I used to come in running in a lot, and getting overly aggressive. You get that way, because you (get caught up in trying to) win on damage. Youre fighting a different fight. One guys trying to win the round, one guys trying to win the fight.
Thats why I like dealing with Pride rules. I thought that there would be an organization that has that type of scoring criteria. I thought that show would stick around; Id probably be fighting for them right now.
But that whole thing went under. They kind of want to do away with that whole way of fighting, even though its been around for a long time.
The restarts and the old Pride rules, its better.
The yellow card (if) you stall. You cant stall. You have to fight.
You cant elbow. You have to punch. It takes a lot of space. A guy on the bottom wants to get up, he gets up because youre making space to punch. It makes for a more technical aspect to come out. It makes for more transition and movement to happen. Its more exciting to watch and it makes for the better fighter to win.
The way that things are going now, you dont (always) see the better fighter win. They play a game to win.
Thats what my brother needs to do, is play a game to win. Just like I should have done, is play a game to win. But its hard to do that. Thats what you saw there.
