Gracie vs Shamrock for example?

And let's remember that UFC is closer to street fighting than in boxing which fighters never go to the ground.

And none of this matters because even amateurs have thousands of hours training.
The Gracie's use grappling techniques to neutralize their opponent's weight advantage. It's the main selling point of their fighting system. Anyone home yet? Hellooo???

The left is eating its own head, they just cant stand it that Zimmerman was found innocent. Martin was the one who walked back and confronted with violence Zimmerman. He contributed to his demise.

So explain this:

What crime was Zimmerman committing if you are trying to claim Martin was justified in attacking Zimmerman
If your intent is otherwise, then clarify your statement b/c there's no way that this makes sense if you're talking about what happened after they were already fighting. In fact, the only way that sentence makes sense is if you're talking about what led to the confrontation.

Corey did what she was told to do, prosecute gz. Rotten evidence, rotten witnesses, rotten legal case, reflecting the rot of how gz was politically persecuted.
I think I would rather be persecuted than dead. GZ put himself in that situation. The trials over. The worshippers of the obese one can now at least try to be honest.
1. GZ is a creepy wanna be.
2. GZ followed a man for no good reason.
3. His wounds aint all that bad.
4. He lied and exaggerated.
5. Most adults would have the common sense not to do what GZ did. One can reasonable predict the potential for a confrontation.
Come on be honest none of you supporters would appreciate being treated the way GZ treated TM.

Wrong...Martin was getting the better of Zimmerman, which does not prove that he attacked him other than in self defense against the unidentified weirdo that was following him.

What do you think the Prosecution could have done differently (aside from not concealing more evidence from the defense)? Is there incriminating evidence that the prosecution failed to present at trial?

No GZ DNA on TM's hands, knuckles or clothes?
Precisely he beat on a guy who was not fighting back. He stopped the threat, enough already. Once he punched Z in the nose, he should have walked away.

Not exactly over yet.

Zimmerman could still be held responsible for Martin's death

In this instance the guy on the prowl carrying the loaded gun was the would-be murderer before he shot Trayvon Martin.
You accuse Zimmerman of everything that is just ridiculous and then absolve Martin of the fact that he was beating a mans brains in. Zimmerman had every right to shoot Martin in SD and its a great day for CCW and defense from thugs.
