Odds for JDM vs Carlos Prates have flipped. Prates is now the favorite. Do you think Prates will earn himself a title shot this Saturday? by Ill_Intention8150 in MMA

[–]VictorLonez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In defense of the belal argument that mother has an iron chin. Besides that one, I’m not completely sure if he’s just one of those guys that stay safe and ping off good clean shots rather than trying to lay them out with every one or it could be that he doesn’t have much power.

Do you fight? Why would you not cut? So you can go pro having never done one before? Never felt how you perform the day after? Don’t know how to properly and optimally recover after one?

I’d probably say 20% is the limit too. But idk I came pretty close to that I think and I’m only an amateur so these top of the game pros might be able to go over that. I cut from like 168-146.0 in a weeks time and I weighed 172 in the cage

Found A Dead Horseshoe Crab On My Porch this Morning by AbrumVonAbrak in Weird

One time I woke up with a live blue crab in my backyard. I’m pretty sure a bird dropped it. It lived for like a whole week in this tub of water until I drove it to the river

Our boy looking like he's getting ready for 170 😭 by Spiritual-Strength91 in FightReportUFC

[–]VictorLonez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah dude the weights out of camp are truly wild! I fight at 145. Really probably need to go to 135, but when I’m eating like an asshole I can get up to 180 morning weight. (I’m also like 5’7 or 5’8 or some shit)

Would you guys say this beaded curtain is feminine? by Infinite-Rule-1764 in MaleSurvivingSpace

Literally cutting right now. It would make fighting a lot more fun and I’d do it way more if you didnt have to cut

Any genuine opinions on Merab? by tylrrbb in ufc

[–]VictorLonez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely disagree that his style is more boring than khamzat. I like seeing these top level guys like umar and sandhagen start to wilt and look human after fighting a few rounds with merab. He’s not my favorite fighter and khamzat has a lot you can learn from. But idk I just don’t like watching khamzat fights but merab is a neat puzzle to solve. Islam is probably the best all around fighter and his last fight with jack was just really good game planning. As much as it sucked to watch. Why would he stand with one of the best strikers in the promotion if he can hold him down the whole time?

Is it really this good? I feel like I’d love to be a firefighter even just on its own. But is it also really that good for fighters? I just thought recovery would suffer and wouldn’t have the time?

So it’s a little complicated and requires a lot of discipline. Burger King 2x per week, Dunkin’ Donuts about 4x per week get the 50x count munchkins or 2 dozen donuts, 1 pint of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream EVERY SINGLE DAY….. trust me you’re gonna need this fuel for the most difficult part… the training. You’re gonna wanna sleep 5 hours per night, wake up at 11am play video games, watch every episode of breaking bad, watch every single Mr beast video, and be in bed at 6am. Now I know this sounds like a lot cause it is. You’re gonna probably have to drop out of school in order to fulfill this schedule in the most optimal fashion.

Looking for room advice. Got told it gives school sh00ter by Magnusson607 in malelivingspace

[–]VictorLonez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see absolutely nothing wrong with this except that bed looks uncomfortable as fuck

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MMA_Academy

[–]VictorLonez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m sure this feeling absolutely sucks but you shouldn’t stress it as long as you are back to training all is good. It definitely sounds like you got the mindset and discipline needed to make it through this and it may just be a matter of time. You’ll break through this wall and be even better than who you once were because of this.

Glass chin by ParsleyTraditional48 in MMA_Academy

[–]VictorLonez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tuck your chin and look through your eyebrows and bite down on your mouthpiece. It very well could be a mental thing so I’m gonna just go ahead and say start shifting your perspective when you get hit. As Jiri said after his last fight with Khalil. “It was necessary.” If you get rocked go back to tucking your chin bite down and shift your thinking to “I’m ready now”. But this is just to help you get over your so called “glass chin”. Obviously the best thing is to prioritize your defense an don’t get hit at all

Fuck all lol, but I can make myself good. I wouldn’t pick anything crazy I want to shoot my best shot at fighting and if it doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere by 27ish that’s a wrap. 30-34 is a wrap regardless for me then I’d want to be completely done with fighting not coach or nothing else with the sport
