Why Did CM Punks Bottom Guard Look So Bad?

[WaylonMercy5150]

He has shown a competency to throw strikes and to submit people in the past. Here is a tutorial he did on an "easy" way out of guard.

Did the magnitude of the fight get to him? Or did he Con the UFC?

A fight and a tutorial are two different things. It’s one thing to slow it down and do things step by step, and it’s another in the heat of the moment while a trained killer is on top of you trying to smash your head in.

Cause he isn't a fighter, genius.

Then why would he post MMA tutorials?

There are fantastic coaches in boxing and MMA that never had fight careers.

Showing you know something as an instructional demonstration speaks nothing to your capability of performing it in the moment.

CM Punk's everything looked bad. Not just the guard.

D-level athleticism, poor fight IQ, barely trained etc

He was about two weeks in the start of his mma training when he made that tutorial. Maybe jumping the gun a bit?

For the same reason Jon Jones would say he wants to be looked up to. To look better than he actually is.

I thought the same thing. If you have trained a lot, you can use the stuff in real fight. He sat flat on his back and tried to punch Jackson for over a minute. That’s just stupid! His coaches were yelling for him to stop punching and start doing something with his hips, but he did nothing. Just plain shit dead fish on his back. Many year of BJJ my ass.

Not saying this was a good tutorial. More just stating that it's not hard to believe CM Punk looked better in a demo video than he did in a real fight.

Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.

I think in Jones' case he could still be a role mode someday, unfortunately, for CM he will never be a fighter.

Bet you a lot of people low key unsubscribed to his MMA tutorial channel.

Why didn't the thread end here ↑↑↑

 

[Philtard]

Because he's fucking shit?

 

[moogie101]

"He has shown a competency to throw strikes and to submit people in the past" WTF? When?

A few tutorials or BS sparring sessions designed to make him look half decent to try & fool the fans do not make him competent. To be fair to him there were some improvements in his last fight BUT he's been training at one of the better camps for over three years & still looks shit.

 

[podsox]

He isn’t good and he was gassed as fuck after the first rd

 

[blacknblue104]

He took some heavy shots and was tired...submitting people in pure BJJ and doing it deep into an MMA fight where you've been rocked and are tired is totally different.

I just find it odd that he was putting out tutorial videos when he was obviously a novice.
