What's the difference between men and "men"?

No doubt, this kid will probably be the Todd Marinivich of MMA

a pre puberty 100 pound 14 year old boy wont have the strength to do any submissions just like a black belt 5 year old couldnt. Especially no gi where he couldnt even collar choke you.

Jiu jitsu is not magic. This is still a tiny little kid.

There is some bad ass 15 year old state champ wrestler at 103 pounds where I train. I have no wrestling experience and weigh 185 and this kid couldnt come close to taking me down.

kids are kids.

This is the same point I made. Use some context. I quoted the other dude who said he got whooped up by tons of people half his size in pure BJJ. I said that is way different than MMA and used the example of pure wrestling, which is akin to your snowboarding example.

Ok, you chose the ****** route.

Point one - the kid weighs 130 pounds, as has been stated REPEATEDLY ALL OVER THIS THREAD. You decide to magically deduct 30 pounds of weight to make your point. Good job sherlock.

Comparing a 5 year old to a 14 year is still just as ridiculous, and you still look like an idiot for doing it.

Jiu-jitsu is not magic. Neither is your size. Kid could RNC you easily, could armbar you, etc. Strength matters, but if you are just a complete moron if you think you can arm-curl your way out of an armbar or squeeze out of a RNC. Also, cardiowise this kid smokes most people. If you don't know how to box, you aren't going to hit him hard enough to drop him, and you probably aren't going to hit him at all. He's not afraid of some ******-bullrush-grab-and-punch tactic.

Also, I'd take this 130 pounder any day of the week over an untrained 185 pound 25 year old in boxing, wrestling, BJJ or MMA.

I'm humble enough to say that I have a zero percent chance of winning and I would likely submit within ten seconds.

14 Year olds aren't always pre-pubescent midgets... Obviously he's small at 130 but the guy trains a ton, he's gonna be very strong for his size and he will be better in pretty much every aspect of the fight than the people who think they could mop him up. If he punches better, kicks better, has more submission moves, better technique, and better stamina, you guys simply aren't going to crush him because you have 80 pounds on him and used to be in shape. I think a lot of people here are vastly underestimating the stamina it takes just to go three rounds at a competetive level in a fight. This kid can just play small ball and tire you out and then go for the kill, it's not like he would start the fight going toe to toe trading blows with someone who has 80 pounds on him. Obviously pure strength would be enough to beat him sometimes if the right circumstances fall into place, but no one who isn't a trained fighter is a favorite to last 3 rounds here barring absolute freaks of nature physically. LOL at anyone who does manual labor for a living be able to handle this guy because they are stronger, it won't matter when they can't land a single clean shot and catch a few kicks to the face.

man


"man"

I have a feeling that most (if not all) of you old, fat asses are delusional about your fighting abilities and how tough you are.

I'd to see all these internet tough guys just try to shadow box for three minutes. My guess is 95% of them wouldn't be able to do it or would be completely wiped out. That's with no one punching them, it only gets worse from there.

hard to get strong if you havent been through puberty when your that young. he's pretty small you can see a picture of him.

Yah i can see from the picture that he is still pretty small, but you guys are really overstating how much of an advantage this gives. There are a bunch of people here saying they could whoop his ass b/c he's weak, but these guys also obviously haven't been in competitive fighting situations against trained professionals and don't realize they will be insanley winded after round 1. Every sport has it's own kind of conditioning, including fighting. Someone who is a trained fighter and has fought over 500 bouts in his career has such an edge in regards to experience and skill/technique, and people are overlooking this a lot b/c of their egos. The thing is, he will be able to evade people and land calculated counter-attacks. He can wear ppl. out because he is trained fighter, and everyone talking **** in this thread has a day job and thinks they are tough ****. It's gonna be ****ing hard to get off a clean shot, you have almost no chance to get him in a legit submission, and you don't know how to counter **** he is going to throw at you. It's probably pointless to debate this b/c some people aren't man enough to admit that they would probably get crushed by a 14 year old, but MMA fighting is some crazy **** and casually boxing 5 years ago and being bigger does not give people a legit chance to make it three rounds with this kid.

Seems like it should be the other way around.

