Van het Fok! MMA topic:
Hey guys! First I thought that it was a joke, but now I read that people actually really believe that the beard absorbs punches? Man, I couldn't write this message for about 5 minutes, I was laughing so uncontrollably hard, its really one of the dumbest things I have ever heard!
A person that I work with got an email from somebody saying that I shouldn’t train N******, yep the N word, more dumb stuff that goes along with people like that, and also that Kimbo cheated because his beard would absorb the punches. I told my friend not to react on it because obviously it was an 8 year old kid or somebody on the same brain level, I mean, the beard absorbs the shock?
I wish that we had to do the Nat Geo episode MMA science again. We cut of a bunch of hair of Kimbo’s beard and glue it on the head of the crash test dummy (you must see by now that if you “picture this” that it really is unbelievably dumb right?) than let Tito elbow, and me hit the head, measure the impact, take the hair of and do it again.
Do you really think that will be making a difference? If you think that, you probably also think that Superman is real (his hair is really strong), because that's where it probably comes from, people who think that comics are real.
This is a beard from hair for crying out loud. If you believe this than you have to believe also that Kimbo has also less speed because the beard is not aerodynamic and will slow his head movement down, so that will make up for the impact absorbing BS, hahaha, man, they should glue some hair on air bags, people now will survive the crash because the one layer of beard took the impact away.
I picked up my family late yesterday evening from the airport; they had a later flight than me coming back from Miami. I asked my wife and my 11 year old if Kimbo was cheating because the beard would take away the impact of a punch (I REALLY didn’t make any judgments, just asked them point blanc), they asked me if I was serious and I told them that I read it on the internet, the reaction was a big laugh, not even an answer yes or no. Just to mention one more time, my daughter is 11 years old.
But, if you want to be right, OK, there will be of course a miniscule difference, if they have the equipment to measure such small differences on such great impact, I think it will be about the same as hitting something, than put a plastic bag over it and hit it again.p
