I dont know why but I keep rewatching this fight, I think its kind of funny how humble the white guy is vs how tough the mexican guy tries to portray himself beforehand:

Interesting fight, tough guys. Notice that the fight went to the ground almost immediately the beginning of each exchange, the white guy knew to mount, but didn't know how to finish. Both fighters got decent grips standing, but didn't really know how to throw, and lost their advantage. And the Mexican guy gassed in a couple of minutes (and that would have lost him the fight if he wasn't allowed to take a break).

So we learn:

1) Ground fighting skill is necessary.
2) Throwing and take down skills can potentially win the fight, and will at least insure the fighter who knows how to throw will end up in a dominate position for the nigh inevitable ground fight.
3) Superior endurance will often win the fight.

Great observation, Tim!

And people actually base their ability to fight on guys like that.

That looked like a "D" level MMA fight.

The more "real" one on one challenge fights you see like that the more you have to admit the Gracies were genius.

The Gracies were geniuses no doubt, with a lot of credit to Maeda for initially modifying his techniques to deal with no rules mixed fights.

"...with a lot of credit to Maeda"

The truth!!!!!!!!!

another good one this doesnt go to the ground so quickly:

Thats why im not scared of gangsters. None of them can really fight, save for a select few... Thats why they use guns and knives.

Though i still avoid trouble with them the best that i can.

that's why they use guns, knives and pepper spray.

robert, but they are often very violent and dont have an "off" switch. So if they do connect and your in trouble your really in trouble, plus they often can take a hit or two to many before giving up.

That may be true enforecer, but im just not afraid of it. I did forget to mention however, the fact that gangs usually fight in groups. In that case, I guess i could say im not scared of getting an ass whuppin. Ive had my fair share of getting jumped.

Still, i dont like it, and try to avoid it at all costs.

As far as gangbangers like this, they are so predictable in a fight. They just rush in and start swinging at your head. Its Not very hard for me to counter and throw a guy to the ground, possibly on his head, when they attack in such an off balanced manner.

I'm with you, Robert!

There is a reason they fight in...gangs!

so if you see one of them with say two of his friends near him watching challenging random people in a rage do you step in and take the challenge or keep walking and hoping they wont attack anyone?

Oh,their "off switch": cardio and being choked unconcious.

LoL, Backarcher. xD


Enforcer

I can understand your urge to bring these fools to justice. But beating these people up and trying to teach them a lesson (they wont learn(this way) isnt worth being targeted by them in the future.

Usually in situations like this, someone else will do something first. If things really get hectic, the police are more then likely going to be called.

Really bad things dont happen when people are watching.

What would i do? Well, when i see youngsters acting dumb, i just mind my own business. Unless they are doing something very serious.

Im not advising anyone to be a snitch. But if you have to, enforcer, call the police. Dont involve yourself. You seem to be stressed out enough, about the encounters you've already had.

"Oh,their "off switch": cardio and being choked unconcious."

I dont know, I mean sure it isnt too hard putting someone in a rnc on the ground due to them tunring their back when you hit them if you have mount. but, standing up i found it hard turning people around even out of the blue before theya re even engaged to put them in a choke and not have them fall back resisting or twist their head out of it or if they are strong bend downward tyring to flip you over. It isnt as easy as you say it is. I am pretty small though.

I meant rnc not mc sorry.
