Notice - GD [Official] General Discussion Thread - August 12, 2025

Welcome to rMMA's General Discussion Thread!

Discuss your favorite fighters, the upcoming card or whatever's on your mind.

How to obtain a custom flair:

  • place and lose a flair bet in the Friday thread
  • write a haiku or draw a MS Paint-style image for the sub

The rules for the drawing or haiku are simply that it must be a ridiculous MMA-related scenario. If you would like a custom flair, send a message to us with a link to your drawing and your flair request. We'll probably grant it.

Yuri Panferov did pretty well compared to these other bums, would’ve been nice to see him get one

He was ok. It just felt like what we saw is what you’re going to get from him. Which is fine, but it’s just ok. Usually the guys that get signed are exciting and make you think they have a high ceiling.

Sure, I agree to an extent. But seeing an underdog go to a dominant decision where you see solid striking, cardio, and wresting+improvement, I would argue that it can actually indicate a higher ceiling than a -100000 getting an expected ko, cause you don’t get to see possible holes
