politude Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 So for my final fight in my entry-level WFC contract My 2-1 fighter Mike McDougal: http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilemanager.php?FID=14765 and he got matched up against a Chris Ferguson who is bad at everything, except for that part where he is a brown belt: http://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=8059 Now, I looked over his fights and he takes you down and submits you, no questions asked, ESPECIALLY after he tries the submissions about 30-40 times. My Blue belt and takedown defense/defensive grapple are screwed. What strategy can I implement here aside from putting the slider all the way to stay standing?

PBR Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 stay on the outside and use your boxing skills --- maybe even counter more and yes stay standing -- also control on ground -- but a lot depends on your secondary skills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I am personally a fan high high aggression and high dammage with about 70% towards single shots. Depending on your strength and punching ability you could floor him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnySep Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Your not that screwed... Look at Damien Maia... he got KTFO'd, hopefully your opponents strike defence is not to good, in which case absolutely stay on the outside and swing for the fences... damage, one shot, aggression, knock him out.

politude Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Well, he has woeful boxing to my mediocre right now but I'm hoping that i could beef up to competent in time for the fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Well, he has woeful boxing to my mediocre right now but I'm hoping that i could beef up to competent in time for the fight. Set your sliders for stay on the outside and counter. Then set your punching for damage. Hopefully when he shoots in to take you down you crack him in the dome, end of fight.

Guest Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Yeah, I don't think this is actually that bad of a matchup for you. Unless your TD defence is non-existent, you should be able to punish him on the feet. Don't hit the ground and it should be an easy W.

Uh, yeah I'm assuming that a brown belt BJJ guy will have TREMENDOUS takedown offence, granted mine isnt really up to par either, not sure whether or not i should be trying to train takedown d, or defensive grapple.

Train takedown defense. If the fight never hits the ground there is no need for defensive grappling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Train takedown defense. If the fight never hits the ground there is no need for defensive grappling. Yes, this. Takedown defense or spar with good wrestlers. He has useless wrestling but nailed quick takedowns, so he may be deceptively good (high takedown offense, low primary wrestling), but if never go to the ground and keep it to the outside after you train your wrestling you are anything but screwed.

DaytonKain Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 goodluck. i asked bout my KO fighter against a takedown spammer and still lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanfu Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 He has useless wrestling, the only reason he got anyone to the ground was probably because they were playing the aggressive game with him. You'll be fine if you keep your distance and set your shit to 75 percent counter 75-80 percent power. If you have any power at all you'll catch him. Just pray your guy doesn't dive in to finish him on the ground lol. But yeah, he should have no chance against you whatsoever. If he does 40 takedown attempts you will probably stuff all of them. Good luck. I'm off to eat cheesecake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

politude Posted September 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 http://www.mmatycoon.com/fightcommentary.php?FTID=42408 Thanks to everyone for your help, looks like he SUCKED at takedowns afterall... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Looks like he sucks at lots of things, he literally did nothing successfully in that fight. Edit: When did we get knockdowns? Or are they just rare? I hadn't noticed one before, usually just a person who gets rocked and ends up on the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimW Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 I've got a fight similar to this coming up. Except he's a purple belt, and I'm a white. I followed most of the advice in this thread, keep on the outside and try to knock him out. any other advice? the fight isnt for 18 days, so any advice on what to train coming into the fight?

Guest Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Takedown def, def grappling and wrestling spring to mind. And if you're going to be looking for a knockout, some punches or kicks may not hurt, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimW Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 The guy also has a granite chin. Now im officially fudged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
