KRins Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 So I found out about half an hour ago that I finally get a chance to fight in my first MMA event. Saturday Night, Lakeland Florida... results and victory/forget defeat party details to follow. Say a little prayer that boxing and takedown defense is enough...other dude is 1-1 split decision over a kid I train with. I school the kid I train with standing, on the ground...I struggle against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinblades713 Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Dude I'm jealous. I wanna get into mma, good luck with that man. Whoop some serious arse. on takedown defense, if you have a good wizzer, you're much harder to take down. That and underhooks... man... underhooks kill a takedown.

Iusedtobesomebody Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 make sure your Grapple & Throw are 100%. spam on a partner if need be. make sure your protections are up, and gain the element of surprise with an Uppercut or maybe a Haymaker. good luck. p.s. if you win, full loot baby!

Mali Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I hope you don't have to fight my friend andrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mya Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Don't forget to keep your arms up. I had a friend that Did BJJ and Kick, and when i went to see his first "MAA" match he fought with his hands bellow the waist. Dodging punches. Only when he took a dive did he notice that. Managed to recover and win, but his face went dark purple. I can imagine pressure being so big that people do strange stuff. And GOOD LUCK!!!

Anoneemus Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 My cousin lives in Lakeland, what's the name of the place you're fighting at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quigt Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 There's more to it than punching and grappling. Don't get too nervous or worried that you'll get your *** kicked. The ref. won't let you die, and the other guy isn't going to kill you. Relax and try to have a good time during the fight. Good luck. P.S. Pics or it didn't happen.

EyeSeeU Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Train with the California Kid, He seems to be one of the best pound for pound fighters in MMA currently. Since you said yourself your standup fighting is good, I suggest taking BJJ and learning as much as you can in that. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRins Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Lost...arm barred. I was doing well, I caught him square in the first..only like 10 seconds left though. I got a really really easy takedown in the 2nd, was pushing ankles to the sides to GnP from standing, came down hard one time, missed, cracked my knuckle, left my arm there too long because surprisingly...broken knuckles hurt and got caught. I won the first round on all 3 cards to my credit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montahg Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 ...I have no idea what any of that means. :confused: Lost...arm barred. He lost the match by being submitted with a move called an 'arm bar' I was doing well' date=' I caught him square in the first..only like 10 seconds left though.[/quote'] He landed a good punch on his opponent's face right at the end of the first round. I got a really really easy takedown in the 2nd' date=' was pushing ankles to the sides to GnP from standing,[/quote'] I believe he's saying that his opponent was laying on the ground, while KRins was on top of him, throwing punches downward. came down hard one time' date=' missed, cracked my knuckle, left my arm there too long because surprisingly...broken knuckles hurt and got caught. [/quote'] After having missed his opponents head, his hand must have hit the mat and broken a knuckle. While being in extreme pain, his opponent must have grabbed his arm, and put him in an arm bar submission I won the first round on all 3 cards to my credit... There are 3 judges, and each keep a score for every round. So according to the judges, he won the first round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRins Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 You're right there. I wrestled 4 years in high school 4x state qualifier, was on the UCF team for a while. I assumed that superior standup + wrestling = GnP dominance. Seems like I'm terribly inaccurate punching down though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anoneemus Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Get more hitroll, imo. Your punch misses a mounted brute. Your punch misses a mounted brute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imoutgoodbye Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Well, if you're a wrestler, why punch straight down? Cross-face that mofo. It's also effective for knocking their arms out if they're covering and makes it easier to lock on a vise. Damn....I wish my body had held up.

KRins Posted July 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Umm...standing over him, pushing his ankles to the side, then cross face? You control the ankles, pass to a side and pound. Just don't miss...downward momentum + gravity = greater force on your hand which might = a broken knuckle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBwillie Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 As far as MMA goes, I have yet to compete. I have fought in three Jiu-Jitsu tournaments here in Texas and have earned second place twice and first place once. My instructor is working on getting the videos on youtube, but one of my opponents (Tyson Finley, who won first place in my division at the TXBJJ Travis Lutter Invitational) has posted a video of our match, in which he outpoints me 7-0 in four minutes.

HBwillie Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 His points were at 2:21 for side mount and 3:17 for rear mount. This was my fourth match of the day, the first two in the absolute division (no weight classes) with both my opponents over 200lbs (I cut to 145) and I was utterly exhausted by the time I got to Tyson. Hopefully my other matches will be up soon and I can display my jits. P.S. - I'm the red-haired guy with the black & white shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRins Posted July 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 At the 17 second mark he was basically begging you to shoot a head inside single on his right leg. When he shoots his double at :27, you pulled him into you instead of keeping your hands open and ready to push him out and sprawl (Although I thought you were going to catch the guillotine). Outside of that, your jiu jitsu is a lot better than mine. I noticed a couple tiny things like when you stood up in his guard, your feet were square and you almost got swept. I always stand staggered but that is more habit from wrestling and boxing. He was posting on his right elbow alot while you were in his guard, and I generally try to collapse the posted elbow and go for a kimura which may or may not be sound pure jiu jitsu...as far as MMA goes if I miss the kimura it seems like they either stop controlling my posture and I can get my GnP on or they unconsciously pop their guard open hand fighting with me and gives me a decent chance to pass on the opposite side. Montagh...My knuckle is still on the mend, I can't work a heavy bag without it hurting (not debilitating pain, but I can feel myself hold back some) yet but a speed bag is no problem. I'm a strictly orthodox boxer and no right hand eliminates all but 2 power punches (if you even consider a lead uppercut a power punch...technically it is but I've probably thrown all of 1 in sparring the month leading up to my fight). On the bright side, my jab is even snappier than it used to be (I pride myself on my jab...I'm convinced I'll score a KO one day with a jab.) and I get a lot of BJJ time. I hope to fight in Orlando September 20th or Tampa in mid-November. I would probably be able to fight earlier, but my school likes to send 3 or 4 of us to a show...maybe they get a group rate or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
