I swear. I do not understand how some of these people got their black belts. They can't hold standing guard and get knocked right out by a head kick or routine jab-cross punch combination.

I have thousands of hours fighting and sparring against second and third degree black belt opponents, and I've literally NEVER been successfully kicked in the head, nor has anyone ever knocked me out with a mere two punch combo, like these two bozos on the UFC card last night.

How on EARTH did they get a black belt In an allegedly real style of martial arts and they can't even hold standing guard with the NEUTRAL REFEREE reminding them to keep their hands up? IF the Ref needed to remind a fighter to get their hands up, he should go ahead and stop the fight. Either they already got ROCKED one too many times, or they just sucked to begin with. Either way they're a 50% scrub wannabe.

IF you fought me in my prime, you BETTER know how to hold standing guard while leg -checking all 11 basic Isshinryu kicks, because if you drop your guard to parry a kick to the mid-section I'm going to knock you right out with a jab-cross-hook-uppercut "continuous fist" style offense... and you had better leg check vs all of my body kicks, because if my thrust kick landed (back then) that was the end of the fight too. My right cross in 4 oz gloves vs your face meant you lost the fight.

Most of these fighters aren't even the equivalent of a real Isshinryu light green belt.

The Padres got a better deal on Josh Bell. Bellis a much better batter than Soto, statistically the 5th best batter in the Major League.

Juan Soto is good at bat, but not THAT freaking good. He plays RIGHT FIELD. Only like one in ten balls goes to right field. Who the hell is dumb enough to pay this guy 40 million per year to play baseball? Even if he was the second coming of Chipper Jones, I couldn't see paying somebody that much money to play RIGHT FIELD.

The fricken owners and managers have lost their damned minds.
