Do you have the slightest clue what you're talking about? The epidermis is the outermost layer of skin.

Maybe in the sense that they would open up easily in the future, still I wouldn't call it career ending.

Oh look at this cheery chap, another legend of Sherdog retardation by the looks of it.

Thanks for the delightful message.

Now, on to the point.

Somebody said that a cut on the epidermis could be career threatening, to which I replied with a post suggesting that, as the epidermis covers the entire body except for the nails and lips, that any cut sustained would therefore be on the epidermis, therefore making the original comment somewhat questionable at best.

It's like saying that the worst fires would be with something highly flammable involved, without actually being specific.

Now you, in your infinite "wisdom", are suggesting that a cut on your entire epidermis would result in losing the entire outer layer of skin, after which all the organs would fall out?

Ha ha, and you have the cheek to call me a dumbass?

Hilarious!

For one thing, the epidermis is only the outer layer of skin, and secondly, how the hell is a fighter going to sustain a cut on their entire epidermis, as you suggest?

Er, we were looking for specifics mate, like on the eyelid etc, not just "a cut on the skin could be career threatening".

Thats not really helping the discussion one iota, is it?

Still, at least you didn't call me a dumbass, like that dumbass did...

Ha ha, thank you.

Was thinking that I was the only one with a brain here.

Some idiot then proceeded to say that "if you cut your entire epidermis all your organs would fall out"...

...which is probably the dumbest post I can remember seeing on here for months.

And that takes some doing!

Yeah. Didn't Goldie mention that Marcus Davis (was it Davis?) had an operation to remove a load of scar tissue, presumably for that exact reason.

Or no excellent?

I'm assuming you mean the latter, but in my mind, a cluster of f*cks would be most excellent.
As long as I am involved in the "f*cking"...and by "involved", I don't mean holding the mic, camera and/or lighting
