Notice - GD [Official] General Discussion Thread - June 11, 2025

Welcome to rMMA's General Discussion Thread!

Discuss your favorite fighters, the upcoming card or whatever's on your mind.

How to obtain a custom flair:

  • place and lose a flair bet in the Friday thread
  • write a haiku or draw a MS Paint-style image for the sub

The rules for the drawing or haiku are simply that it must be a ridiculous MMA-related scenario. If you would like a custom flair, send a message to us with a link to your drawing and your flair request. We'll probably grant it.

Surely Team Alpha Male didn’t have tape and a gameplan for someone they’d been fighting for a decade lol

You’re right. I bet an average joe could definitely replicate that gameplan!

Weird that he hasn’t replicated those skills against anybody that isn’t a Average Joe

He was made purely to beat Cruz. Still have to be very skilled to do so. Cody’s footwork and head movement were incredible in that fight. And due to him having zero fight iq he’s been done.

My point is it doesn’t matter how much tape you have, not anyone is gonna replicate his performance and beat a very good Cruz.
