First MMA fight.

[Giovanni]

So I finally got my first true MMA fight.

It was with the amateur UMF league. I lost in my last round by guillotine choke... no shame in losing most people wouldn't even climb into the ring anyways... plus I got some good defences and some good blows on the guy.

I wish I hadn't lost but that's the way you learn I suppose.

Here's my face right now. The fight was yesterday it's gone down some but he really unloaded on me in the first round after I gave him a nasty kick to his ribs I saw him whince and then charge on me then rammed me in the corner then started swinging. He was stronger then me so I got fucked up a bit.

Badass dude. :cool:

What type of fighting background do you have?

[Giovanni]

I have a year of boxing and I'm doing BJJ right now. My instructor also has a background in muay thai and he's teaching me a couple of tricks. I had some kung fu in the past but it's totally useless and I have about a year and a half of kickboxing.

Can't say my ego wasn't hurt but it was fun and there was quite a crowd.

Congrats on fighting in general... And damn you have changed since I last saw a pic of you (a while back). It isn't easy to step into that ring.

What weight class do you fight in?

[Giovanni]

I fight at 155, that would be lightweight. Yeah I've changed a hell of alot and that's a good thing. eh

I might be able to get the video soon. No idea how to host it thought...

[Baneblade]

I could host it for you.

[Giovanni]

I figured I could always youtube it eh. I'll call up my trainer to get a copy of the DVD and show you our other guys too.

You get tickets for UFC in Montreal?

[Giovanni]

I was invited but I work that day. So no go. Was at one of the private tables too *sigh*.

For some reason I pictured an octagon, and not just a regular ring... Nonetheless, seems like a good fight.

[Giovanni]

Yeah the popularization of the octagon by the UFC and other organizations have made it weird for people to look at a regular ring eh.

How the hell are you suppose to grapple and pull off submissions with boxing gloves?

[Giovanni]

It's actually 16 oz. gloves with finger holes.
