My Amateur MMA Debut

[Miguel Guerrero]

Here's a video of my first Amateur MMA fight which happened today. I just wanted to share it with you guys, it was pretty special for me. What do you guys think?

Very nice. It's great to see fighters hunting for the submission rather than being happy to just ground 'n' pound. That duck under to double leg takedown was sweet though. You really got cheated when that referee stood you up from side control top - I hate how much modern MMA rules favor the striker, and standing up from dominant positions is the worst example of this. Good fight!

Congratulations!!

the ref though....he wants you to bang, bro.

Thanks!

I agree with you, I was pretty confused when the ref stood us up (I was just beginning to isolate his arm with my leg) but my case wasn't the worst, in one fight the ref stood both guys up when one had the other MOUNTED (everybody was like WTF).

ref must be a judo/karate ref?


or probably just a bouncer.

Pretty sweet. I prefer to end it the same way.

I started BJJ around 2009, started to get more serious last years May when I started training more often and started training MMA. I mostly do grappling, my striking needs A LOT of work.
