I don't know if you did that it on purpose, or not.

If you didn't, bygones.

If you did, it was hilarious.

After I said something about not being able to embed a video, your post read

Im watching Saku v Shamrock lol;

You know, like you were trying to post something but you fucked up the smilie part.

Then it read:

Seeing someone get choked out or have his arm/leg broken is pretty cool (no disrespect to the victim) but nothing beats a brutal KO. It's the most entertaining form of violence in MMA and boxing.

I call them matches myself.

Also as I compete in BJJ and Sub wrestling I call myself a BJJ player rather than fighter. I have always been told that you play BJJ similar to chess.

Depends on the situation, but at ADCC facing Paul Harris, that is definantly a fight.

I think thats a fair statement....in a sports situation thats how it works..now if you use BJJ in a fight, which of course can be done..than it is a fight.


a boxing match...even though it has many rules that restrict it from being a true mirror of a street fight shares one thing...in boxing..you are really trying to hurt your opponent. I know that isnt technically true of amateur boxing...but for all intents and purposes..you are still punching men hard in the head and a knock out is a victory. In BJJ for the most part you might inflict pain and do damage.but the objective is to put a man in a place were he will have to quit.

It entirely depends on your style of grappling. I know guys who wrestle with the sole intention of inflicting pain. My main goal for months was to just tap guys from holding a position. If you'd ever been held in a hard knee ride or elbow ride you'd know that you were in a fight.
