i wanted to post this because ive seen the guy he competed against all all our local tournaments. the guy in the singlet is all over the place competing. hes not very good but hats off to putting himself out there so much. i agree with why Matt got pissed. hes a big guy to take down and from what ive seen most people dont take him down often and when they muster up enough energy to do so the guy just stands up. hes a huge dude to hold down.
Matt gets fucked a lot like this in grappling competitions because guys don't want to/won't engage with him. I understand where he is coming from. He has a bit of a temper sometimes but overall he is a really good dude!
hahah ironically 10th Planet Rochester's Tom "Big Cat" Carbone beat the same guy as a white belt with 6 months experience. Tom is now a blue belt with a year under his belt. The guy is a Gracie Barra purple belt.

His opponent played the points game, I understand his frustration but he didn't exactly go after him either. He should not carry himself like that considering someone there would for sure recognize him and he does represent the UFC, other that he needs to work his half guard game and quit his bitchin.
A little birdie told me that Matt's planning on doing the Midwest Submission Challenge in Chicago this Saturday, hopefully the rules there will help him better express his skill set! Trust me, Matt is very, very slick on the ground!Quote:

Even Tom looked at the ref like wtf? Difference between Tom and most guys that faced him are tom will attack off his back and choke u out. He doesn't need the takedown. I did like mitriones Armbar attempt. He should of did the swim move
Lucky for you thats his instructors concern.Quote:

Oh I remember it like it was yesterday, May 5th, 2007.
At Hempfield High School near Greensburgh, PA.
An organization that went by the title "National Grappling Association", since has been absorbed by the Pennsylvania State Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation, there were two large men grappling in the near left corner of the room. One of them was wearing a patriotic singlet with a bald eagle and the Lincoln Monument on it. Under his singlet it looked like he had a sweater on, it turned out to be a lot, I mean A LOT, of body hair. The match went into double overtime where the large man from the videos above won with a takedown.
It does not surprise me he is a Purple Belt.
For nearly 7 years now, at the very least, this man has been competing in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournaments.
threads already getting hilarious.
That was a very impressive teepee Tom.
Matt needs a better guard pulling strategy. You can't expect someone to just dive in there, even though technically they are supposed to engage they don't have to really try hard. Also just grabbing a wrist before you plop will save you points in that format. You can't get mad at people who manipulate the rules to a game you agreed to play. You have to adapt. Or lose.
indeed big cat :)Quote:

It will be interesting to see Mitrione at MSC if he shows up this weekend. I want John Mejia to go up to expert and darce him!
That was barely a flip out. LOL.
That would be a fun match to watch!Quote:

He's a sweetheart, and I love that guy.
He was super nice and just took the screaming and taunting without getting upset or anything. His mom was standing by us and asked that I send her the videos we got. She didn't know who Matt Mitrione was so she was a bit confused as to why everyone was watching her son's matches and recording.Quote:

Tom I'm guessing is about 6'3"ish He competes anywhere from 200-220. When he came into the gym a year ago I think he was about 270lbs.
Yeah, he has always seemed super nice.Quote:

Nick is a good guy, who puts as much time and energy into competing as anyone I know. I was a fan of his before I ever competed against him. Gotta love the singlets
Nick! Dude is a great human being and is always competing. He is a wonderful person to have in this sport!
The singlets are awesome, dude just seems to go out there and have fun with it and that's honestly what it's all about.Quote:

That would be a pretty cool idea giving this guy a mini documentary. He sure does get around a lot. Now he can say he beat a ufc fighter in a grappling match ;)

I'm a legit fan of Nicholas Caggia.
