Re: UFC?
Is there anything better than a pro fighter vs an internet tough guy?

Also Lewis vs oleneik is going to be an interesting test of how Derek has adapted to high q ground game
There is always more to learn , fish to catch , places to see and friends to make.

Re: UFC?
Oleneik is this weird anomaly of fighting styles. That gloved ezekiel he gets from under the mount is so weird. After the second one a couple of us got together and tried to figure out what he was actually doing and it almost always resulted in the person trying to apply the choke getting armbarred.smokin_reels wrote: ↑Wed Jul 29, 2020 10:04 pmAlso Lewis vs oleneik is going to be an interesting test of how Derek has adapted to high q ground game
I'd love to see a seminar or an instructional from him on exactly what's going on and why his arms aren't vulnerable.
Got Lewis for this one though. Also don't listen to me, i'm a hopeless tipster.

Re: UFC?
Alex won the MMA match and Max won the 'fight'.
The 10 point must system is fundamentally flawed and most MMA judges dont' even train.

Re: UFC?
Not a massive UFC fan but my brothers are so I sit down and watch the occasional main event if I’m around. It seems to me that the sport plays up to marketable personalities not who necessarily is the best at times. Then there’s the different promoters where fighters are locked into contracts.

Unfortunately promoting 'personalities' seems to be more effective than promoting the actual fighting. The McGregor thing was always fascinating to me, but on the upside, more money and more people interested in the sport make it easier to get students and make a living out of what I do. I think a really good chunk of our students under the age of 25 are interested in Martial Arts because they heard him talking then watched him fight. Same deal with Rhonda and the ladies, although she had a heap of title defenses as well. She could have armbarred 100 people in a row, without the personality that went with it, anyone outside of our very little niche just doesn't care.
The local scene is finally getting itself together. It's popular enough that venues are starting to pay attention to it, and the sport is attracting higher quality athletes that might otherwise go to Football (or whatever). There are intra-clubs popping up that are more than just a couple of guys with vague ideas throwing haymakers at each other. The last 5 years in Melbourne has been really really good.
The level of some of the teenagers coming through the system is staggering in BJJ and MMA. There are 16/17yo's who look like the pros looked 15 years ago. There are very few one trick specialists anymore, everyone in the system seems to be pretty well rounded and the progression on the local level is staggering.
