Too much pepper?

Hilarious jimmy rustling in this thread.

Some very insecure grapplers were exposed and besmirched.

This show is so good. They need to release the Rising episodes faster.

That was badass. Best quote:

"His glove just became bigger all of a sudden"

Which is exactly how I feel when I spar with people a lot better than me.

So I'm at the gym the other night flickin' my jab away at the heavy bag (pop, pop, pop). Lightning fast... pop, pop, POP! I'm getting into a groove so I start doin my Ali shuffle as I'm dusting the heavy bag with this jab. I get alittle freaked out that the S-hook this bag is dangling from is going to snap.

As you can imagine all of these grapplers in the gym are getting pissed and intimidated... I'm talking wrestlers, bjjers, and an assortment of others (sambo?? probably).

One guy (probably a wrestler) says "go easy on that bag".
I look at him and just say "Why don't you make me... all of you".
As you can imagine they all are dumbfounded and a bit terrified.

So I'm all spent with handing out these "hi ya's" and "how ya doin's". I point to where the grappling mats and boxing rings are and say "let's just settle this like men"...
as I'm walking to a grappling mat one of the bjjers says "but the boxing ring is over there" (pointing to a boxing ring) and I just say, "I know. We're settling this in your world".

You could have heard a pin drop. It's like that scene from A Bronx Tale where the italian locks the door of the bar trapping the bikers inside with all of the mafia guys.

Just like this:

I'm standing in the center of the mat and start lacing up my 24oz gloves. One of these grapplers says "but with gloves on how are you going to get back up? you won't be able to grab??"....
I don't even look up, still focusing on my gloves.... I just say,
"You just worry about getting me down."

a general unease spreads among the grapplers. That and complete terror.


Let's just cut to the good part.

I have a bjjer, freestyle wrestler, and some judo clown slowly advancing towards me (and I mean slllllloooooooooooowwwwwlllllllllllyyyyyyyyyy.... the kind of slow advancing you'd do on a gorilla that's more than likely going to rip you apart)....the sambo guy must have had a moment of clarity. Last I saw he was hightailing it towards the door yelling something inaudible. I think it was something about how he was experiencing great terror and dread.

I start bouncing around, real light on my feet. Switching south paw/orthodox.... back and forth.... paw'ing at the air with my jab.

Wrestler is the first guy to taste his.... I start laying on really thick with the pepper. I'm just peppering this guy with the jab. pop, pop, pop. He just can't get his bearings about him. Any time he tries to shoot... pop pop pop....
he gives up and mutters some defeated comment like, "I never had to deal with a jab before in wrestling." I sagely respond, "I knew that all along". Peppered to death, as I say.

Bjj guy is a bit more hesitant.... but it plays out all the same.
After a very quick dusting with the jab he just drops to his back.
Remember when Royler fought Sakuraba. Royler drops to his back and the camera just shows this look of terror and dread and confusion on his face? And complete bewilderment and shock and terror? Exactly like that.... but like 10 times more terror and dread and confusion. And complete bewilderment and shock and terror.

I turn around to face the judo guy but he's nowhere to be seen.
The only sign that he was there is this empty judo gi laying lifeless on the floor.
I'm telling you, right out of the movie "Night of the Comet" where all of those people were just vaporized and only their clothes were left behind.

yeah, just like that.

For a moment I was real confused.... With all of the jabs I was dustin these guys with might I have gone overboard on the judo guy and completely vaporized him???

Then I was brought back to my senses when a custodian yells out, "He just sprinted for the door yelling something about being done with judo and how he was flooded with complete terror and dread"....

I look down at my fist nestled nicely in the 24oz Everlast and said, "oh look... you did it again."

Anyway. Thought I'd share this.

To be fair, next time you should wear hulk fists and bubble wrap the grappler's faces. Otherwise, you may unintentionally end grappling sports as we know it.

I actually found that funny. Just a good bit of banter IMO.

 

[zzung]

too much Peppa?

 

[snowman22]

Ahahahahaha that was awesome!

 

[snowman22]

i'd give it 13/18. Started off pretty amusing, but ran out of good descriptions of terror. I would've preferred a more lovecraftian tale of horror.

"and he looked upon my jab, and an unearthly terror took hold of him; my jabs took on impossible geometries, appearing convex at a distance but concave up close. Their speed was strange; shadows lapsed and sounds occurred a half second after they should have. There are no words to describe the fear that comes from having such a nighmarish encounter, but only know that he now has a fear so great that all of his dishes will taste bland and un-peppered for the remainder of his haunted days."

ahahahaha

 

[trainharder]

That's one of the funniest things I have read on Sherdog.

 

[killer_kicks88]

Pepper these fools with more jabs, Paul

 

[sosy1325]

You're missing the point. Royce never got touched with teh jab. Art Jimmerson could have stopped him easily, but he wore a boxing glove only on his right hand, and he was an orthodox fighter, so he couldn't do it. Huge tactical error on his part, the whole history of MMA could have been easily changed if only he'd worn both gloves.

Sure he could have...

Listen to this man, people.

I'm close to wanting to take him under my belt. Only problem being I typically don't let anything get that close to my Arizona Jeans.

Uchi Mata hits on all points. But there's one area he neglected. The glove Jimmerson DID where. He wore this puny little glove (and only one of them).
It goes without saying but: the bigger the better.
What's more intimidating? Some dinky little 18oz glove? Or some 24oz (and up) battering ram?

If you can't see them from 2 city blocks out.... they're too small.

 

[MC Paul Barman]

I know you're trolling but why would a grappler be afraid of a pure striker? The early style-vs-style MMA showed that in such fights the grappler wins 9 times out of 10. Your only chance is to knock him out before he clinches or shoots, which you're especially unlikely to do with a jab.

Why would a grappler be afraid of getting crop dusted with a jab?
you serious?

That's like asking why Ed-209 is afraid of descending a 'simple' flight of stairs.

There's your answer.

Not only does this kid pack the heat in 4 oz gloves that are visible from space, he doesn't waste his time with the jab. Look at him landing a crushing hook to the solar plexus, relieving blondie of all motor function.

While you're busy trying to throw down the pipe, this kid's just slugging away at your body with two jack hammers.

All the pepper in the world ain't gonna save you, cause this kid is goddamn killing machine that's salting the earth.

Genius. I never realized it but if Robocop had touched Ed-209 with teh jab, then the movie would have been over and it would have saved a lot of time. Look at Ed's arms. He can't even get them in front of his face to block, cover up or parry teh jab.

I don't even see any pecs on Ed-209. Sure he can't even bench teh 275. Robocop can tho. dat chest.

how has this not been wastelanded?

I have a voice like a song bird, a laugh that can warm the blood and instill camaraderie amongst men, a gaze that can make an enraged throng find true and lasting peace....

Wasteland this garbage. Ban user before doing so though.

Stop posting homie, you know shit about striking. Obvious fucking liver shot. Bas would be proud.

comments like this shows the power of the trolling.

You are still trying to counter his troll. And that was NEVER proven in the early UFCs. Where is Roy Jones vs Royce Gracie?

Brilliant thread. Lots of butthurt.
