I take it you can only do large joint locks? i.e arm bar, leg lock etc? No small wrist locks?
63kg, blimey that's light. Lol, can't remember when i last weighed 63kg?
No matter how fit you are groundwork is always gonna be ballbaggingly exhausting, so knuckle him first and knock the wind out his sails.
Good luck mate

Good luck, would have loved to have got into this myself as i have a good judo background. Couldnt keep up the payments on kickboxing lessons though

Yeah no small joint manipulation, I think I can get down to 60kg for my next fight! I am only 5ft5 though.

Groundwork and clinch work are ridiculously exhausting, but him being a Boxer will find it a lot tougher as he won't be used to it.

Not long now less than a week.

Lol, im 5ft 8in and weigh in at 83kg. Mostly from gym work, since i gave up combat arts etc
There is a slight possibility that you have far less bodyfat than me though.

Looking forward to the video!

Good luck!

I just got back, I won in 1:36 seconds by guillotine. He landed one punch on me and he cut my nose up good with just that one.

I have 2 photos Ill scan an put up tomorrow, the video will follow as soon as I have it.

Woooooo buzzing.

Nice one, well done!

Congratz mate!

My guess is that he shot in leaving his head out for the guillotine.

Eagerly awaiting the video.

I shot in took him down, ground and pounded from side control then took mount and did more of the same. Went back to side control and baited him to get up then guillotined.

He weighed in at 69kg instead of 64kg, also the rules got changed and elbows and knees were allowed standing, and ground an pound was allowed. That was good for me though so wasn't bothered.

So buzzing.

Congrats! Awesome result, looking forward to the video.

Congratulations - he sure does not look too happy in the 2nd shot!

The IPB · 30 Nov 2009 at 08:56

I don't think he was very happy at all he only landed 1 punch, did cut my nose with it though and I can feel it today.

I really can't wait to see the DVD, I can't really remember exactly how it all went down to much adrenaline.

Youre tiny!

Congrats, but thats not good on the organisers part for changing the rules last minute, advantage or no advantage.
