The Machine Results From NAGA Rhode Island

First chance I have had to let everyone know how I did at Naga this past weekend.

Silver in No Gi and Silver in Gi. but kinda Gold in No Gi. LOL. Let me explain....

Stacked group made it to gold match and lost to a kid that walked thru rest of division, just like I did. My falt for loss, missed a whip up and ended up in bad spot. After loss one of Naga people tracked me down and gave me the first place sword. Kid went on to expert division and won Gi and No Gi, so they said it wasn't right he entered intermediate
division. They said it was perfect example of sandbagging. I told them I didn't want it, because I know I can beat him I lost because I made a misstake. They made me take it anyways.

Big thing is silver has kept me in running for national title, so I was happy.lol.

Could tell you about Gi because had some wars in that division, but nobody really cares about Gi.lol.

Thats really awesome man. Keep on killin it :)

Congrats....so if you meet your goal is your dad still going to bring you to a UFC in December?

This guy cares about the Gi

If I win title he will do a UFC for me, but we also talked about flying out and training at HQ for a few days. not sure what I want. Trying to worry about just getting title right now. Got 3 tournaments in November 1 NAGA and 2 smaller one's in N.Y. Going to be busy.

OK This is how Gi went Robert.LOL.
I went to gold round, and kid outweighed me by 30 pounds. He was strong with Judo (my takedown stuff sucks) He took me down and I swept to mount instantly. I was going for armbar and lost it, he stood up and knew he didn't want to be down with me again. Ran out of time with 2-2 tie. Went to 4 overtimes, he spent whole time trying to throw me and I stuffed every attempt. I sat down once and motioned for him to come in, he wouldn't so reff made me stand back up. Finally I just went for a leg and latched on, pulled him into half guard. As soon as I did reff stopped and said it was all over. He gave him the win saying he had advantage. I said really???? He stayed off the ground for 4 overtimes, I finally got it there to do jiu jitsu and you stop it...But like my dad said, after 10 minutes the reff was looking for anything he could to end it. But it was pretty entertaining watching me stuff this judo guy over and over again. I saw in the film some of the reffs at the rings next to us started watching the marathon of wills.lol.

Great job congrats

Good Job!

You're a machine

Fly out to HQ, trust! A lot more exciting than going to a UFC! And congrats, very humble approach by you man not accepting the sword..but glad you got it ;)

Good job dude I think you deserve the sword regardless

Great job Machine!!!! Congrats. I second what JC said, and I think you would get alot more out of going to hq than a ufc.

Nice work Connor. I would vote for going to HQ, i've been to a couple ufc events. Going to HQ is gonna be alittle more fun for you. Will we see you at NE Grappling?

post some video highlights man!

Beautiful work Connor! You make us all very proud! Can't wait to see you blossom into a full grown 10th planet MMA fighter, this is gonna be fun! Now where the he'll is the video???

Ok i am going to try and respond to everyone that had questions or comments on this thread, I'm sorry it has takin so long for me to do some stuff on forum. I'm in the middle of football season and have 0 time for anything. Between practice, games, school, tournaments, trying to get some mma time and Bjj time , I get home and its time to shower, go to sleep, get up and start over.lol. In fact the lack of the normal amount of time rolling I'm sure cost me last week at Naga. I think I could have double gold but I have to say felt a liitle stiff and slow. that would be from less mat time than i normally put in and just being beat up from football. I play both ways so never leave the field. Only 2 games left and besides, whats the old saying???, I will rest when I'm dead.......until than, balls to the wall.lol.

Eddie, first thank you for the praise. I hope you and 10th planet will be with me all the way up and including the day they hang a UFC belt around me. Thats still why I do what I do, and push myself so hard. My stand up is turning killer, if I do say so myself.lol. I hear from my instructors and guys I spar with, that I have "sick" power in my hands and feet for a 12 year old. The big joke is when we have a new adult in MMA class or Muey Thai, that don't know me, they put me with them. They still find it funny as hell when I light the new guy up, and use it as lession 1. Don't judge a book by it's cover and never underestimate anyone.lol.

Sorry about video's, I will try to get with my dad and work on it this weekend, we have a bunch I havn't done anything with yet. Like I said, no time. But last weekend brings my record for tournys this year to 67 wins and 11 lose's. Still get pissed when I lose.lol.

As far as what I have lined up for tournys for rest of year, so we can watch out for each other. It looks like this
Nov. 13th Syracuse International BJJ Tournament N.Y.
Nov. 20th Bomb Squad Tournament Ithica N.Y.
Nov. 21st Naga East Coast Championship New Jersey.

Hope to run into some 10th planet Players

Lastly, about me being awared sword. I didn't want it because, My misstake made me lose, him being a sandbagger had nothing to do with it. i can beat that chump.....and I will beat him, someplace down the road.lol. But am glad they made me take it, Badass katana wrapped in snakeskin. Its pretty cool. I still tell everyone I took second, but also show them the cool sword.lol.

Got some other stuff I want to touch on, but I think i will start a new thread for them.

Connor keep at it man, will see you on the 20th

Well done mate keep it up
