Mentor Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 He looks pretty big for the weight class Yeah, i was about to say that. He will have the reach advantage doing into this, so i suspect Norman will be taking his ass down :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Take him down Norm! Watch his right hand but his left hook too since you will be circling to your right. You will find the opportunity for the takedown eventually. You know what to do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timqwe Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Yeah, i was about to say that. He will have the reach advantage doing into this, so i suspect Norman will be taking his ass down :-) To be fair, Norman is a flyweight fighting a class up, and if he hits 134.5 with jeans and sneakers on, not even a big one at that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had already weighed in officially. They read the early weigh in results, not what we weighed then. I was 142lbs in the jeans and shoes and it was after I ate and rehydrated 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBK16 Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Huge congrats man. Like others have said, your MMA journey is extremely entertaining to follow and the fact you have gotten a few people to look at taking up MMA / BJJ near them means it's a highly positive thing for others also. Best of luck in the title fight, I'm looking forward to watching the video of this fight. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterLeader Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Also - I thought the guy looked much bigger than you but that's not what you want to hear straight before your fight. All the best! What's your style? Well rounded or more of a wrestling focus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best! What's your style? Well rounded or more of a wrestling focus? I'm more of a grappler but I'd been training Muay thai for about 4 months now and wanted to test out my stand up. Probably should have pressed the takedown more but it was a good learning experience.

Mentor Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 I just had a look at the video, It was a very close fight which could of went either way, got to work on keeping the top control, you had him in the mount and could of finished him in the second round, but ended up on the bottom. Had to grind it out, but a win is a win as they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lefty Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Nice win man! I thought it was interesting how he came out orthodox at first and then switched to southpaw almost right away. I thought you would go for more takedowns for sure but like you said it was a good learning experience and got you out of your comfort zone. Great work, good luck in the title fight!

stpierrecanada Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 The whole Tycoon MMA community is living out our dreams through you man, thanks for sharing your story. It genuinely makes me happy to see you succeed in this sport. I can only dream myself.. Takes a real man to step inside a cage with a man trying to hurt you for a pay check to potentially feed his family. We are proud of you Norman. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
