Ask a guy that took a fight for this weekend anything!

[YesThatGuy]

I've been training hard for my fight at 145 lbs at the end of May.

I've been bugging my head trainer a lot lately and he asked my why I was so eager to fight. I told him I felt that amateur fights were great learning experiences, win or lose.

He then asked me if I wanted to fight this weekend at 155 sense my weight is hovering around there and I said sure!
He said he'll talk with the promoter tonight and see if they have any green 155'ers ready to go.

I am at 162 lbs tonight.


The only downside is I ate way toooooo many leg kicks in sparring tonight (again) and have been dilligently popping the ibuprofen and icing it. Hopefully it will feel better come fight time.

No. This is super legit. After that first fight I actually started training with a real camp and am doing everything through them.

I was joking. Is the card all ammy fights or does it have pro?

[YesThatGuy]

Most likely.

If girlfriend is able to go, she will video tape for sure. If she doesn't, I will have to wait for the promoter to get me the video.

I am not sure to be honest. I am having to travel for this fight as it is a few cities over and didn't really know about it.

[injured44]

thats cool hope you win you are the resident badass of the MMA section

Seven pounds should be a super easy cut for you. If you are eating a lot of fiber, you can probably cut four pounds by just not eating for twenty-four hours.

You going to compete in grappling too or just MMA?

[YesThatGuy]

That will always be King Baer's title

Until we fight each other down the road...... ohhhhhhh early hype

I plan on doing NAGA this summer when it comes close to my town again.

But before then, if I fight at all of our local events which is about 1 per month, I should have 3 more AM-MMA fights.

Wow, a fight every month?

[YesThatGuy]

Wow, a fight every month?

haha, that is wishful thinking at best.

I'd like to. I guess we'll see how my body holds up.

[ruskism]

Wow, a fight every month?

Some people fight almost every weekend. :[

[Kane Fan]

Yeah, I have trained with a couple people who do. But it's easy here. There's two shows every week.

Thanks KF!

my advice (youll prbably already have it from your camp) for the legs is to ice them at first, but then use hot water compresses, or hot baths every day as often as possible after the first 24 hours.

brings blood to the surface of the skin, and forces fresh blood to the bruises.

Do you have your Slater Slam dusted off and ready to go?

[HardGainer82]

Don't F*CK with AC Slater.

[Clark_Kent]

Don't F*CK with AC Slater.

Especially if you are preppy.

You will get your **** messed up.

[YesThatGuy]

hahaha

or maybe i can AC slater and take a reverse **** on him wait wut

[YesThatGuy]

well, it is official...........

My opponent is 1-0 and my coach said that his coach said he likes to stand up and is more boxing oriented. Does that mean I'm supposed to stand up to and try to bang? Or is this some reverse psychology **** where he is a jiu-jitsu expert.

Talk to people that know him and ask them his strengths. Then use that and then when you fight him if you are on the bad hand of the exchanges go to the ground.

is this a shot at someone....

someone who did this before? and acted like he was the man for beating said "TKD guy"???

[YesThatGuy]

He is from another camp in a different city so I won't get to get any kind of scoop on him besides that. I'll let you know what his physical attributes are after the weigh in tomorrow.

you should be able to find fight results somewhere online even if the information is fairly obscure
you can't know for sure as you don't know the quality of his opponent but if he won by KO vs Submission that info may be somewhat relevent

If he likes to stand up and bang, plus he is also more boxing oriented...

Hmmm, I somehow doubt he hit a submission.

not sure if you were paying attention but that info came from the opponents coach, they SHOULD be honest for purity of the sport but you can't always trust them

[conisag]

Bang with him for a minute and check his timing, speed, power, generally work out how well he defends aswell as offends in the stand up, if your not comfortable set up a take down greco or other wise.
