This is pretty sweet though, you should have someone record it.

And make sure you blog about it afterwards!

Get up at 4am and run until 6 like Rocky. Also spend your time working on your moves instead of laddering. Use the adrenaline that comes from the nervousness to your advantage. Don't be afraid to use too much energy to swing the fight in your favor.

This is coming from someone who doesn't know anything about fighting, btw.
Please PM me with any songs you like that you think I haven't heard before!

According to the boxing anime I'm watching Hajime no Ippo, what the protagonist in the anime would do against a lanky fighter is to get in close and personal, where his opponent's reach is more of a disadvantage rather than an advantage (the protagonist being a short and stocky guy). Then he'd pummel him with body shots, and once the guy is in too much pain and forgets to keep his chin protected, uppercuts. Not sure if this applies at all to an MMA fight. Maybe this is an option if you're not confident in your takedown and don't have time to work on it?


Lol i'm sure that someone who has been training for a professional MMA fight is going to find the knowledge you picked up from watching a boxing anime incredibly surprising and invaluable

But to the OP good luck no matter what course of action you take.



Well, it's not wrong. If i want to shut down what he is most comfortable with, i have to keep backing him up, and get in close.
Trouble is, i'm a counterpuncher. Never been the really aggressive type.
No matter what, i'll have to fight out of my comfort zone.

If i could execute it. Ross Pearson's gameplan again Edson Barboza, was brilliant. Ross is however far more adept at stalking than i am. Even if his opponent was also 100 times better than mine.


Thanks.

Never actually been afraid to compete before. I've been nervous, excited. But never worried to this degree.
Well, i will atleast try to give him something to worry about.

I'm sure someone will make sure to film the moment when the ref tries to wake me up.

Dude, that boxing anime is like a slice of heaven for theorycrafters like me :D

OT: Good luck with your fight, OP.

Find some hype videos. The kind of videos that make you want to go train/fight in the first place. You know these if you're into any kind of sport.

Than, if you're a counterstriker, and he's slower than you (probably since his strength is range and he came down a weight class) train to dodge his strikes, get into him behind it, throw a couple punches, get out.

Then hope for the best. Don't try to fight "his" fight, make it your fight.

And stop thinking of him as EG.PuMa or any of his accomplishments in the past. Think of him as the next man in your way.

Fighting is one of the few sports where you will still get a lot of respect for losing. Much worse has been lived through in the sport by people with much worse odds. Just do your best. Good luck
