Mrs Rousy, it's time for your meds

[Homicidal_Squirrel]

I doubt Rousy will stand and bang. She still has her jujitsu trainer, Gene LeBelle, who probably won't let her do that. If Tate has worked on takedown defense, and can stop Ronda from taking her down, Tate has a pretty good chance to win the fight.

 

[Zombie_Babies]

Yeah, that's Tate's only real chance. She's gotta keep it standing or else it's ovah.

 

[Homicidal_Squirrel]

Pretty much. Most of these girls don't have a strong wrestling background. If they did, they would do a lot better against BJJ. Wrestling seems to be BJJ's kryptonite.

 

[Zombie_Babies]

Yep, seems to neutralize it nicely. So does a quick, massive punch to the face. BJJ people get knocked out just as easy as anyone else. Thing is, ya gotta be standin' up for that to work.

 

[Homicidal_Squirrel]

Yeah, a nice, well placed punch to the face seems to neutralize pretty much every single martial arts technique. So does a good kick to the face.

 

[Zombie_Babies]

Yup. Or lots of kicks to the leg. That works pretty damned well, too.

 

[Homicidal_Squirrel]

As long as the other fighter doesn't catch the kick and use it to take the kicker down. That's why peeps need to train on throwing inside kicks to the leg. They are much harder to catch, and they also tend to thrown the person getting kicked off balance by throwing their leg out and wide.

 

[Zombie_Babies]

Yep and it does seem like a lot more peeps are using them.

 

[Homicidal_Squirrel]

Yeah, more fighters are using the inside kick, but not often enough. They throw a kick here, a kick there, and then stop. You can seriously limit the other fighter's mobility with those kicks. Mess up a person's leg, and they can't move around, or even put as much power into their punches.

 

[Zombie_Babies]

Yeah, it's amazing how little it's used. It completely ruins a wrestler or striker's game. Can't move, can't shoot. When you make it work it can make you dominant.
