Being a hardcore fan of MMA for nearly a decade and writing about it for several years, I hear a lot of the same phrases repeated by fighters, commentators, journalists/bloggers, sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, d**kheads… and they all think I’m a righteous dude. So, whether you’re a newbie to the MMA world or an old-skool fight fan, you’ll find my translations of MMA cliches either enlightening or you’ll just nod your head knowingly. Enjoy!
“This is my toughest fight/opponent”
“He could change the course of this fight with one punch”
“I want that belt!”
“No way this fight goes to the judges!”
“Yeah, it was a close fight but I think I did enough to win.”
“He’s throwing with bad intentions/swinging for the fences”