I don't think I could survive three rounds with this kid, unless you gave me six months of training to prepare. In fact, I would wager that a lot of full grown men could beat this kid if they were in shape and had enough training, maybe 6 months. The size and strength difference is too great.

However, I know that right now, this kid would pwn me.

one interesting point that i don't think anyone has mentioned is that some of you guys are being egotistical and drastically overestimating your edge versus this 14 year old

Either that or some of us *shudders* go outside once in a while.

Its a 130 pound 14 year old that cries when he sees his own blood. Its not Fedor.

After being jumped by 3 dudes, and holding your own... a 14 year old (no mater the skill level) shouldn't even show up on the radar.



We should start a pole to see how many 2+2ers are afraid of their own shadow. I mean, at the right angle... its bigger then me bro.

qft

i'm honest with myself. i'd get completely embarrassed by this kid. It would be so bad getting just smashed by a 14 year old but that IS what would happen

(same for 90% of the posters in this thread, i don't care how big your internet muscles are)

I have boxing and kickboxing trophies and I know how to fight and I'm pretty sure this kid would whoop my ass.

i bench 600 lbs and im not sure i could take this kid

drake is a sicko but i think i'd have a decent shot. i've got 60 lbs on him and have around two years of bjj/mt/mma training. but his wrestling is very good and if he got me down i'm probably ****ed (blue belt in bjj, but drake has unreal jits).

well, right now he'd kill me because i'm in terrible shape.
um schilt is boring but he's really damn good.

a better k-1 example would be be 220 lbs. cro cop breaking 350 lbs. bob sapp's face.
lol at "understanding mma" meaning anything here.

i watch baseball but the best babe ruth pitcher in the world would k me no problem.

edit: cro cop/sapp for fun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOx9vRVVRQI

probably a better example than sudo/butterbean because sapp isn't a fatass and played in the nfl. also i think size discrepancy is a bigger disadvantage in pure striking than it is in mma, especially when you're dealing with an excellent grappler vs an untrained person.

sapp goes down because his orbital bone is broken.

It would be something like this...

Relative size difference is similar, but they are both well trained fighters. The champion, the "small" dude, is fighting the giant.

As a Gracie Jiu Jitsu Blue Belt, i can tell you in jiu jitsu strength, size, weight does not matter. Sure u can push the kid on the ground but once he gets u in his guard if his jits is excellent he can sub ur ass. Jits is about using leverage and your opponent's weight against him.

i think its a terrible idea to take a kid outta school to train MMA, because school allows for alot of time anyways, and hes putting the kid's entire life on MMA. Not many people make it, plus the variance is high, he could get injured or something and not be able to compete, -EV imo. MMA is great for kids though & anyone.

and as a brazilian jiu jitsu blue belt i can tell you that size, strength and weight matter a whole lot. if there is a large skill differential (like the one that exists between drake and practically everyone in this thread) they can be nullified but if you took two guys in the same shape with the same exact skill level but one was much stronger and outweighed the other guy by 50 lbs, the bigger guy wins every time.

being one of the bigger guys at my school (6'2", was 210 then although down to 185-190 now) i spent a lot of time rolling with a 310 lbs power lifter who was around the same skill level as me. in hours and hours of rolling time with the guy, i managed to tap him once (ezekiel choke, my fave in the gi), and that was only because he decided to work on his guard (which he rarely had to bother with; being gigantic and ridiculously strong as well as a fair wrestler he usually ended up on top if he wanted) and my top game was far more advanced than his guard game.

As a BJJ no-belt (we do only no-gi but I have been told I am somewhat like a "no-gi bluebelt") i can tell you that size and strength matter a ton. But against someone untrained in BJJ, you can overcome that. As I said numerous times above, the best chance to beat this kid is a guy who's much bigger and stronger and has at least 6 months of BJJ. Maybe high-level wrestling as a substitute. using that you could maybe GnP him from the top or at least hang on and stall and survive from the bottom. without any training however, people won't even be able to stop him from passing guard for more than 10 seconds and will get dominated.

If I were able to keep the entire fight standing up, I would beat the **** out of this kid.
