well, that would almost be a fitting way for him to go: lying above on an opponent, while the amount of licences hits.
Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira has a training injury, which will probably require surgical and has moved from his UFC 119 main event suffered rematch with Frank Mir. Stepping in to the focus Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic.
