Has anyone ever fought MMA?

[Maha]

I'm just curious if any of you guys have actually fought in an official MMA sanctioned match. Octagon or ring. With 4 ounce gloves or something.

If so, what was you're experience like? Were you a double 0 class?

[JiayoJames]

Yeah I have. I was so good they had to ask me never to do it again because if I carried on there would be no competition.

True story.

[jo>.<el]

i did MMA beofre i knew what tricking was, i dident ever compete but i got offered a few times iv also beat people up with no gloves lol

[*L-V*]

Yeah I have. I was so good they had to ask me never to do it again because if I carried on there would be no competition.

True story.

Yeah, I remember, I fight against him 2 years ago...

I'm still recovering... I'm so afraid now, when I go sleep, I look under my bet to see if JiayoJames isn't hide, ready to beat me again :ogre:


It's nice to see you abondon this kind of things by the time. I feel a little safer now!

[gabrielb]

nope, done jiu jitsu...its fun. absolute division was weird, white belt division. i got beat by a guy twice my size and weight, i tossed him around like a ragdoll but he caught me in a triangle on my temples. that shit made my head feel like it was gonna pop.

[TimmyC]

I used to trick with this guy Ken. I think he's k1stone on TT. He's 5-0 I believe, and he started fighting last Fall. He corks after every win:

[[RozoN]]

Yeah I have. I was so good they had to ask me never to do it again because if I carried on there would be no competition.

True story.

This is indeed very true. I saw it with my own eyes...

[Seriy]

My first match is august 22nd.

Training has been intense.

thats cool im soo looking forward to that.. im training for feather weight aswell since im pretty small i cant get more then like 65 kg =/ what your intense training involves? you found a pro to teach you.. Like someone who raised MMA fighters? :smile:

[shengoikee]

Care to elaborate?

yeah ok

i just don't like it haha. how's that?

[Torre]

:good: haha

[Inkrepid]

Holy crap...towels..in mma?!
God I hope your a grappler.

[[RozoN]]

I really hope you'll survive towels:eh:

[Maha]

towlie what wieght class do you fight in!?

I'm 180 lbs. I'm not sure what class that puts me in. For this exhibition I think they are just trying to match as close as possible without strict parameters.

I have a 78 inch reach and I'm tall.

Holy crap...towels..in mma?!
God I hope your a grappler.

I would consider myself more of a striker personally.

But drilling armbars and locks has gotten me pretty confident in ground work. Our instructor (did ufc a few times blah blah blah) told me that apparently it's harder to grapple with taller lankier opponents for some reason.

Win or lose, you'll see the video online.

My dad doesn't want me to do it because he thinks I'll get killed.

My brother convinced them to let me try it.

I figured if I'm going to be fighting against double 0's (No experience) my tiny experience in boxing and ground work might help enough to give me the upper hand.



My training consists of running a mile at the start. Every quarter mile, you sprint. (Shit is so hard. Soon it'll be 2 miles then soon we will be carrying weights)

then immediately you sprint back to the gym and start drills. Different stations for different endurance testers. Bags on the ground for ground and pound, and kicking pads. You go all out for a minute then switch. Around this time kids start passing out and vomiting.

We then work basic punching and takedown drills. Then he teaches us a new armbar lock or something and we practice it until we have it locked in our heads.

THEN we try it while our opponent tries to resist it.

Then we spar.

Drill a few more then head home.


At home I have my own little routine now too. But it's basic running and punching.

[brandonn]

you're gunna need to drop a lotttttttt of weight
probably about 25-30 pounds. seriously the 180 class guys are monstrous

[Andy R]

towles this will help your tricking!

I see thats good man il believe in you as fellow tricker :good: but this training is not as intense as that of real MMA competitors yet.. but i suppose youl get there in time not everything suddenly, but tell me when youl be training with this Kind of Tire thats sick :D http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/77/Traktor_Rückansicht.jpg/752px-Traktor_Rückansicht.jpg

[saulus]

how tall are you!?
you do not look like you have much muscles so you must be pretty tall....
i believe you could win since everybody is a beginner
but you could get someone who is like 180cm 180lbs and 12% bf....
i really want to see that fight...

[Futurebb]

Yeah i do MMA, my first fight will be sometime in september.

I actually Train with Brock Lesnar and Sean Sherk at the Minnesota martial arts academy but not so much with Brock since he has his own little crew working with him to get him ready for his fight on August 9th.

[Inkrepid]

Holy hell towels. Seriously dude, dont fight at 180. You will get manhandled so bad. Drop some weight, or put on some serious muscle.

[Gravityjay]

Not being funny, actually I am being funny ha ha. But at 180 you will get destroyed.

[simon]

mma is for pussies. i'll just double cork round them to the face


edit:oh jesus andy hahahaha

[Seriy]

They can double surprise something in a face pretty hard to :tongue:

[Maha]

Holy hell towels. Seriously dude, dont fight at 180. You will get manhandled so bad. Drop some weight, or put on some serious muscle.

the next class down is around the 160ish range. I don't think 20 lbs will honestly make that much difference.

I have a 78 inch reach. If a 180 cm fighter fought me, he'd have around a 68 inch reach. Regardless of the 20 lbs of muscle difference, I still could strike them almost a full foot before the ever got close to me.

[Gravityjay]

but then when they take you to the ground you would be fucked as they would be 20 lbs of muscle stronger...

Omg that dude got pounded on.

Taller guys are harder to grapple with tho.

[Inkrepid]

Taller guys are harder to grapple with tho.

Tell that to fedor!

Royce gracie's legacy is an interesting read on Wiki.

Tho he was kind of an asshole. And he rarely let go when people tapped
