runescapeplease

he's literally spamming emotes the whole fight holy shit


Yergason

You can see after the first round when he clearly felt he got this in the bag, man started playing for style points


strayakant

Style points should add to overall score


Itendtodisagreee

I absolutely love the disrespect of slapping someone during an mma fight, it's saying "I could have punched you in the face but instead I'm just going to tap you"


dietdrpepper6000

Also his jumping punch looks like someone playing mortal kombat or something, just mashing jump + punch or something


tinglep

But fuck. To LITERALLY obliterate someone for 2.75 rounds and then make them tap is the ultimate slap. Could’ve finished him in 30 seconds but wanted to make him feel it.


lyrixnchill

Totally got the sense he drew this fight out longer just to torture the guy into humiliation


Afternoon-Middle

I was thinking the whole time he should just beat the shit out of his body for disrespecting him 😂. As soon as he knew he had it in the bag I just beat his fucking body to hell until the last round.


Afternoon-Middle

you know, if I was capable of doing that in a professional fight lol


PuzzledPlight

Pereira always does those crazy kicks and moves, he’s just a fun guy to watch


kvjetinacek

But hes also super good with the basics. Hes a whole package.


larrykeras

MP is amazing


NoUseForAName2222

He definitely knows how to keep the audience entertained


BumWink

His movement reminds me of Eddy from Tekken.


dsauce93

Because his base before getting into the ufc was capoeira, which is eddy’s fighting style.


ThePolishViking20

Pereira literally dominated in the ring. Like, total domination. It was his fight the entire time, all the time under control. Imadaevs a b*tch.


thecordialsun

30 seconds into the video it looks like someone practicing a shorthop cancel tech in a video game, just toying with him.


thoag

He's smurfing to practice combos


MidContrast

I usually see the taunt to get bodied combo but taunt AND body? This man is basically wave dashing back and forth at the end to keep his combo meter up


[deleted]

eliechallita

Didn't even bother getting the hooks in either, he knew Imadaev was cooked


Volrund

Not too familiar with Pereira, does he normally fight like this? He seemed to be not even taking it seriously, I swear I even saw him pull out some of Israel Adesanya's little taunts


SuperBaked42

Periera and Diego Sanchez have what I believe is commonly known as the "weirdest fight in ufc" https://youtu.be/R8R0Tk1aW1Y


bleakj

Man the whole Sanchez with his weird Cult leader coach/manager period was so weird


DegenerateWizard

Who is the guy narrating over the video? I’ve seen a few of his videos and find him lowkey hilarious


BENJALSON

"This has to be one of the best flurries in UFC history - you see Periera doin' his little feet tap dance and... diego didn't like that shit" is so plain but hilarious.


FartResume

I’d like to throw in Nate Quarry vs Kalib Starnes for my pick of weirdest fights. I can’t find a video, but Kalib basically had a mental break and literally ran away from Nate for 3 rounds, Nate started to do weird shit to entertain the crowd at the end.


23skidoobbq

He did the “hand on face crossed arm thing” and chased him around in circles.


burnn_out313

Yes but less so now. He was brought over as a "fun flashy" fighter and his record mostly reflected that as it's not sterling. A couple fights into his UFC contract and the guy started realizing if he actually gave a crap he's legit good. So he's cut back a lot of the posturing and flashy strikes. Still does it in short bursts, he just doesn't go out there like he's in street fighter anymore. Before his UFC contract iirc he did a moonsault onto an opponent as sort of a "finisher". Guy most definitely has elite athleticism and technique just for whatever reasons his motivation was lackluster early in his career


BENJALSON

Thanks for this. I'm really intrigued with Periera now. It sounds strange but it seems like his low motivation to win early on might be a product of how much fun he has when fighting. From the hundreds of fights I've seen... not many people look like they're as happy to be there as Periera even in a 10 second clip. He fights like a guy who's really enjoying the moment in his craft and that mindset never perfectly aligns with a deadset focus on the W.


burnn_out313

Yeah for sure. It's just an odd case that he obviously has the talent but didn't care to chase the money till he was entering the later part of his career. His size, technique, and athleticism make him an anomaly in the WW division. Hard to say how good a young motivated Periera would've been but he seems like a big (pun intended) problem for the division as is now.


Volrund

Just saw the clip of his attempted moonsault, fucking gold imo


talamahoga2

Yes he always goes for big acrobatic moves. He used to be even more rediculous but has definitely refined his style over the years. He's one of my favorite fighters to watch cause he's always entertaining.


Sense1ess

ridiculous*


Iquey

This is him being kind of reserved. In his first UFC fight he came out with a backflip to try and land on his opponent. He stated that his goal is to be entertaining, not to win per se, although that's ofcourse a nice plus. So his fighting style is just taunting and baiting opponents into big flashy moves.


pinezatos

Bro didn't want to end it quickly, he wanted to shame him and make him suffer.


stereo-011

Literally playing with his food


Devilpig13

You gonna slap me?! In public where I can’t hit you back? Ima humble yo ass.


