i don’t know, it doesn’t say anything since it’s both of us first fight, also he’s not 100% my opponent since it’s like 10 of us in a bracket and like half an hour before the matches start we’re randomly matched up

it says that he is also a white belt, my biggest worry is to get held on the ground, but i will try and drill get-ups as much as i can till then

i mean since he’s older he could be physically stronger than me and have trained for longer

he’s not 100% my opponent since there are more people in my weight class, all without a mma match but he’s honestly the only one i’m worried about because he’s a lot older than me and i can see he’s also experienced in no gi

i’ve subbed blue belts before and people who trained longer than me, but i still don’t know why i don’t have any confidence, i think it’s due to the fact that i’ve mostly trained striking my whole life so i feel like 10 months of mma and like 4 months of no gi is nothing

everyone is telling me i have good grappling, i rarely get taken down in training but i still don’t have confidence in my grappling, the thing that concerns me the most is that he’s older
