Roger Gracie "The UFC Has Monopolized Everything"

[Mr. Somebody]

lol, I have a friend, friend...
in RL

who seems to think his BJJ is growing in skill.... and he seems to think just because he's in that gym all the time that his fighting skills are increasing.

I think that sometimes bjj guys think that's all they need to know... but we live in modern times.... I hope I do not have to prove this to my friend, friend.

Well friend, its always good to have a base, and have strategies of how to get the fight into your world. I try to train to fight people that fight now fight someone who cannot because honestly, BJJ will destroy them. Ive sparred 3 purple belts at once and came out victorious. But still, friend, im sure against joe blow he may feel confident but you may not always have bjj to help you so yes its important to understand the basics of striking so you can transition easier into your strengths.

Your friends fighting skills are inrceasing. Im sure he could crush you if hes training that much friend.

you know your position has evolved after all these years right?

 

[Mr. Somebody]

It hasnt really. A BJJ black belt who trains 3 days a week will destroy most human beings on the entire planet without being a good striker. Especially if he lifts weights on top of training. Its not a question.

Now if he is going to be fighting elite fighters then yes you will need striking and things of that nature. Now if hes fighting anyone on your block who doesnt know BJJ? Wash, friend. Wash like money laundering.

Roger Gracie, when he had NO striking, was finishing Elite fighters. Bottom tier, but elite.

Lets think about what that says about Brazillian Jiujitsu

It says you should sign up asap blackking.
ASAP



ASAP!!

A FREAKIN SAP!, friend.

Thats because the UFC doesnt allow BJJ fighters to BJJ friend.

Not at all.

 

[Mr. Somebody]

Not at all.

Its because of the fans. To impatient, to ADD and to blood thirsty.

It's not up to fans to stand up fighters. For the most part, fighters are given more than enough opportunity to work on the ground.

Nah, not nearly enough.

Nah, not nearly enough.

It's true. To be honest, sometimes fighters are given too much opportunity to work on the ground imo

pride penalized guys for stalling, and stood the fight up after a while, and they still had too much time

kinda why I dislike the cage too, he should be nice sized ring, being up against the cage allows for stalling as well

A cage works much better in MMA. I just believe that refs need to do a better job reinforcing rules against stalling (not to say they're doing a bad job).

 

[Another Man]

they deserve too, nobody cared about MMA until the dana white ufc popped off

Wrong.

TUF 1 put MMA on the map....and Dana was actually AGAINST the idea. He just took credit after the fact

I think they should reinforce(and amend) the rules better, and allow four point attacks on the ground cuz the rules as they are combined with the cage kinda gives wrestlers an unfair advantage IMO.
