Default Thoughts on covering somones mouth and nose with your hand...
Henderson spent at least fucking 2 minutes doing this to silva and as far as im concerned is bullshit. It takes no technique to cover someones mouth and nose with your hand and if you can't do something real on the ground it should be stood up. I lost some respect for Henderson because of that I mean he got Silva to the ground and did nothing with it. Of course Silva was doing his best to tie up hendo, but in the post fight interview he said maybe he should have popped up and thrown some shots... Instead of trying to finish the fight he decided to cover silvas mouth and nose with his hand till the end of the round....

Thoughts...

I agree. I thought that was dirty, and most likely one of the reasons that Silva (while still professional and respectful) kind of didn't give a shit about Henderson and didn't give him mad props like he did with Rich.

Just like elbows on the ground it's legal and doesn't take any skill, but it didn't hurt Silva since he can breathe threw his nose. Henderson would have been better off throwing some hammer fists instead.

I've seen a lot some others do it, Penn does it. I don't mind it so much. It's a fight. If you don't like it, get your ass out of that situation. didn't seem to matter much for Henderson. lol.

henderson was obviously scared to stand with silva so i guess what else could he do lol it's even funnier that he said he could and would stand with him

Elbows on the ground require no skill? How about getting into position to posture up or pass gaurd to land effective elbow shots? You are quite possibly the biggest retard on this board and thats no small distinction. Stay at sherdog where you and the other mental midgets can argue that promises and contracts need never be honored. Oh and try not to procreate too much.

On a different tangent, I think the gloves rubbing over someones face is dangerous in terms of cuts. I wonder how many times a cut has been opened up by the seams on someones glove or something like that.

Yes throwing elbows on the ground is not a skill, anybody can do it, its like throwing a light hammer fist, everyone knows how to do it?
I am not saying it's not effective or that some guys do it better than others, but you don't get a black belt in throwing elbows on the ground.

Of course getting into position and posturing up is a skill I never said it wasn't, again you must learn to comprehend words better.
You misinterpret everything I say.

this isn't something new. many fighters have done this and continue to do so.
