Day of The Fight - Page 2

yeah entertaining fight! nice take down

man, he had such an advantage in the clinch from being so tall

Congrats on having an amazing experience

Video now working ?
Would like to see

Also id be intersted in what time after the fight u did make that description of how the fight went ?
As it is pretty detailed and comparing it to my experience it is that after my fights i mostly remember nothing at all and have to watch the video 2-3 times^^
Also the detailed reaction of the crowd that you heared surprises me a bit. Its pretty interesting
In my very first MMA fight in Poland i did hear the crowd as detailed as u described. I heard them going lowd when i was hit , after takedowns and when i did hit their guy.
In my later fights i cant remember hearing much of the audience at all.

In case you are generally interested in how this works.
I for myself have always hated hand wrapping. I have always insisted on doing the least amount necessary which is mainly for stabilizing my wrists.
If possible i like to really feel my hands and have my fingers free.
On the other hand though it isnt that much of of a problem when u have a good wrapping since MMA grappling and BJJ are pretty different.
While in BJJ its very important to have good grips with your fingers or work in many subtle ways to get small advantages in MMA the option of punches makes a lot of moves that would never work in BJJ a solid option for MMA.


As for eating.

After weight in i like a big big meal of nudles and tons of water
fight day itself eat almost nothing for the whole day and i also dont drink much water.
As strange as it may sound I love the feeling of actually being really hungry and feeling like a badly treated wolf(a bit terrible) who now fights back right before a fight

May be different for other fighters

I wrote the summary on the drive home the next day, saw the fight maybe twice in the hotel room the night before. As for the wrapping I wanted nearly as much as possible while still being able to hold grips, my left-hand/wrist was pretty messed up so I didn't want it bending much if possible.

I missed this apparently just wanted to say you are awesome!
