My First MMA Fight

August 5, 2006

Background: This was my first MMA Fight that took place in Portland, OR. It is a novice fight so it is not quite as “clean” as a pro MMA fight. My opponent may have been about 5lbs lighter than me but had 2 amateur level cage fights. This guy was no slouch…

Hind sight is 20/20: My main concern in this fight was getting taken down as I was informed my opponent was primarily a submission wrestler. It turns out that he has mostly a kickboxing background, had I known this I was definitely have been less gun shy on my feet. I was in decent shape for this fight, but I still gassed a bit towards the end. Hands up, hands up, hands up…

This was a close fight, and it doesn’t really matter to me who may have won. I’m just glad that I was able to put on an entertaining fight for my teammates and friends that came to watch. I’m happy with my performance this being my first fight and I was able to overcome that initial hurdle. I learned a lot from this fight after watching this video again and I’m already looking forward to my next fight…

Enjoy!

    Yeah you have to …
    Yeah you have to pop those hips for that arm bar. But even without that… Late in the second round there if it wouldn’t have been stopped to go back to the center I think you would have had a knock out. Or at least a TKO. If you were the guy in the shirt that is.
