I think you overestimate the quality of this boards posters';

'>>184697
The better question is why do it at all. Flash & no substance. This means nothing. Just as fucking dumb as acrobatic board breaking. Oh gee, could we beat a balding dyel manlet? Dude, stop letting curated content blow smoke up your ass.';

'>>184711
he's in such an extreme percentile even the average faggots around here are going to be stronger';

'>>184697
I don't think so. He may not be tall but he's athletic and knows how to fight';

'>>184697
Height and weight does matter. That said, he has a lot more training and experience than most. Assuming same weight and height, then I'm betting on Icy Mike. Practice matters.';

'>>184697
The average poster on this board only trains lethwei, judo, and has an extensive knowledge of groin shots and eye pokes so no.';

hmm gee, hard choice. Especially considering that alot of /xs/ are formula1fags, skaterboys, climbers, bikers, and rikishifuckers that dont traint at all.

You would be surprised at how strong middle aged fucks can be. My Judo sensei is in his fifties, maximum 150 lbs, and he still goes toe to toe with 180 lbs university student higher belts; this is a big city with a big university as well, so its not a niche judo club.
middle age really only becomes a limiting factor at the pro level, and age really only starts fucking you over past 65 if you take care of your body. There is almost nobody here who is a pro martial artist or fighter';

'>>185511
has icy mike ever shown any skill beyond that of a low level hobbyist
he didn't exactly dominate the random faggots in street beefs';

'>>185513
i didnt know he did street beefs. But i just saw 3 of his fight and he was a much better striker than every single fighter there. His MMA grappling is lacking considering that he cant sweep randoms in his guard.
Theres also a misconception that technical domination means like a one round knockout. Nah brah. Technical domination in any martoal art is defensive and positional domination, tiring your opponent out minute by minute, and minimizing damage, and finding the perfect opportunity for a knockout. Like floyd mayweather vs connor mcgreggor, or like what gordon ryan does against everyone. Thats precisely what he did in every striking exchange i saw in street beefs.';

'>>184697
The average? No. Maybe the best ones. He's very experienced, still fit and has high fighting IQ, it doesn't matter if you are bigger or stronger than him, he has a way to make your life harder, and the average poster here doesn't have the stamina or the IQ to fight someone, they would lose 9 out of 10 times.';

'>>185605
Why do people still buy this myth that muh technique wins fights
He's the size of a middle school child, he got mogged by every single person in that self defense challenge thing every time

Didn't he try to do a flying side kick and just bounced off?';

he got shoved over and was getting the fuck beaten out of him and only got saved because the round ended + street beefs uses amateur rules so no elbows
then spent the whole second round literally running away and whiffing at the air
then wins by illegal dick kick

is that supposed to be his best showing?';

You're kidding right? That was fucking embarrassing human backpack bullshit that did absolutely nothing & by the end of it he was red in the face, gassed to the point it looked like he was gonna pass out. Stop coping for this middle age manlet martial arts wannabe. You just know he was the little bitch on the beat that could NEVER handle a perp by himself & all his self defense advice is dumb as fuck
>hurr duurr pocket flashlight!
Are you fucking serious, simping for this guy?';

'>>185666
not really, the fat guy obeyed the rules and manlet mike cheated, not only with the dick kick but also the back of the head strikes

I have no idea what fight they were watching, that first round was 10/8 fatass, second was 10/9 fatass, 3rd round was arguably a 9/9 because the illegal strikes which weren't called';

'>>185668
>embarrassing human backpack bullshit that did absolutely nothing
Ask me how I know you don’t fight lol. Let me get on your back punch you while you’re completely defenseless and then tell me it does nothing.
>criticizing the pocket flashlight
There’s a lot of shit I make fun of midget Mike for but that’s unironically a good choice. A good pocket sized flash light will be made of steel, has edges by the bulb that will cut the opponent if you use as a kubaton, and has the added effect of blinding your opponent at night making it much easier to hit them and harder for them to hit you.';

were we watching the same thing? First of all, rounds are the last thing thats realistic for an IRL fight, so a good indicator in how well a "real fighr" would have gone is to see where the round ends and extrapolate how it would continue if there are no round timers.

Round 1 was the only round the fatass won. but considering that he couldnt submit a dude 80 lbs lighter than him its fair to assume that he wouldve gassed out and mike wouldve escaped from bottom half guard if there is no rounds and its a real fight.

In round 2 he got pieced up in the striking exchange. Again, if there was no rounds the fatass wouldve lost.

in round 3 the leg kicks start to really take irs effect, then he got hit with a nutshot, which they gave him minutes to recover and he chose to continue. He then gets pieced up again in the striking exchange and gets his back taken. Again, no round timers, the fatass wouldve been killed.
>>185668
>human backpack
>gassed
Tell me how i know youve never trained grappling in your life if you think that bottom back mount is less tiring than top back mount, especially when bottom dude is turtling

I dont even watch or like mike because self defense content is gay. Most civilians just need to get a small handgun and train to cover 99% of their base';

'>>185792
There was absolutely no indication he was going to escape that position
The longer he cooks down there the worse it gets for him
Any other suggestion is just cope';

'>>185793
and that come, I presume, from your expert grappling assessment and experience,
remind me again what the fatass's options are. What are some good, stable, high percentage submission holds from top half guard again?

Best thing is that even if youre right its only true for 1 round out of 3. Fatso lost the other two rounds';

'>>184697
I've been fighting since I was a kid competitively so I think I can beat him no problem at all
also I am 1,85m with 85kgs

I can't see myself losing to him, he is only a random instructor that happen to have a yt channel, I am a competitive fighter with 10+ years of experience';

But mostly submissions from the mount are retarded
Just crush the air out of them and drop bombs in their face until they turn over

Wish people would apply simple logic before taking dumb shit as fact. Almost all new cars come with xenon headlights that are that bright. If they could blind you the shit wouldn't be road legal. I get shit that bright shined right in my fucking eyes several thousand times every time I drive the freeway at night & it doesn't do a god damn thing. Think retard, think.
>>185708
Right? Don't get why anyone is taking this failure cops advice on anything. Since when have the police been good at ANYTHING they do, especially fighting. Mike always brings up that training like it means anything when our police forces are a fucking joke that mag-dump dudes with 2x4s & pocket knives.
>>185792
Never said top mount was less tiring, stop putting words in my mouth like your daddy puts his dick in yours. My point was that mike had the dominant position, gassed himself to the point that when the round was over he was spread out on the ground, face looking like a fucking tomato, and accomplished absolutely nothing besides human backpack bullshit. He basically just stalled.';

'>>185517
Technical domination means nothing when you're weak as fuck.

That guy has old man strength from years of wrestling, Icy Mike is a weak midget who copes with weapons.';

'>>185799
This but I'm a cm taller and a kg heavier, with 5 years experience
He's simply not fast enough. I'll catch him with something every time he closes the distance';

'>>188433
>Technical domination means nothing when you're weak as fuck.
But how strong is an average guy on this board? Icy Mike is 150 lbs and his lean mass is probably like 130 lbs so you don't have a significant weight advantage over him if your lean mass isn't over 140 lbs and you don't have tremendous weight advantage if it's not over 170 lbs. And if you don't have skill advantage or tremendous weight advantage, you will most likely end up like this guy >>185612';

'>>190909
I like the one where he says the transitional reset after a combo is bad and that space needs to always be filled with something
because he seemingly has no idea about cognitive overload and why those micro-breaks are important to staying sharp for the duration of the match
which is also funny considering cognitive overload and how to induce it in an opponent is an important part of striking martial arts in particular';
