Sup Bub, I just recently started posting again. I stopped by because my email said I had a private message, then I read someones signature saying Dragonzero has died, so I asked around and have been posting in the mma a little. What are you doing here?

if you watch the video, his opponent gets him in a guillotine and slams his head down to the canvass. Hope he walks again.

Seems that broken necks aren't uncommon in MMA.
Thank the Gods there have been no fatalities yet.

if i fought mma i would try the neck twist submission, where you crank their head around as hard as you can untill they tap.

Yes the wrestling is the game of injuries they are the permanent clients of physical therapist but its not easy to recover when its some kind of serious issues in bones or ribs it will take time to recover..........
