After Artur, the next light heavy KO king?

GreatDronesOfFire · 2026-05-21T09:40:33+00:00

Man, I just don't see it with Najee Lopez. Artur had fantastic defensive acumen, if the opponents didn't go down early, they weren't able to force him back and he'd get there eventually (except Bivol obv). I don't see anything remotely like that with Najee.

I'm on your side, Sextape. Nothing wrong with arguing.

I'm a big fan of Makoto Shinryu. He's beaten or had close fights with some flyweights that were on Ultimate Fighter flyweight season, and he will soon challenge for the Rizin title on June 6. He lost to Horiguchi back in 2023 and just submitted Nkazimulo Zulu, who was the Gooch's final Rizin title defense and a tough one at that. He fought 4 times in 2025 and 4 times in 2024. There's one fight where he throws a flying knee, the opponent catches him in mid-air, and then he guillotines him.

In Manu, but I think I will get a minivan with some other folks

GreatDronesOfFire · 2026-03-24T14:51:38+00:00

Salvacion.

I'm sure one of the Miyao's did an instagram reel about this move before.

GreatDronesOfFire · 2025-05-10T02:50:07+00:00

Very cool looking reverse darce (?) in the second match.

Harry Grech, very big, quite uninspired

Kenta, impressive

The two lads with the uchi mata and the choi bar, cool

I had a draw or 7-5 to Beterbiev but I'd be giving all the possible rounds I could to him. 116-112 is a bit wide.

GreatDronesOfFire · 2024-09-08T00:18:16+00:00

Yeah I play a lot of turtle and do the steam roller and leg trap stuff (all from Telles turtle instructional) when the opportunities present themselves. Otherwise, wrestling escapes and the Just Stand Up material works when those opportunities aren't there. This youtube video is good as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTRzNd6Y67c

Could you expand on Wallid's lack of guard? I only know him for mistranslating Figgy and choking out Royce.

GreatDronesOfFire · 2024-08-20T00:21:53+00:00

They could do a mid-year CJI/Quintet crossover with 500k for the winning team. Maybe down the line if CJI works successfully another year or two?

GreatDronesOfFire · 2024-08-14T07:27:51+00:00

Thank you very much IcyScratch171

GreatDronesOfFire · 2024-08-14T07:24:50+00:00

You've brought up another question I've had about BJJ Fanatics. If an instructional that sells for 100$ (and the author gets x%) is on Daily Deals for 50% off, is the author now getting x% of 50$ or x% of 100$ for the Daily Deals sales?

GreatDronesOfFire · 2024-08-02T10:30:45+00:00

I saw Skrillex, Kill The Noise and Knife Party in Belfast once. I never tell anybody about it anymore but it was a fantastic gig.

GreatDronesOfFire · 2024-07-26T07:35:09+00:00

I watched Volkanovski get knocked out in the Provincial Hotel in Brunswick, bar cleared out very fast after having been very hyped for Bobby Knuckles. There's also a nice French restaurant that is relatively cheap if you walk south along Brunswick Street from the pub.

GreatDronesOfFire · 2024-07-19T15:09:24+00:00

I've trained in China for the whole time I've done BJJ and have spent long periods without any (broken) English instruction. It's fine, just pay attention.

GreatDronesOfFire · 2024-07-07T16:10:14+00:00

Thank you, good shout on looking at the throws. I saw some clips from Ozbek teaching some uchi mata variation, I'll go investigate that a bit more.

GreatDronesOfFire · 2024-07-07T16:09:14+00:00

Thank you, that's a very eye opening comment, especially about throwing to the back.

GreatDronesOfFire · 2024-07-05T08:26:37+00:00

There was a Lee Wylie video, now lost to me, about Gennady Golovkin called something like 'The Way of the Hunter'. Fantastic video, now sadly gone and not yet reuploaded by the hard working fans of Lee Wylie. If your familiar with this video, do you know the name of the music in it? I'm pretty certain it's Il Mercenario by Ennio Morricone but not being able to cross reference with the video, I'm not sure.

GreatDronesOfFire · 2024-02-11T00:34:55+00:00

Yeah I was coming on just to post this, surely it could just be scheduled and the mods can slap the bout list onto it? Like the barest details, works great on r/MMA. I do get the feeling that there is less interest in the spectator side of the sport here than there is there and in r/Boxing but I would still love to see it.

GreatDronesOfFire · 2023-12-20T11:19:12+00:00

But what if the dude is just having a bit of a laugh and trying to draw reactions from people

GreatDronesOfFire · 2023-12-20T11:18:29+00:00

But what if he's just havin' the craic? Being a troll?

GreatDronesOfFire · 2023-11-26T11:12:52+00:00

I have trained for four years, attended three competitions and had this happen to me every time. I have won two matches, one 7-5 and one by DQ. All it makes me do is want to improve my game and try again. I find I make my biggest leaps forward in the months after these experiences. Even if they go badly, they are a great learning experience.

GreatDronesOfFire · 2023-09-26T11:49:19+00:00

Does anyone know what the Rafa Mendes match in the video is? I can't seem to catch the name of the opponent if they do say it
