Ricardo "Dimente" Abreau came to my gym to teach a seminar. He beat me so bad for about 15 minutes I considered closing my gym! Before that it was Jean Jacques getting me ready for a fight and we did mma. I actually cried in the locker room.

My 2nd MMA fight. Guy kickboxed the retina to jelly in my left eye. Then we went outside for a bowl.
my very first weekend of training i was a horrible out of shape slob. so naturally, i wanted to start sparring right away.
guy got on top of me in reverse kesa gatame (think crappy twister side) and hammer fisted me in my stomach for almost an entire 5 minute round, laughing at me the entire time.
he beat my intestines so badly that i had diarrhea for 2 days. real talk.
God damn, great stories, great thread!
Went to shoot fighting school with my teammates .We did 5 min of shoot fighting 5 min of grappling then 5 min of stand up continuously till class was over. Ended up spraining both my ankles and couldn't walk for the whole weekend and then some . This kills the ego.
Jeff glover. I rolled with him at hq in 2012. There weren't any lasting physical injuries, but I felt like forest griffin fighting Anderson silva. He hit me with the 6year old choke. It was like he was getting angry that I couldn't keep up with him.
Orchard every time i roll with that guy he hands me an ASS WHOOPING lol he toe hold the fuck out of me the last time we rolled felt like my foot was going to fall off, I always get frustrated getting handled like that lol
Also rolling with Denny, he was SO fast and SO technical. I would know what he was going to hit me with but he was just 10 steps ahead of my reaction. Also him asking me what I was going to do next was funny, because either way I was fucked :)
I've never landed a punch on my old boxing instructor.. Or beat him in a grappling match. The only move he knows is the Americana and I can't stop it. I'm terrified of that man.
By the way this thread is awesome!
My old coach and friend Henry Martinez use to regularly put a whipping on me as a blue belt and a purple belt. He had armbars that seemed to come out of no where and if I placed a leg within the reach of his arms I was getting heel hooked for sure. Dude is a monster wrestler too.
A few months ago some Japanese MMA team came for a camp at my gym...got absolutely demolished by them, and worse yet I understood the jokes they were making about me, as I understand Japanese while managing to not look Japanese at all hahaha
I ruptured my kidney back when I was regularly training taekwondo sparring with heavyweights (I'm a flyweight hahaha)...never seen my urine that color before....
Denny knows how to make you feel small real fast, he will walk right into your best move, know it is your best shit. Let you it is your best shit. Crush it. Tell you how to improve it. Continue crushing you. Best learning experience I ever had. It was honestly like rolling with a noose around my neck.
i think the times i rolled with magnus in sweden were the most ive been beaten up. or by a brown belt there, oscar. magnus rolled with me and no matter what i did he stopped it and tapped me with it, and then he showed me one of his favourite paths that i use all of the time now and after going through it with me he beat me with it over and over. so half guard > electric chari sweep > mount > monoplata control > either gogoplata or mono plata finish. he told me voer and over how i shouldnt give him the overhook and no matter what i did he got it.
then he said one of his students oscar has a great open guard and that if i can pass his guard properly, magnus would give me my purple belt. i tried for 20 minutes and as you may be able to tell, i dont have my purple belt. i got tapped about 20 times though at least.
In Jiu Jitsu, Brandon Mccaghren Beat the piss out of me in Indianapolis, he let me try and D'arce him, sat there for 2-3 mins fighting it off, then proceeded to bring the heat and just work me. It was an amazing time.
Jeff Vale also had his way with me at the Midwest Training Camp. It was also an awesome experience.
When I played hockey, and I fought a kid named Joe Blake gave me a pretty good woopin, He connected with some good ones. The fights out there somewhere on youtube.
-Its the 7 year old choke! Theres a vid of us rolling at the Dud ranch last year. It was our first roll.. I wanted to see what he would do so instead of trying anything.. I tried reacting to him(we were going super slow) and he made me look so novice.
Eddie smashed me pretty good the first time at hq, but I had an mma fight where I armbared the guy in the first minute and a half..
THEN(using only one arm) he picked me up and slammed me on my head.. then punched me a bunch.
I rolled with Renato one time....nuff said :)
it was the 6 year old choke when we rolled...he knocked it back a year for me out of pity
About 3 years ago, I got obsessed with weight lifting and decided to take a break from training (muay thai, mostly) and focus on bulking up to 225. I did just that, even though my coach was warning me not to. Eventually, I found out why. After 5 minutes of hard sparring when I resumed training, I'd get a pump in my arms, they'd get heavy, and my hands would naturally drop.
I got lit up like a christmas tree. It was pretty much my coach's way of saying 'quit it with the obsessive weight-lifting, it's not helping you'.
Marcelo killed me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sySZDt2rAEM
Awesome elon!!
When I rolled with Eddie I felt like a white belt.
Sean Bolliner,Bill cooper. Every dam day... Yah it suks to be me:o
Jean Jacques always smashes me, Victor Webster tapped me 3 times in 8 minutes, Amir got me 3 times once, it's actually on mts. Jorge Oliveira destroyed me one night too. Oh and the red destroyer fucked me up bad one day. All that was a big reason I dove into strength training head first. Last time I rolled with Adam and Amir we stale mated, I was able to survive because of the added muscle power, those dudes are giant!! Amir is 265, The red destroyer is 220, and Victor is 230. #lift :-)
For my first year and a half of training a girl (Ziggy) crushed me every class.
Yokel decided to set the record for the most arm triangles in a single round on me.
Rolled tonight for the first time in a long time, a guy that weights 10 pounds less than me tapped me may 8-12 times in a row. 5 months ago he couldn't touch me but my cardio is so bad that after a few rounds on the bags, I couldnt do anything when we got on the mats. Hardly was able to hold the steering wheel to get home, almost fell in the shower and my hands could hardly pack a bowl just now, have to rest my forearms on the desk to type.
Eddie smashed me the last time I was out at HQ. In kickboxing Ben Rothwell gave me a good beaten one day sparring at Miletich's, crushed me with a body shot. Igor Yakimov has given me beatins in Sambo and Judo for as long as I'm been training with him. One of my guys Sarkis (hes been with me for 13 years now), can humble the shit outta me from time to time as well.
IT's going to sound silly, but it was a simple sparring when i was doing Krav. I had been sparing once a week on thursdays and I had gotten pretty good at blocking then one day out of the blue. I was sparring the second best guy in class and he caught my leg with a leg kick just right and i couldn't walk right for like 2 days. Off a simple leg kick.
I know what you mean, leg kicks are AWFUL
Ricardo Liborio whooped my ass one day where afterwards he said welcome to purple belt. I was ready to give it back and take a white belt again. Pablo also kills me too pretty regularly.