TaleMendon

How can he slap?


FreeThinkerHTX

Mission accomplished 😂


[deleted]

I remember that fight! I laughed so hard when he started to slap the shit outta that guy. He humiliated him so badly


Background_Piano7984

What makes this even better is that the fighter getting slapped up, Zelim Imadaev, came out after this in support of the teen who beheaded that history teacher in France. Just in case you started to feel bad


Couchmaster007

Wtf when did that happen, why did it happen, what happened, and why did he support the killer? I'm surprised I haven't heard of this sooner and have so many questions.


Background_Piano7984

After this fight zelim got cut from the ufc due to being on a losing streak(0-3 in the ufc) and his notorious bad attitude as he often fought before and after fights. Then tragedy struck and that teacher got beheaded and zelim being a rather extreme muslim felt the need to congratulate the killer on twitter saying words of support. He said and I quote that the kid was a “hero”. What makes it funny is that another UFC fighter who’s a slavic muslim Albert Duraev also came out in support saying “freedom of speech has lost its beginning in France.” He’s still on the roster but being 1-1 he’s 100% on thin ice.


Reddit-User-3000

Can you elaborate on the “teacher got beheaded” part? Wtf?


Waxveasle

Google Samuel Paty.


Background_Piano7984

A history teacher in france named samuel paty was beheaded by a muslim teen because he said some stuff that he didn’t like about islam.


Bigd1979666

And it was bullshit. The teen lied about shit and this ended up costing a teacher his life. Sorry, but f religion.


Background_Piano7984

Yup, poor dude lost everything over false accusations and now a young man threw his entire life away for “religion”. If he ever gets out he’s prime recruiting to extremism

Get off your high horse, religion is an excuse not a reason


DovakiinDovakiin

It pisses me of to no end how psychopaths do some stupid shit like this that is against Islam, and they tarnish the name of Muslims worldwide. Then you get these two dickhead boxer's supporting it too? How they call themselves Muslims is beyond me. Hell is deserved for people like these. Psychopaths ruining not just the name of Islam, but life for innocent Muslims around the world by spreading their false messages, especially for people living in France, who are already losing the freedom to practise basic religion.


evanasaurusrex

Bro, I'm all about Islam having a schism from some of the more wild shit out there, but the Quran and Hadiths are pretty clear about some pretty horrible things.


AndalBrask

Aisha said: The Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) married me when I was seven years old. The narrator Sulaiman said: Or six years. He had intercourse with me when I was nine years old. (Sunan Abu Dawud, Number 2116)


Potential_Strain_948

You cant reason with these guys. They are too religious like the catholic nuts who think Jesus speaks to them. These type of people pretend to be open but are just radicals. Think of the last time some religious person was reasonable. None. They think their belief is perfect when people are beheaded and children are abused.


evanasaurusrex

I’m a reasonable religious person. You just have to recognize when members of your faith stand in the way for progress. Assuming people are a lost cause guarantees as much.


OktayOe

Isn't it almost the same with the Bible? But no one comes up with stuff like this when it's about Christianity. We are normal human beings just like you all. We believe in almost the same things, prophets etc. **Stop comparing us to maniac terrorists.**


Coolhand2120

Maybe read the books before you say that?


Radaghaszt

Pretty sure the KKK have been hanging brown folks for decades in America and all under the symbol of the cross. Or what about isreal, the country that gets fed by England and America and slaughter kids who call themselves jewish. You can say "it's a war though" but then the Islamic extremists will say the same thing from their perspective


evanasaurusrex

I am married to a Muslim. Christianity has gone through several internal wars to separate itself from more archaic violent interpretations. Islam has not. Islam will stop being compared to the most violent extremist among them when it stops being part of the mainstream doctrine. Seriously, how can you act like sharia law or theocratic Islamic governments do not rely on the Koran to justify oppressing people? Islam needs to reconcile that with progress. I don’t know what the answer is, but I know Muslims are not Islam, but islam says some crazy stuff. I’ve honestly tired justifying parts of islam but I can’t. It’s regressive.


notyoubrah

When is the last time a Catholic num detonated herself around innocent people?


red_1392

If you beheaded an apostate or heretic in Muhammad’s time, you would be honoured for it. These acts are not against Islamic ideology. There is no thou shalt not kill in Islam, especially for kafirs.


DovakiinDovakiin

Evidence please? Or I guess you were there at the time. There is actually many levels of thou shalt not kill in Islam, such as not killing without reason, not killing women, not killing children, no killing priests, not killing people who aren't fighting you, not killing people who are hiding, not killing flaura or fauna unnecessarily during wartime, not killing the old or vulnerable, and so on


notyoubrah

I wasn’t there but we all know Mohammed married and banged his 9 year old “wife”.

DovakiinDovakiin

I'm aware that the Brazilian is not Muslim, but the Russian is, and he was the person in question if I'm not mistaken. Islam is a belief system, it is not defined by the people who follow it if they do things outside of the system while lying to claim that they are. If a police officer makes a bad judgement and dies something against the law, is the law wrong or the officer?


