probably very well, seems to be quite stocky so I reckon he is an explosive wrestler with great top control and vicious ground and pound.
what type of dog is this btw?
Juan Martin
threadly reminder to carb the fuck up and respect animals
Hudson Howard
Why do american only like sports they dominate?
Samuel Roberts
A echidnabull
Luke Morgan
because we only dominate the sports that we like
Christian Hall
I assume is the other way around, but maybe i'm wrong.
Justin Cox
What do you think is the list of sports Americans like?
Logan Thompson
already eaten my 20th banana just now
heem is only accessible to vegans anyway
Cameron Scott
Americans like to ride the hype train.
Ian James
>you have to root for a Brazilian or a Vegan to be champ
Jaxson Brooks
Basketball, American Football, Baseball
Anthony Morgan
List of sports Americans don't dominate: >divegrass >... >... >... there's your answer
Aaron Bell
Kek
Christopher Miller
Who's the dominant American cricket player? I must have forgotten him
Robert Rivera
i thought we were talking about sports.
Kayden Thompson
Ok, i'll give you a list. >divegrass >hockey >ice hockey >rugby >cricket >MMA in the pride era >wrestling >judo
Ethan Allen
>hockey >ice hockey
lmao
Jayden Sanchez
there are a lot of sports the USA is good at that that aren't popular at all. For example: Volleyball No one actually gives a shit about that here, but the teams always manage to be respectable anyway
anyway, that shit applies to every country. Why do the British only like British sports? Why do beaners only like sawker and boxing? etc etc
Dominic Barnes
t bh i'll give you guys wrestling, because you don't dominate it worldwide BUT there is a pretty big fanbase for a olympic sport
Luis Butler
>invented by Americans* x3 Wow, really hard to tell why Americans could both like and dominate those sports
Jaxon Harris
name one sport argentina likes but doesn't domin– oh
James Rogers
>MMA
Sorry kiddo, not a sport.
Cooper James
>mfw /heem/ is always there for me
Charles Lewis
Argentina is pretty ok at Voleyball too, we get BTFO by Brazil though. Mexicans absolutely suck at soccer btw, they seem to like it anyway. We didn't win ANYTHING in soccer for the last 30 years, nothing, not 1 cup, people watch anyway, that's why i asked actually
Brayden Nelson
>field hockey >judo >cricket >implying bullshit about MMA in the past lol, weak b8.
W-w-why don't Americans like meme niche sports that nobody likes!? huh huh! gotcha!
Dominic Roberts
>MMA in the pride era They still don't dominate MMA, look at the rooster of UFC, 3/4 are americans, They were still cucked for years by very few Brazilians who dominated the sport. Now we just have to wait for it to happen again, because it will.
Luke Hernandez
...
Nolan Price
>sasukekun >miocic >vegan does anyone have a source for this
Angel Wright
I don't think USADA would let you lads do that t bh, but you are right, there was a time when MMA got absolutely dominated by a country with half the fighters and 1/8 of the popularity.
Julian Turner
But your main sports are mostly solely practiced by americans. >baseball >american football >basketball Almost nobody outside the US practice them.
Nathaniel Rodriguez
If Cuba and Dominican republic merge, can they win vs USA in boreball?
Alexander Mitchell
>USADA Stop with this meme. Look at the last UFC, Brazilians won most of the fights. The problem is that most of the elite is now literal grandpas.
Jordan Perry
tbf though that's just because your NTs somehow always fuck up, and although I wouldn't really say Argentina dominates football (no country does, really, it's too competitive) it's not like you aren't great at it. I mean, the literal GOAT is Argentinian, and the players in your NT are ridiculously good.
America dominates certain sports, but that's largely because there's nobody else competing with them, at least not with the same dedication.
Hunter Powell
you seem to believe there are no Americans that watch sports they don't dominate.
But I would say sports like Ice Hockey have a very loyal following here, even if its not mainstream. You can't honestly expect us to care about meme Eurosports though. The only reason they care is because they want to circlejerk themselves.
William Rivera
...
Isaac Wright
basketball is the 3rd most popular sport in the world, friendo.
You guys are just mad because you're shit at it.
Michael Bailey
>Almost nobody outside the US plays basketball That's so wrong though. It's probably the 3rd most popular sport behind soccer and cricket (just cause India).
And again, those are American-made sports. Why are you excluding the sport of the 4th major pro league in the US?
Anthony Torres
this
Joshua Davis
You lads get a lot of shit, but in reality it's amazing the ammount of elite fighters you come up with for a sport that's really not popular in Brazil at all. Yeah, you are right. Argentina won against the Dream Team in Basketball in the olympics and then proceeded to win the gold a few years ago, is that a meme tournament for basketball standards?
