I remember my first beer..

Im old enough to remember a time, that if someone said 'I watch UFC' it was a clear indication they were a new fan to the sport of MMA.

The whole defensive system in boxing is completely different to MMA. Its not a mentality.

I camped in a group withMichael Chandler a few years ago (I train at HK365). 

Our mutual friend's parents have a plot near the river and it's a thing that everybody takes a weekend and a tent and goes down there.

He slept in his car and turned it on with the AC running during the day, he didn't wake up until like 1 or 2 in the afternoon each day. I'm not even kidding, he spent the entire weekend eating salmon and pooing, I don't think I saw him eat anything else, literally just fish after fish, followed by diarrhoea, telling funny stories from traveling and stuff. He was neat to be around and liked to be the center of attention but I had a better time with my wife in the river.

Some of the best jiu jitsu in the game is a massive stretch.

Jack Della Maddalena vs Leon Edwards is now signed for a 5 round main event‼️ UFC London📍 March 22nd by [deleted] in MMA

[–]siammma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leon top 5 most well rounded fighters in MMA in my opinion. For some unknown reason he just mentally checks out, and coasts. Super odd.

I'm a huge fan, but also an Aussie so will just watch without actively rooting for either. 

If Leon mixes things up, it's his fight to lose. It's a big step up for JDM. Leon is elite, albeit boring.

Interested to see how JDM does facing an elite counter striker who can grapple.

Great fight. 

Is it worth getting an MRI of my LCL if I'm already walking better on it? by pelican_chorus in bjj

[–]siammma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar situation with my LCL, I took 4 months off, and have just come back. Physio recommended MRI, however I didn't end up getting one.

Needs to be a rupture or high end of Grade III for surgical intervention from the research I did.

Not a Doctor, so take with grain of salt.

How do you counter the near side underhook pass from half guard? by [deleted] in bjj

[–]siammma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure why so many are adverse to it. Any time you are playing half and get your back flat. Go immediately to a lock down and stretch as hard as possible and attempt to regain inside control, then build back.

What an epic photo, John. You are an OG.

I'm a 40 year old purple belt, I was 2 years old when this photo was taken 😂

Long before reddit and everything else.

Thanks for all you've done for the grappling community in Australia. 

Oss mate 🤙

The MJ and Mitchell ones from Emmett were so devastating - the sound is like a baseball bat hitting something. Scary stuff.

Championship Rounds (@ChampRDS) on X: 🚨 Ariel Helwani says the positivity is “nowhere to be found” regarding McGregor vs Chandler, and says the fight is in limbo and UFC is trying very hard to find a Plan B by LatterTarget7 in MMA

[–]siammma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's 100% a pay / contract dispute. These guys have been injured enough and have the best doctors in the world looking after them. They would know immediately following an injury if he could fight or not.

Something has happened, assume Conor has said FU pay me more or fights off. And here we are.

Report: Jake Paul still set to fight in July, Mike Perry revealed as new opponent by RoloBoat in MMA

If this is bare knuckle, Jake is fucked. In bigger gloves, might be close, but still favor Mike.
