couldn't he have just thrown his right leg back avec momentum or am i being simple here?

also :'( hardy :'(

Where the fuck was Garcia's corner at? Should have been yelling to inform him how much time was left, though he should have heard the sound warning that theres only 10 seconds left. Or maybe they were, and didnt hear them, still I'd be pissed if I tapped with one second left unless I thought my arm was about to be ripped off.

Can somebody clear me up on this, I thought neck cranks were illegal. I'm pretty sure I saw one or two attempts last night, and on the shows before the Fight Night I think I saw a couple.

Maybe I don't know what a neck crank actually is, some one here must know.

Neck Cranks are perfectly legal. Every now and then you'll see someone attempting a choke and then just start cranking the neck instead, very painful, and takes alot of strength and the ability to keep the strenth applied for more than a few seconds, but fucking kills the neck.

Also, I hope this is the last we hear of Garcia, he's so overated it's ridiculous. He wins simply by moving forward and swinging wildly, and shouldn't even win. He should have lost his last like 6 fights. You want an example of what's wrong with judging in MMA, watch a Lenord Garcia win.

I am pretty sure on the old ufc.com page there was a rules section and it said neck cranks are illegal.

Nah

You can even choke someone open handed around their throat.. Watch Lesnar/Mir 2.. Lesnar literally chokes Mir like he Is trying to strangle him..

Ehhh. I don't think Garcia is going anywhere or should. He brings it in a way that may not be effective, technical or pretty to watch, but at least he goes in swinging. It's not his fault the judges fuck up and even if he should have lost those fights, they were still entertaining as hell to watch and at the end of the day, that's what the mainstream fan wants to see. He's a slightly better version of Scott Smith.

neck cranks are illegal in lower organizations and in grappling tournaments


I just cant believe he tapped from it. The move hurts like hell but it doesnt really damage anything unless your muscles are so inflexible that it tears the muscles being stretched
