Sebastian Roeder First Amateur MMA Fight

I weighed in at 150 lbs, I am in the red headgear.
I relied too much on grappling and came out of the fight realizing i need to work on my striking. My opponent was pretty strong and really gave me a challenge.
Enjoy =)

how long were u in mma before the fight

[deadafter2]

about 6-7 months

[matt1214]

how long did u train until this fight

[deadafter2]

i took the fight on a day notice and didnt really train hardcore a few months previous thats why i look exhausted as hell throughout the fight

[wrestlerspride]

try sweep singles...... double leg is overated.....when you double leg u run a risk of getting hit by the guys powerhand usually (his right) you also run a risk of getting guiltoned. look at the guys stand....left foot forward.... if you do a sweep single with your right arm you can get the leg very easily......and it is hard for him to hit you and almost impossible for a guilotine

[deadafter2]

ya i have noticed tht double legs make it easier for guys to pull guard and get the guillotine..ill look into the sweep singles for sure.. thanks

Well, as you alrdy said, you're striking does suck indeed. So it was a good coice to go to the ground? you didnt relie to much on ground game, ur good at it, so then take advantage of it. Very nice first fight :)

@tktaz51 if your in a boxing/mma/bjj gym, typically they can find you fights

[tktaz51]

Oh yeah does anybody know how to find a fight contractor or w/e? I want to start amateur fighting but have no idea who to call or where to find out info

[tktaz51]

why were you "relying too much" on your ground game? I personally think stick to what your good at, like anderson silva his game is standing he always tries to stand up instead of going to the ground

[pyro0049]

3:46 .... WTF. you were passing his guard and they stood you up? this ref doesnt know when and when not too stand it up... lawl fail by ref...

[snaggypaggy]
