Bob Reilly's Response to Legalizing MMA in New York State

[smoke126857]

Who had died in mma, ever?

[67Zaka]

@smoke126857 Listen idiot. There are people whom have died in MMA of course. BUT NOT IN THE UFC. This old guy is deluded and he's ANTI-American. Basically an old guy stuttering. If he finalizes UFC/MMA in New York, I'll be his biggest fan ever.

[smoke126857]

@67Zaka I think you're responding to the wrong person. What did I say to offend you?

[smoke126857]

@67Zaka I did a little bit of research and I found a record of two deaths so far in mma. One is 2007 and one in 2010. The second happened in my own state.My original question wasn't directed towards you. And it wasn't meant to be negative in any way. Just question. A lot of people would love this guy if he let mma events happen in new york, my self in included. Calm down dude.

@smoke126857 Sorry for my bad grammer.

Reilly is an asshat. Has no idea what he's talking about.

[wild1033]

this guy has absolutely no idea what he's talking about. clearly there is someone behind the scenes that is somehow getting this guy to speak these absurd words.

Bob, what exactly is non-violent about boxing? The truth is, you're being paid by boxing lobbyists to keep MMA out of New York. You're controlled by the mafia and you're a coward.

[Immortalsyn83]

12/6 is the most dangerous angle which is illegal in all forms of MMA. This guy is an incompetent moron that is talking out of his ass. If he was so concern with violence how can he conclude boxing & football are not violent sports when injuries & death rates are much higher. Damaging your opponent is an objective of many sports & more fatalities have happen in cheer leading than MMA. Chokes are not that unsafe, Randy Couture choke a girl out on youtube. He compares NY citizens are children?¿?

THIS GUY IS A DOUCHEBAG! LISTEN TO HIS VOICE! HE LOVES 8 YEAR OLD BOYS WHO WRESTLE I BET! BOXING IS OK? HMM, IF HE WERE EVEN A LIL BIT SMART, HED KNOW UFC REFEREES WILL STOP A FIGHT AS SOON AS SOMEONES IN TROUBLE! I LOVE BOXING, BUT YOU CAN BE KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT, BUT IF YOU CAN STAND UP WITHIN 10SEC, NO MATTER IF YOURE COMPLETELY OUT OF IT, IF U CAN STAND UP, THEY GIVE U 3 CHANCES TO KEEP THE FIGHT GOIN! THIS GUY WOULD LOVE TO SIT FRONT ROW IF TWO 8 YR OLD BOYS WERE NAKED IN THE RING!

12 to 6 elbows are not allowed

• 22,900: Number of children who went to emergency rooms with cheerleading injuries in 2002 — more than twice as many as in 1990

• 2.68: Catastrophic injuries for every 100,000 female high school cheerleaders —THE WASHINGTON POST

The facts are clear: unlike your opinion based on your research.

Bob,

Do you watch Football, Hockey, Boxing? Did you know that cheerleading is actually more dangerous than Pro MMA. How many actual deaths have occurred in MMA since it's inception in the mid 80's? In the ring=0 For cheerleading since the mid 80's? Here are the stats via the Washington Post Mr. Reilly. Some statistics on cheerleading injuries:

• 93: Catastrophic incidents between 1982 and 2007 (high school, 67; college, 26)

[webmastersize]

he is right about the violence violence factor...in my country less than 10 people die by a gun in a year

[77butlerj]

@webmastersize Whether you're killed with a gun, a knife, or a dildo, dead is dead. I don't know why people are so hung up on whether a murder is caused by a gun or by some other means. And FTW, anyone who knows anything about MMA knows that Reilly is an oblivious douche who doesn't know the first thing about MMA. Elbow drops?! WTF BOB?! it sounds like you want to ban pro wrestling, not MMA.

What a retard!
