    And, then there's this;


    I'm sure some turd will take this post as an attack on Loma somehow so I have to add this disclaimer; Loma is wonderful.

      LOL. I saw another clip where he cut a guy and then pointed to the cut eye on his own face. WTF? Haha. Very funny though. Not a big MMA fan, but I'd watch this guy for sure.

        ^Yes, ha ha. I was looking for that one. Glad you saw it. Who the fk feigns concern for the opponent during the fight as a way of demoralizing them? You've got to have a unique sort of thought process for that to even cross your mind in combat.

        Back to Loma, I'd love to see him use a bit more psychological taunting in the future. I'm a HUGE fan of that aspect of the sport (not specifically taunting, but combat psychology).

          Mayorga was hurt by that last hook...his legs were rubber when he did that dance.

            Crawford kind of did the same thing to Postol. Just sat in a corner inviting Postol forward and Postol wanted none of it. Just stood there watching while Crawford taunted him.

            This Loma performance was basically the same stunning thing that Crawford did this year. So exciting to have 2 young fighters that good bursting on the scene.

              I've always thought the same. That one rattles his skull, makes him take a step back to collect himself and playfully shake it off, and then he gets back to business.

                  Yeah, I never have paid a lot of attention to it, but obviously it gets into an opponent's head and also amps up the crowd. Calzaghe did a lot of this and made his fights even more fun than they were. And of course, we have to give loads of respect to Ali. He was the pioneer of this stuff, as far as I know.

                    The most mocking thing that I remember comes down to four words. Lets see who remembers where they came from.

                    "I like Mike Vick"

                      The "Stockton Slap";

                      Bit of trivia for those who don't know, Nate Diaz ^ has trained with Andre Ward.

                      Ha ha! Nice. I've got one of those (don't remember which). Gotta dust it off. Fun stuff.
