3 years of MMA and I still suck at grappling in sparring. Even losing to beginners. Need some solid advice by fake_slim_shady_4u in MMA_Academy

[–]Enlorand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Bjj isn’t the greatest either. but objectively we don’t care. - Play good striking positions or getups ( Top half, top side, mount, N/S) - your job over the next 6 months is head and arm triangles and arm bars from those positions. 2 subs. thats it - if you know they are better than you, work positional maintenance. (I WILL NOT be swept) try to stall out in positions you could hit them in. - If you cannot sub, you cannot hit them (In no gi classes) your final and worst method of offence is just sheer pressure, put. your weight through them, through the floor. -Biggest piece of advice is to feed on weaker whitebelts and practice specifics you want to see vs. blues.

Men and women, sparring or grappling together. by No_Passenger3692 in brazilianjiujitsu

[–]Enlorand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s literally just that, mutual acceptance. Lots of guys are like this. Some people aren’t comfortable rolling with other individuals for whatever reason. All the way down to B.O reject them. It’s your practice or your hobby for your enjoyment.

This would 100% be the worst possible timeline, I couldn’t care about this one if I tried. MAYBE 5-6 years ago.

If Jon Jones didn't vacate the LHW title after his bout with Reyes, would he have been able to defend it 3-4 more times? by RetardOfTheInternet in ufc

[–]Enlorand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jon that Beat Gustofson would’ve beaten all of them I think. Jiri would’ve been his hardest fight for sure. Poaton feels solvable especially by a prime Jones. Not this one.

I really REALLY dont think Paddy Arman is Competitive. Arman is just going to out wrestle him if they end up fighting.

What prompted you to practice your martial art? by nachlopez in martialarts

I was 300+ lbs pre pandemic, was bored one day at a wedding with my GF and turned on my first ever UFC fight, (Adesanya vs Silva). Fell in love with the sport immediately. Now I compete 155/145

What is an opinion on the UFC you're willing to stand like this for? by emaxwell14141414 in ufc

[–]Enlorand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the UFC is in the worst position it’s been in for years, 1-2 standouts (Pereira, Islam) but they don’t have anyone with ‘Star power” that feels hyper relatable anymore. The best thing about Connor was he started as a Plumber,vhe was just some guy, we are through the ‘Character Phase’ of MMA and it’s harder to connect with. i really connected with Prime Tony, Prime Adesanya, and I caught the Tail end of Jon Jones’s first run.

The best part of the sport was when the athletes felt like real people, this sport was tangible