Brody King
the way Brazilians walk into punches it seems their glory days are over.
All your stars are old as fuck and the youth simply isn't as good against the heightened level of competition they fight against.
Wyatt Russell
If we cared about flopgrass we'd have the best flopgrass team in the world, guaranteed.
Liam Hernandez
Not really, you need more than just money and athleticism to have a good NT in divegrass. You need a whole culture change believe or not.
Jace Bennett
...
Jose Torres
nope, just athletes that aren't 5'6"
Leo Lewis
I'm very impressed by this discussion, no one called me a faggot yet
Not really, the germany NT average is well over 6'0 tall and they are the last to win the World Cup.
Kayden Torres
>Argentina won against the Dream Team The fuck they teach you over there?
Olympics and FIBA World Cup are the 2 tournaments that matter. Look at those gold medals by year
Gavin Campbell
Is this gay porn?
Elijah Green
>really not popular in Brazil at all. is it really that popular anywhere? how much more popular is mma in the us than in brazil? maybe now that there's a lot of stars that are popular outside of the sport itself (ronda, conor) it's getting more popular, but I doubt the gap was that big before
Daniel Flores
I mean, we won the olympics in basketball that year. 2004
Matthew Nguyen
There isn't really a equilavent to Tito and Chuck popularity in their prime in Brazil at the same time. Not even close.
Jaxson Ramirez
>It's probably the 3rd most popular sport behind soccer and cricket (just cause India). I doubt it, but it doesn't prove anything, the fact that cricket or basketball has a lot of practicioners doesn't mean it is a competitive sport outside a few countries, >You guys are just mad because you're shit at it. I'm not mad, Brazilians don't take it seriously, tho I like to watch the games.
Josiah Price
Mark my words Almeida's going to whoop Cody. I hate Brazilians as much as the next guy, but Almeida's style always gets me pumped.
Benjamin Fisher
not a chance. tomas is getting slept in the 1st.
Jace Gonzalez
We have a FIBA world cup gold and a silver too.
Andrew Myers
wasn't vitor a pretty big deal in brazil?
Alexander Gutierrez
1992 is the Dream Team. 2004 (Bronze) is tied for the worst USAB finish and only the 3rd time they didn't win gold at the Olympics, and one of those non-golds is the most controversial rigging in Olympic basketball history during the Cold War
he became a protestant like all decent spics so the papist hues back in the old country stopped liking him
Mason Robinson
Do the best american players compete in the FIBA world cup/olympics or do they snub them?
Matthew Thomas
I'm don't wanna talk in the name of Brazil, but i understand that Vitor went popular after a reality show he did after he left he UFC around the afflictions days, before that no one really knew who he was
Christian Hughes
Well from that angle, it looks like Pickett is giving is the mid air reach around to Tomas
Connor Allen
Brazilians "invented" MMA lad, back then, with the Gracies from Rio. But yeah, it's not that popular. It's widely regarded as pure savagery. No. Anderson was probably the only one who attained real fame. Vitor's wife is probably more famous than him. Brazilian """""""""protestants""""""""""" are kanker, you have no idea.
Jace Powell
Olympics yes. Whatever the FIBA equivalent to Copa America or something like that no.
Luke Bailey
I would appreciate it if we could all start referring to 199 as bisping vs Rockhold 3. Let's not forget about the infamous sparring session that bisping handily took.
Kevin Carter
Now that it's proven that you can pass on problems genetically by smoking marijuana do you think Joe regrets it? Or does he just not care? How short is he?
Andrew Green
How will Rockhold's smug looks to camera translate to an audio only interview?
Justin Sullivan
I know you invented it, but i also know that very little people follow MMA in Brazil, it might be less popular than beach voleyball unironically.
Austin Johnson
This. Rubber match to settle it once and for all
Josiah Butler
Speaking of this what was /heem/'s reaction to Rafael vs Melvin? >MMA point judging at it's finest or >Standard Bellator
Levi Wright
The first. Bellator has nothing to do with the athletic commisions
David Green
it does always seem to choose to go to places that have shit ones though
Gavin Reed
Volleyball is probably our 2nd sport after football. Afaik we only lose to the Soviet Union/Russian in matters of World Championships and Olympics.
Lincoln Parker
It was a lot of both, I remember seeing more posts about the second though
Gavin Foster
how do i achieve full meme mode? what should i train? is 10th planet enough for meme grappling? what is the most meme stand up martial art?
Nathaniel Morales
10th planet and systema
Ryder Butler
systema
Ayden Phillips
10th planet+American Jujitsu(AKA shieldsjitzu)+Kempo Karate ala Chuck
Adrian Morris
>what is the most meme stand up martial art? Boxing. >get hit >quick, let's curl to fetal position and hope the beating isn't too severe.
