what's your name? Those fights are relatively major.

I'd take Akridrot and his pansy bitch-slapping style with my tiger claw of death and shove it in his chest until I can squeeze his heart and make it pop like a frog.

Ok, gotta go. Time for my anger management class.

Originally posted by Inertia he looks on the overly heavy side. i mean, hell at 6'1" and 330lbs, it's no wonder he gasses out. as has been proven again and again, MMA is not just about being big and heavy, and if he can't endure and go the distance, his weight will become a disadvantage, weighing down on him, making it harder to keep going. and fuck, slacking when you're gonna fight Aleksander?! that's a huge shot for a relatively unknown fighter. edit: what's his style? more of a striker or grappler?

I know, Aleksander is one of the top dogs in the heavyweight category. I'd even venture to say that he is second to Fedor.

Dan is more of a brawler than anything. I really don't know how Aleks got that guillotine on him, the guy does not have a neck.

hrm. i wouldn't say second to Fedor... i mean, CroCop did own him. CroCop ain't what he used to be though.

still, i'd bet on Randy over Aleks. Aleks is great and all, but Randy has proven to still be at the top. sucks about the whole issue with the UFC and signing Fedor, i really wanted to see a Randy vs. Fedor fight.

Originally posted by Andryuha I pretty much train 4-5 days a week, about 2 hours each day. It used to be boxing on monday, BJJ on tuesday, Pads class on wednesday, cage fighting (sparring, GnP, how to use the cage, etc)on thursday, open gym on friday ( i usually use that day for bag work and sparring), and wrestling and BJJ on saturday. Recently I started sparring with fighters on mondays and thursdays. We also do conditioning about twice a week. I think our camp may be the best in the area, because we actually have 2 fighters that fight in UFC and one that used to fight in Pride: http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/...?FighterID=4411 http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/...?FighterID=9785 http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/...p?FighterID=174

You seem to be with a proper camp.

4-5 days a week, 2 hours each day sounds like a relatively serious effort, no?

I have personally been in to martial arts since I was a kid and have been an avid K-1 fan since day one. Although in the last 3-4 years I have really been bit by the MMA bug and now that I finnished Uni and have come back home i'm looking in to the possibility of starting to train. I did some basic Muay Thai, BJJ, and Wrestling training my last semester at Uni and really got a kick out of it.
I would naturally aim towards going a few fights but the opportunities as far as MMA fighting are somewhat limited here in Sweden. The MMA climate is so much better in the states where you guys have the endless assortment of small promotions everywhere. Furthermore, we have extremely ignorant politicians in this country that try to legislate against professional martial arts fights.
Lastly, the actual physical training aspect of MMA is so superior and top class MMA athletes are truly the most fit human beings on the face of this earth, which also is very appealing and when you fight you really learn a lot about yourself, which I also like.

Originally posted by ghille I train out of team ROc in NC now, I've taken some bad fights against guys I had no buisness fighting, like Melvin guilliard rory singer and marcus davis. but It's great fun for me and kind of addicting.

Those are top guys, in what promotion did you fight them and when?

Are you someone we would know?


Too bad Melvin got the best of you, he's a talented guy with a lousy fucking attitude IMO.

Singer and Davis are class acts though.

Yea, I'm pretty serious about training. Initially, I figured that I would go there for a month just for the heck of it, but this stuff is addicting. I definitely agree with you about the level of athleticism. Training is killer and during the summer, I was always drenched with sweat. It also makes me feel so much better about myself.

Word man, that's what it's all about in the end. I wish the best of luck and maybe someday in the future we can fight

Although, I probably would have to compete at 155 or so.

I walk around at 180-185, so I'll probably have to drop down below 175.It sucks that I would have to do that, because my frame looks like it's good for over 200 easily. (don't think you're talking in kilograms here)
