I kind of like the no heel hook rule. As Paul Harris has routinely showed, you can cause so much damage so quickly... it hurts my knee just thinking about it tbh.

But then again I guess I'm kind of a hypocrite because I'd like to see soccer kicks and stomps to the head of a downed opponent brought back.

Yeah when i both pictures of the fighters to me before the fight there looked like one winner. Your very toned up and have probably no fat on you, however you have no muscle either so i doubt you have much punching power. Build up for next fight is the key.
Your range is your biggest strength by a mile, if i was styling you as a fighting it would defiantly be kick heavy but of course it is also down to the fighter. So of course it's up to you, but damn you need to abuse that range! Clearly the knees you got in the clinches were forceful so it shows your legs are powerful already as that guy was big.
Would need to see a second fight though to see what you can give but would love to see you utilize that size/reach you have.

Also looked like such a miss match in weight...looked like you were fighting a heavyweight :s

Congrats on the fight!

Now to talk about your striking for a bit! It seems like the biggest gains you'll find in your striking, both in landing techniques successfully and landing them with power, will come from improved footwork. Your feet were sort of all over the place in that fight and it seemed to leave you off balance frequently when you wanted to throw something. There are some freaks out there who are able to generate tremendous power from only their arms, but for most of us mere mortals, it has to come from the hips and that usually requires your feet to be in a stable position. Obviously it's critical for throwing crisp kicks as well.

Really weird how you use boxing gloves for matches. We use those for training as well, but you can't really do anything on the ground with it. The force is the same as mma gloves anyways, its just easier to hit with and a bit easier to bruise. Meanwhile it becomes an easily stalemate on the ground, because you on the bottom can't really do anything when covered with enormous gloves (which looked like was the case towards the end of both rounds in your fight).

Looked good though, even if you got your ass (and nuts) kicked

I am not sure how useful low kick are in a MMA setting, I am coming from Kickboxing but generally speaking I think that low kicks can be extremely useful when executed correctly.

also when you try to block low kicks with your shins always make sure that you turn your knee outwards and dont stiffen up your leg too much. in the video of the fight you were pointing your knee straight ahead which can lead to some painful hit on your muscles in your lower leg area

even with the leg protection you guys were using with some training you can make someone unable to walk with 4-5 well placed low kicks

I agree completely, and I noticed it a lot too when watching.

It was an interesting feeling how once I got in there, so many things that weren't deeply enough ingrained yet (like recently I'd been working on not stranding my back leg when jabbing sijce it leaves me with no follow up) just disappears.

Not that bad really, there were a lot of submissions on the card I think... maybe like 25 to 30%?

They changed the rules to allow first timers to use mma gloves if both agreed but dont think anyone did as it was a last minute change (my crazy team mate opted for yes despite not having trained in mma gloves and having a muay thai background lol).

I think one reason is that mma gloves are small enough to more easily cause cuts and such to your face.

Lowkicks are awesome and I didnt throw as many as I was supposed to. I dont know if you noticed but it was another victim of footwork where I ended up with my rear leg too far back and no power. My opponents low kick were nice tho.

Thx for the checking tip, I was aware of the pointing knee thing but didnt have the presence of mind to execute it ij the moment.

I think most of my lack of power comes from my bad footwork and being a bit too tense. Muscle doesnt add that much to your punching power, but I still want to add some for grappling primarily.

And trust me, he's nowhere near a heavy weight, thank god haha

The tall guy in my corner is 110 kg and I've sparred a bunch with him... his jab feels like this guys power punches almost (and this guy hit reasonably hard too).

Yeah I saw I dropped my right hand even when jabbing once or twice. I didnt know that was a habit I had actually.

The hips thing was just me being too tired, I felt like I haf nothing in my arms at all.

I don't know if it was the gloves or not, but your clinches need to be way closer, can't have the guy wiggling around while you have him on that easy clinch. Really nice job though!
Grappling becomes easier once you switch out from the boxing gloves to the 6oz mma gloves with open fingers.
