Hey all, just had to share the news of my first fight. The 16th i had my first amature MMA fight. Been a long time fan, studied karate, jujitsu when i was younger and trained self defense when i was a corrections officer. Got myself in shape and gave it a go. Nervous as hell but that all went away when i heard the entrance music and the crowd. Okay, the crappy part, i tapped to a guillitine choke 1:26 into the first but the guy out weighed me by 15 pounds and studied at a jujitsu gym. Win or lose that was the coolest experience id ever had. Now i know what to work on and im looking forward to the next one in a few months.
Very cool man, you sound like you are in good spirits about the whole thing and you understand what you need to work on. I wish you luck with everything and keep training hard. Your fights are won during training.
Thats cool man! Win some lose some, just stay in the game.
What matters in the end is that you did it!
I know this cat called Sami Berik - his record is something like 12-20, and I really look up to him anyways!
Basically i went at him, we threw a couple punches. I shot in, bending over more than lowerering my level like i should have. He locked up my left arm and we were both sprwled out a little. He forced me to the ground a couple times but i got back up. then he tried an anaconda but i defended that. Finally made a move that he new id react to and when i did in went the guillitine. Under my chin at first with me punching away at his ribs. Then he sunk it in and i knew it wasnt gonna be good. Things started fading so i tapped. After the fight we went back stage and he showed me how he did what he did. My neck hurt all the way down to my ass the next two days.
nice stuff man, respect for getting in there and doing it. i have my first amateur thai fight on the 13th september so it's great to hear about other people's first fights. good job
ya man at least you stepped in there and fought. good job
Ive been a fan for 5 years now and im also gunna be having my first fight I cant wait
its a 1 night elimination tourny as well, but the rounds are only 3 minutes.

Appretiate the support. Gotta find me a jujitsu coach, or at least someone who will let me get them in joint locks and choke holds over and over and over.....
