I had my first MMA fight saturday night and it was very exciting…I was doing pretty good standing up and should have made more of an effort to keep it standing but he got me down with a body lock…I put him in guard, should have held him there and waited for a standup, but I posted on his hip and went for an armbar…when I didn’t get it I tried to transition to a triangle but when I didn’t get that I lost guard and started eating some big shots…I bucked my hips as best I could but eventually he got me in a saran wrap and just unloaded…my other arm was sealed off by his leg…ref stoppage…

I was very happy that I finally fought MMA and it was really fun…I was happy with how my techniques and hip movement felt, I just got caught…I really cannot wait to fight MMA again but next I will probably do kuoshu in Wisconsin in May…

Congrats!!

Sounds like you had a blast! What event was this?

11

Thanks…yeah it was fun…it was Combat Sports Challenge 4 in Richmond, VA…

Way to go.

I think all of us here at KFM should chip in and buy you some real shorts, though. :smiley:

13

LOL…I didn’t have any shorts w/ me cause I just went to watch Sun Tzu fight…I filled in for some dude that didn’t show…all I had was my bathing suit cause I thought maybe the hotel we stayed at would have a hot tub…still it could have been worse…what if I had a speedo?

14

Cool! And you posted pics, so no one can call BS :slight_smile: What happened to your shin? That’s a big lump!

15

I threw a leg kick and he checked it and we banged shins…didn’t hurt at all while I was in there…all that adrenaline…but it started swelling up nicely after the fight…it’s still pretty tender…but the bump has gone down…

16

Roflmao! You should’ve put on some swimming goggles and cap and made it your cool wrestling persona! Aquaman!

Big props for filling in last minute and fighting. Well done.

17

GJ. Never turn down a chance to have alittle fun. Who cares if your in swimming trunks.

you got taken down to the floor by a lowly MMA fighter? Lord, your kung fu is weak and fake :stuck_out_tongue: :smiley:

hey, congrats on having the intestinal fortitude to DO IT… the only loser is the guy sitting outside the ring talking about how “he’d have dun it bettah”

that’s great!

I wouldn’t have done that. I would have won it by …

:smiley:

Just kidding. Good on you for getting in the ring and putting it on the line.

Good work, mate - great effort. Now go massage that shin!
