Sports - My MMA fights - View Post

You look like many of your fights are against the same type of guy. It said featherweight so I'm assuming you are 145-ish but you look really tall (for the weight class). If I said 5'9" or 5'10" at that weight would that be right? You look like you have reach on most of the other guys.

Anyway you look like you can think on your feet and exploit really amateur mistakes. (That dude just gave up his back and didn't seem to care afterwards.) So far you have aggression and don't mind mixing it up. Those are all good.

It would actually be much more informative to know about your loss. Did you just get submitted by a better wrestler as an example? A lot of the low end amateur stuff just doesn't countfor much in my mind because while lots of people enjoy training most really don't seem to enjoy the getting hit part. When you get two guys who do not mind the hitting then things get interesting. The wheat is separated from the chafe real quick there. So far you look like wheat.

I don't mean that to sound like an ass. Most of the fights you posted were done early but it didn't really seem like they absorb knock out punches or that you had some amazing punching power. They guys maybe even looked like they just gassed out from nerves in less than a round or they didn't enjoy getting punched.

Back when I played football it was a similar thing. I'd see all these guys out there and they would get all wide-eyed and make the crazy growls and totally act the part but when they got hit, you could just see they didn't like it. Other folks you saw just the opposite. They felt and gave the impact and the thinking was plain, "Oh yeah baby, this is it! It's on!" So far you seem to have fought guys that just didn't seem to want to absorb any real punishment which isn't uncommon at that level. Just my two cents.
