This is so true, couldn't've said it better! rep'd

I have a question for Sumnews,

What the hell were you trying to do when you fucked up your friend? Were you sparing or were you trying to fuck eachother up? I find it hard to believe you were sparing and did that much damage to someone... Maybe you don't know sparring is, which would be another example of why you should actually train with people who know what they are doing. You know it is called sparring and not fighting because you are going like 50%?

Btw I only mentioned that I went to school around Cincinnati, because that's the main city that I live near that many people outside of Ohio know of. If I was boasting I'd title this thread like, "I put this guy in surgery while sparring", instead of a real concern of mine which is the fact that legal issues can come into play when sparring or working on mma. My background is wrestling, I believe I mentioned that? So I'm not claiming that I'm some natural athlete, just that I'm not some street thug, which people still don't seem to comprehend. And I do visit this site, but since the change of the "pics and videos" section has been disclosed to members with a higher reputation (don't recall off the top of my head) I've avoided the site. But I have been through and even posted in the instructional section of these forums that contain videos and do watch them. Which is why it's possible and I'm quite capable of learning things without the use of a trainer. Like I said, I spar and train with my brother and people I know, we practice and go through drills.

My brother has been taught bjj and some other form of martial arts i think. So I'm confident in what I'm doing, and from what I've seen at these small time mma organizations, there's nothing intimidating about them, except for the title holder who is probably the most well rounded and best athlete in that division in that particular organization. But I think if I keep up what I'm doing then go into a small time organization, by the time I get a few fights in people will see my potential and offer a spot to train with them, no saying for free either, but at least something worth my efforts for.

Sorry blackfox, I don't watch football or any other professional sports besides MMA. I'm actually from Notheast Ohio, and good for you on ur gym there. You should work on speaking for yourself a little more, I don't recommend claiming that you'd dominate me in anything seeing as you don't know me. And apparently you're not a natural athlete and contain no form of natural talent as well, stop being so defensive and snapping on me; didn't mean to hurt your feelings if I did .

Btw, this whole thread has gone off topic, it's about the issue of being sued. Not the fight, which was an example and a reason for me to bring it up at all. And Palma, it was "a step up from sparring" but no elbows, knees, or kicks to the face, I said that in the beginning I believe.

Ok, I give up.

Yes you should find a gym.
Yes you can be sued.
Yes you should find a lawyer if that happens.
Yes I'm done now.

I think you are slightly delusional, and a touch arrogant for someone who can only credit 'some wrestling' as their background experience. But whatever. I think you will find reality to be a harsh mistress.



And if I'm wrong, then more power to you. I'm sure Bas Rutten will be calling any day.



And don't claim that you're an active member because you posted one tme in the Grappling forum while you were lurking for videos.

Dammit Palma I just sat down to make the same point. Either you are trying to train or you're trying to hurt a guy, they are mutually exclusive goals.

There is a reason that you don't see pros training at full speed with mma gloves, and your friends broken nose is the prime example of it.

If you don't have the money for training who is going to pay the doctors bills when your friend is the one that lands the punch and you need nose surgery?

Edit: Also in those other sports you played, did you have a coach or did you learn them all on your own?

We can't keep asking him logical questions to which he has no response. By most accounts he is at least halfway in his own private TUF fantasy world.


No matter what anyone says, on here for anywhere else, he is going to continue his routine until something serious happens or reality catches up with him and he gets some real training.

Lol, This has to be the quote of the day... Dude, please promise me you post a vid of you fighting in a small time org. I promise to rep you so you can.

BTW, are you the guy who went to AKA to fight Koscheck?

I think you are confused on what sparring is, because a step up is an actual fight.

lol no I'm not that guy. But I was coached in every sport except soccer. But yes I will try to train so I can legitimately fight. Or at least with the suggestion of someone, talk to the coach/trainer and tell them my situation and see where that takes me. I'll be sure to post a vid of my first small organizational fight in mma. I hope to join at least by February and start my career there. I only called it an "amateur fight" because that's was the first label I came to mind, it was full go sparring, but with "no kicks, knees, or elbows to the head". I personally don't like regular sparring, when everything is 50%, I don't land many at all when I go half speed, but that's just me personally. I've had problems before when I sparred with people just boxing or kick boxing, so I bought some focus mitts online and called it a day. The reason why I didn't answer your "logical question" nub is because I was too busy answering and commenting on everyone else, as you can see my responses consists of mainly paragraphs. You all have completely changed my perspective on the way I had my "first" fight and will handle my next . But honestly, thanks.
