MMA = Mixed Martial Arts.
Think Pride, UFC, The Ultimate Fighter, Tito Ortiz, Randy Couture, Chuck Liddell, etc.
I did gymnastics and wrestling in high school years ago, and took a few jujitsu and thai boxing classes when I was in the army and later when I was going to college...so I've always basically never been a stand and box by boy's club or YMCA rules kinda guy.
IMHO...it's better to clinch with 'em and throw a few knees, take 'em down and throw a few elbows, and then pound on 'em. Or get 'em in a hold they never want to be in again and make them quit before they get something popped out.
But I'm gettin' way too old for all that stuff...so I'm officially announcing my retirement from brawling...now I'm gonna be more of a whine and wimp out, then run cowardly for the truck kinda old geezer.
This old bag of bones doesn't work quite like it used to, doesn't hold up or heal as fast either, and I've had enough injuries, plus I have enough permanent aches and pains that haunt me already.
