I did it. No training no team nothing. I just went out there and gave it a shot. 189 lbs novice. I won my first 2 fights by points. The first one i thought i almost one with a choke i had on in the mount but to be honest i really dont know any submissions just from what i've read and seen on tv. So for the third match the guy was really skilled and I gassed. I was stronger then him and none of them could take me down but I got in his guard and just had nothing left. He beat me by arm bar. Then I went to the bathroom and started throwing up and someone came in and said my match for 3rd place was next I was already blown up so I really had nothing left. I didn't get taken down again and actually took the guy down somehow. Then I somehow got a mount and i was just way too tired to pull anything off and he rolled me and locked on a americana.
I was pretty happy with the result though just to go out there with no training or anything no team or coach like all these other guys had and get 4th place out of 12. These guys were all really good and not to take anything away from any of them but I do feel like with more cardio and some training I could have done much better.
ttt i'm surprised i haven't been flamed for lay n pray.
Anyone else compete or just go to this event?
