i just would like to see some upstart promotion in japan or some place that would do it. It makes for different strategies, like needing to finish the prelim fights fast to conserve juice.
can you imagine bj "tiny Buddha belly" penn actually needing to train for a fight?

you'd probably see about 1/10th the number of takedown attempts. would make a lot of the fights really boring if you got two guys who wanted to stand there & throw huge swings, but in the land of the blind...

there are tons of fighters who can submit a guy quickly. look at mike swick.
inconspicuous
yes, but would they be willing to risk draining their energy on the ground if they didn't get something done quickly?
[swick would, but he's an exception]
lenazi
yeah, i'm just bitching because i would pay to see the tourney. as is i only rent 1 out of every 2 or 3 ufcs because the cards bore me and i end up missing some great undercrad fights that i want to see, because they don't show them Pisses me off.
this card bores me.
swick is the only person i have ever seen land a flying guillotine. awesomeness.

taught my ex some BJJ. one day, i said something she didn't like. she was short... came running at me. i was like WTF is she gonna do? she jumped off from a chair, and onto me, and flying guillotined me. i didn't she'd get it... then i had to tap :s
Renzo Gracie landed one on Miletich once i believe. not EXACTLY flying, but he landed it from standing position, closed guard, and finished it hanging off of Pat, without going to the ground.

Flying armbar > Flying guillotine, but both are soooooo sick

there's only one MMA gym in my country. i knew it had opened up, but didn't know where it was, and only the few people who had trained BJJ before did.
this is the video i found on youtube, which ultimately led me to the poster of it, who invited me to my first class:
damnit, when youtube went widescreen, this video got all choppy :whip:

technically that's a flying scissor INTO a heelhook, but i'll let that pass.

Doesn't Dream put one on a lot in Japan? I have been seeing the middleweight one a lot on HDNet fights!
Inertia
yah, Dream does it.
but the more i watch japanese promotions, the more i have to think about the rules...
