Jean Marc's fight was incredible. Here is a write up from one of the MMA news sites:
“The Flying Tomato” Jean Marc had the arena on it’s feet. He’s a hot prospect for sure! I’ve seen this guy in grappling tourneys (once broke a guys arm with a flying arm bar) I’ve seen him at kickboxing tourneys (slugging with much bigger dudes) and tonight I saw him at mma for the first time. He had the crowd the second he walked in and kept them cheering throught the fight. His transition into this armbar was sweet, I’m sure the fight will be on youtube soon and everyone should take a look at this kid because he’ll be a crazy 125er in the future!"
I am working on getting you guys the video. Stand by. It was an incredible win which included a picture perfect PLAN B!

The flying tomato was at it again yesterday and fought at a catch weight bout at 130lbs. Jean Marc De Groot, often called "Red" by his coach Ari Bolden, is a scrappy yet super technical jiu jitsu fighter out of Victoria BC Canada. "Red" fights out of Fierce Studio (home of Submissions 101.com) and he is the youngest purple belt under the 10th planet Jiu Jitsu system created by Eddie Bravo.
At just 19 years of age, De Groot has racked up dozens of gold medal matches in grappling and started his MMA journey at just 17 years of age. At AFC 7 last night, Red did not disappoint.
His opponent, James Pratt, was a well build kid with tons of power. Pratt actually weighed in at 134 lbs (4 pounds over the limit) but since this was an amateur bout, there were no penalties.
"It wouldn't have mattered if he was 150lbs" Jean Marc said "I'm used to fighing guys bigger than me. That is why jiu jitsu is so awesome."
Round one had a back forth battle on the feet, with Jean Marc getting the better of the exchanges. One women yelled "he can strike too?!!" The crowd was on their feet right from the get go. A definite crowd favorite. When Round 2 hit, Red and Pratt hit the ground. The stronger Pratt landed on top of De Groot but wasn't there long as Red used a sweep called the PLAN B from the 10th Planet handbook. The fight continued and De Groot locked his legs around Pratt's head and arm and then transitioned to an arm lock. Pratt fell over and Jean Marc had one of the most deeply sunk arm bars I have ever seen. Pratt's arm bent and almost broke and the referee stepped in to stop the bout at 50 sec of round 2.
It is crazy how fast this kid thinks and how gifted he is. I can't help but compare him to another fighter nick named "the Prodigy". Mr BJ Penn himself.
Look out for this Submissions 101/ 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu prodigy. He has miles of talent that will indeed bring him far.

Thanks Eddie, Ari and everyone else for the support and props. I felt really prepared in all MMA aspects going into this one, which is thanks to Ari, my kickboxing coaches and all my training partners. Man is it intense getting locked in a cage with a trained warrior! My opponent was very strong and powerful and had good takedown defence so it was a bit of a battle to get him down, but i was confident on my feet so it wasnt a huge deal where the fight was, although i would like it to be on the ground. i managed to get him down with a plan b sweep off of a single leg as he was wizzering me and driving me down hard, then got on top and soon passed right to mount. he was very strong so he immediately turned to his side and posted off his right arm to get up and reverse me into guard, but in doing so left a huge gap for my leg to pull through for a triangle choke, which i did. he flipped me and a i locked in the triangle from the bottom but then he stood up to slam me so i underhooked his foot and kicked my leg over his face for the armbar. as i extended he fell and i locked it in for the finish. He was tough as nails, so he didnt tap when i had it locked in leaving the ref to stop it, but i wasnt 100% sure that i would have finished with the armbar if the ref didnt step in, thought he might be able to get out or something thinking back on it, that is, until i saw this photo, check it out: http://mm-eh.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/AFC7-273.jpg I definitely wanna get in there again, but not for a while. gotta lot of work to do first, and i could do without the stress lol. for now its time for a bit of a break, then back to the training hard!!!
