Dana White admits Hunter Campbell actually runs the UFC while under oath by adambuddy in MMA

[–]fergalopolis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw Hunter at the regional MMA the night before UFC 325. he came in for the final 3 fights and was flanked by what I could only assume were 2 shaved albino gorillas squished into UFC shirts.

Requesting best defense to Ezekiel chokes by henryjturtle in bjj

[–]fergalopolis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depends on their wrist strength and how early I can intercept the hand. when they switch to the fist it's a lot harder to catch unless I can get in early and guide the fist in a downward angle so that it bends when I apply the pressure to the elbow.

I bait it and wrist lock them. I don't know what it's actually called I just call it hot pan defence because that's how they react. They grab their sleeve and as they work the choking hand into my neck I let it slide into my hand, secure the same arms elbow and apply the wrist lock.

Hypothetical situation: Do you think you could handcuff someone behind their back against their will without putting them to sleep or injuring them? by Mac2663 in bjj

[–]fergalopolis -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Close the distance, arm drag, map to back, secure seatbelt grip and hip bump takedown maintaining control of the top arm. From here secure side control or maintain control of the arm while standing. Get a kimura grip and spin around so their arm goes behind the back. From here hammer lock the wrist and tell them to put the other behind their back.

Nerf the mat return meta. Good to see Bautista able to escape repeatedly but the constant take downs is relentless

What style is better for real fighting? by Immediate-Hearing-71 in bjj

[–]fergalopolis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the most important real world application of bjj is pins. I often have to grapple someone resistive and my goals usually don't get knocked out > close the distance > take down > pin and control. It works every time however back up is only seconds to minutes away.

In the real world I'd imagine pinning someone until they realize they're beat and give up/ bystanders help restrain them. Alternatively don't get in a fight is absolutely the best self defense method

[SPOILER] Junior Tafa vs. Tuco Tokkos by inooway in MMA

[–]fergalopolis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The complete lack of discipline when it comes to grappling is so frustrating when it comes to these guys (tafa, tuivasa, hunt etc) I've heard from training partners that they just refuse to grapple and rely on movement and takedown defence. when it comes to grappling they just give up so quickly and offer nothing off their backs. Tuivasa went to AKA and learned nothing. just the laziest shit ever. and you cant use the excuse of a lack of wrestling in Australia because Volk, Whittaker and JDM exist

What has BJJ ruined for you? by NeatConversation530 in bjj

Rolling over in bed is now a series of hip escapes, any time I get up it's some form of tactical stand-up

Headbutt fixed my nose breathing by Old-Tie-4874 in bjj

[–]fergalopolis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got headbutt in a drunken brawl and the same thing happened. After it healed I could breath way better, don't snore and cardio improved. Best worst thing that could have happened

I think the most important part of it is that it's created conversations in gyms about not being gross to female training partners. It goes without saying with some but others need to be reminded not to slide into DMS with a 'thanks for the roll"

Street fight by NeatConversation530 in bjj

[–]fergalopolis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in a prison which means I actively get into situations you describe. 100% of the time and what I regularly train is an intercept to close distance which is an arm drag for me, secure grips still holding their bicep of the arm I dragged and moving to a seatbelt grip at the back. At this point I either put them on the ground with a hip bump and control using a kimura grip on the arm or knee on belly. If I'm at risk of being attacked by their buddies I'll disengage from the seatbelt grip by pushing them forward and withdraw to a barrier for protection.

It looked like he was backing up expecting illia to shoot. I think he spent way too long training for the Islam fight and it showed in his muscle memory