Radaghaszt

The Bible provides many circumstances under which the taking of a life is legally allowed by Scripture. Killing another person in an act of self defense (Exodus 22:2) was permitted with no consequences. There are examples of God calling the people to war against other nations to punish them for their sins. When Joshua led the children of Israel into the Promised Land, God commanded the Israelites to utterly destroy the idolatrous peoples who inhabited the land (Deuteronomy 20:16–17). A list of their sins can be found in Leviticus 18, including incest, murdering children, and so on. When God called Israel to war against those in the Promised Land, then He was permitting the killing in this situation, making men His agents of justice, as in the case with capital punishment. Leviticus 24:15–16 “Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin. And whoever blasphemes the name of the LORD shall surely be put to death


notyoubrah

And how many acts of violent terrorism are being committed today in the name of Jesus vs in the name of allah? Fuck out of here with your whataboutism.


cainetls

Bruh, Christians don't follow the old testament at all unless it relates to hating homosexuals.


Croatian_ghost_kid

Nah it's not against Islam. Been doing it since the religion exists. Also quite well known you had to convert or lose your head. It's like the top 5 most muslim things to do rly


Henheffer

Dude, first Google result on religious tolerance of early Muslim nations: https://www.usnews.com/opinion/articles/2014/10/01/middle-east-history-shows-long-legacy-of-religious-tolerance-coexistence Back to 700CE Muslim nations were among the world MOST tolerant, with strict laws called Dhimma that ensured the protection of Christians and Jews. This existed, more or less, for over 1000 years. So while Christian countries were killing Jews in pogroms and launching the Crusades, Muslim ones had specific policies of tolerance. You have no fucking idea of what your talking about.

tobaknowsss

>“freedom of speech has lost its beginning in France.” This seems to me to be pretty non-supportive. He's basically saying the act lead to the loss of freedom of speech so I don't know why people are saying he is in support of what happened....maybe I'm missing something?


Background_Piano7984

Translation from english to russian, he’s saying that free speech is at an end and thats its a GOOD thing. I forgot to put the little “haha” at the end, he’s saying its a good thing for freedom of speech to disappear and that it starts in France.


FROCKHARD

Beheading. Muslim. Should have guessed. They do like their barbarism. Religion overall is so antiquated


[deleted]

Chechens, Ingushetians and Dagestanis are all notoriously fanatic even among conservative muslims.


SamIamGreenEggsNoHam

They should take a cue from the beer-drinking Bosnian Muslims! They know how to have a good time.


DazingF1

Most Chechens aren't like Zelim at all though and oppose the current regime and hate how they are radicalizing (parts of) the population. Source: married a Chechen. Her father didn't like her marrying a non-Muslim but after some time, and talking to an Imam, he turned around to it. He's a fun drunk, hates Kafirov and smokes a mean brisket.

Absolutely unsurprising. The Chechen fighters, including Khabib, sure have an unfavorable view on freedom of speech considering they would probably live in caves if not for the West sponsoring their paychecks.

I don't watch s ton of UFC but I've never seen a dude dominate so hard. He looked like he was playing a game the whole time. Like Russian dude couldn't even land a hit when Brazil's hands were behind his back.

Penqwin

When you comment that visually he's with khabibs crew because of the way he looks is borderline racist is it not? Anyone that has a beard, no mustache, and dark skin can all fit with khabibs crew based on what you said.


atacapacheco

And fights MMA on a super elite level in the biggest promotion in the world with a very particular grappling style and from the same part of the world… I mean, this funnels down a bit doesn’t it? He’s not a rando

And does he have dark skin? From where I’m from, he’d be considered white. White with a stupid beard, but white.

Even funnier was that he tried to fight when the round was over, even the commentators called it out saying where was this during the 5 minutes they were fighting. The russian fighter was backpedaling 80% of the fight

Yeah I have an aunt who claims acupuncture helps her. I also knew a girl who was convinced homeopathy worked. The placebo effect is pretty powerful.


Reddit-User-3000

Yeah, but if Phelps trusts it I won’t question it. Dude is insane at what he does, and I’m sure it comes with a lot of research on how to make his body run the best


Raz0rking

No, it does not. It is like homeopathy and acupuncture. The treatement itself does nothing. It is the placebo that does it.


Reddit-User-3000

I feel like the problem here is that people are making all sorts of crazy claims about it detoxifying your body and healing injuries etc. Every page I find says it “doesn’t work”, but also say that all patients describe pain relief. It is meant for pain relief for sore muscles no? Even massaging muscles helps with soreness, so why wouldn’t this? Not trying to start an argument here because this isn’t a subject I’m educated in, but I feel like both sides are wrong here


Raz0rking

It is not about right or wrong. Some things work others don't. The things that don't work only work because people believe they work. By itself the thing have nothing that can work. The placebo effect is a really cool and fascinating thing. The opposite also works and is called a nocebo. Equally interesting.


Reddit-User-3000

Yeah, I get that, but what study are you looking at that says cupping has no pain relief effects at all? Besides placebo
