So basically, the reason why we have colored belts is because Americans and Europeans are a bunch of impatient cry babies who who constantly need rewards and recognition for doing something....

[NinjaRudeNinja]

actually GSP has talked about how he believes there shouldn't be Rounds at all.

[ragethebolt]

In space, guard is mont MIND BLOWN

[gogynight]

True, but I think he could still win fights if there wasn't a score. He'd have to fight a bit differently, but it's not like he sucks. He's just boring. lol

[jonthedonable]

well, gsp rarely wins by finishing a fight. lol

if it was about just fighting then gsp would lose cos he goes in there to score points and avoid the fight.

[gogynight]

lolwhat

[Nicholas Trotta]

Not true at all. Rules govern behavior so based off a new set of rules GSp would alter his fighting style. You cannot just assume that if points were taken out of the equation that GSP would fight the exact same way.

[karim khabiblov]

bullshit. gracies are known gangsters, who have been caught using steriods, and who cant accept defeat. moral system my ass

[Saku Yamamoto]

We shouldn't focus more on belts but our skills that's what is important blackbelt and the rest of the belts are nothing but ranks it doesn't make you a skillful martial arts by having those belts but your skills itself As a martial artist we need to focus our training that would be our skills you may have a blackbelt but you if you are keep on losing the tournament then what good is the belt anyway so it's not really the belt it's the skill 100percent

[Linco Morgado]
