Fighting style named for the home town of UFC's Nick Diaz: Stockton, CA - America's 8th most miserable city. The Stockton Style is most properly applied to professional fighters, however, it can be applied to any team/contestant that boasts about superior skill while making disparaging remarks about the opponent, and then proceeds to get embarrassingly demolished.
Key features include, but are not limited to, the following:
Pompous self promotion
Alleging cheating of your opponent with no evidence
Failing a drug test scheduled more than 6 months in advance
Mocking an opponent during competition for using a sound, winning strategy
Insisting on superior skill following a highly publicized defeat
Threatening to retire following a highly publicized defeat
Publicly admitting to felonies for no reason
