I'm sure singlet dude is a nice guy, but I can't blame Matt for his reaction.
Also, what's up with that 10th planet logo on the video? :)
I have no idea who told their mother to record that match while her daughter was waiting to go on the next mat over :-)
I dont blame him. That guy had no intention of taking any risk or trying to win. It was frustrating to watch. HOWEVER, Matt could have taken a shot or two.
Me either. Must be those guys from Carlson Gracie. :)Quote:

Unfortunately that's how a lot of points tournaments work here in the Midwest. You get wrestlers or other people more comfortable with stand up who get points and play it safe so they can win. Fortunately we have a sub only tournament this weekend so those people won't be a problem and Mitrione will get someone to engage if he competes.Quote:

Couldn't agree moreQuote:

If your an elite athlete, having played in the NFL, and fight for the biggest MMA organization in the world, you would think he'd be quick enough to shoot a single on a 330 pound man.
Evidence that tournament can expose the areas you are weak in.
The mats in the gym: the playground
The mats in the tournament: the testing room
Have fun experimenting on the playground, and get graded in the testing room.
You may ace the test, but most of the time, you're finding out why you didn't get that perfect score. And at the next test if you see that same problem, you'll be like, "Damn! They got me again!" or "I know the answer like the back of my hand!"
