Thread: The next couple of months in MMA

Indeed. He would have tapped after the initial "hey my arm just snapped" adrenaline wore off, pretty quickly might I add.

Also, that's pretty awesome that you're starting in on MMA training, it's fun when it's not bjj. Maybe that's just because I'm not good at it though. I'd much rather enjoy my reach advantage that I generally have than get beat on the ground. Come to think of it, I need to stop being lazy and start back in on that myself.

I'm actually pretty well-rounded. My grappling is stronger than my striking, just because I'm a wrestler and am wrestling minded, but I have a few years of martial arts training and I'm really, really strong, even for my size.
