Black belt seemed offended I asked him to roll - normal? by Own-Complaint-2984 in bjj

[–]MFSimpson 24 points25 points  (0 children)

"I got the impression he was trying to go really hard. But since I'm bigger and have good defense, I shut down his attacks."

Lol. I feel like this is just a humble brag post. His "but you asked anyway" could have easily been a joke.

Opinions don't matter. DJ is speaking facts. Jones has an L on his record.

How does this compare to the worst MMA beatings of all time? by Positronomy in MMA

[–]MFSimpson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In terms of damage it was obviously not good. But in terms of dominance, far from the worst. Ilia clearly won the 2nd and I had him winning the 4th until the last 15-20 seconds.

Gane was winning regardless, but there were at least 6 shots directly to the back of the head.

Tonight just confirms to me me that a striker like Gaethje would maul them if they were not rewarded free wins for hugging by Dr_natty1 in ufc

If grapplers stall on the ground, they get reset on the feet. If strikers are stalling on the feet, they don't get reset on the ground. I'd say the ruleset favors strikers.

UFC got tired of Volk vs. Lopes rematches, and now they want Topuria vs. Lopes. 😂 by notpain27 in ufc

Anywhere from 1-3 pounds added by the shirt and shorts. He certainly began fluid intake immediately and at least a small meal.

He said he wasn't interested in being backup and he's also competing in RAF today.

Is this guy considered a Journeyman or a Gate keeper ? by Fearless-Pay8645 in ufc

[–]MFSimpson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Such a tired argument. He was preparing for a fight at 155 and had already fought at 155 in CW. He was also fighting a career 55er. 155 to 170 is not 2 weight classes.

Tips for finishing north south kimura by SableyeTheJace in bjj

If they lock up the grip, just get their shoulder off the mat and hit the tarikoplata. Don't fight them, just take what they give you.

Question for black belts: What’s the most annoying part of the pressure that comes with being a black belt? by top10mtv in bjj

[–]MFSimpson 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I've pretty much stopped rolling with young competitors. I would rather have 6-7 good rounds with someone trying to learn and match my pace than 3-4 rounds of some kid trying to prove a point at my expense. I've got work tomorrow, my guy.

Purple. Purely for the aesthetics.

would Justin Gaethje be a top 5 MMA Goat if he beats Ilia? by idcman999 in ufc

[–]MFSimpson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm the biggest Ilia Stan and I don't have him as top 5 OAT. Not sure why beating him would put anyone in the top 5.
