I was just wondering if anyone here watches it? and if so who is your favorite fighters?
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I`m a huge MMA fan! I watch both PRIDE and UFC. My fav fighters are...
- Fedor Emelianenko (PRIDE HEAVY WEIGHT CHAMP!) 27-1
- Rampage Jackson (PRIDE/UFC) owned chuck liddel lol and his bodyslam is awesome!
- Tito Ortiz (UFC) He`s so badass, killed ken shamrock... 3 times! His next fight against Evans is gonna be a war.
I can`t wait for UFC 73 stacked or somethin it`s gonna be HUGE!

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
I always loved Maurice Smith back in the day. Anybody remember him? He was the 40 year old over the hill kickboxer who came in and beat some great grapplers to win the UFC heavyweight title. Beautiful to watch (some kickboxing stuff):

Not long ago, I watched a guy named Saliveri who was just as awesome, and it turns out Smith was his trainer.
Does anyone know who all has been trained by Maurice Smith?
I can't seem to figure that out from UFC.com. Plus, does anyone know where to find fight videos/highlight reels? Youtube is getting pretty sparse.

I think nate will win I hope. :rockon:
antonio will beat herring hes overrated.
Rashad evens I think will take this one his last fight was good.
Hermes franca I want him to win.
Kenny I hope he also wins, his last fight was also good aswell.
the other fights I really dont know any of them besides Stephan Bonnar so I guess good luck to him. :yes:
Lately I've kind of been wondering what professional wrestling would be like if it wasn't all just staged. I'd love to see one of these real MMA fighters go into the ring against three so-called "Wrestling World Champions" and show them the difference between good fighting and bad acting.

I am a big fan of UFC and MMA and I have just registered in MMAVacations upcoming UFC contest and if you are also a fan here, register here and win the ultimate prize.
it's still mostly jusst acting. when guys who caan REALLY kick, etc, go into the ring, it's OVER in a few seconds, and somebody is maimed for life. Fans won't PAY to see that, much, anyway, so it all has to be stretched out for several minutes (most of the time, at least). So it's bs, acting, for themost part.
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

This is the other old thread bumped by spam.
Regarding the "real kick" theory, there are still plenty of winner-take-all cash tournaments. $10k is common, which is not bad for a weekend's work. But Mr Miagi-looking little old men never show up and win that money by doing "real kicks," which is evidence that such a thing does not exist. I do not doubt that there are some little old Japanese men out there who can beat up UFC fighters in a street fight, but they would have to do eye-pokes, crotch kicks, and single digit manipulations in order to win.
It's not acting. I don't know anybody famous, but training partners of mine have fought on at least the undercards of UFC and strikeforce shows. And they are no actors. I have also sold many thousands of tickets in person at amateur events. Not one person has ever complained that a fight was not real. We actually do a lot to conceal the level of violence when it gets ugly; it is supposed to be an all-ages show.goundra said:

bs, I've seen guys in Korea that those stumblebums on UFC could never TOUCH. there's a reason kicks to groin, knee, while a man is down, etc, are not allowed. Ditto why you can't use a descending elbow, bite, gouge, etc. it's all intended to protect the fighters and make the match last longer. I never see REAL strikes at collarbone, floating ribs, etc, cause the guys obviously have agreements not to take each other out of the ring for months at a time. it's BAD acting, but it's still an act, most of the time.
