Since I've made lots of violent threads before, mostly me being the top dog in them, but it happened finally, I got my ass kicked good. It wasn't bad, I didn't get my ass kicked period, but I got KO'd. First time in my life for real.
I had a friendly match with a good friend of mine, we've been sparring and training together for a long time, and we finally thought we'd go little harder against each other... Now this is the play-by-play, so if you're not interested in details, you can stop reading now:
I was too cocky, I didn't even take any special effort to this one.. well this was a friendly fight, so no bad blood but I should have been more serious. My friend is not very good at ground game, but he is seriously good in stand up. So what do I do? I make my game plan, to take him down and submit him, I can't trade with this dude, I'm not so good compared to him. I'm relaxed, maybe too relaxed not worrying a bit, except his stand up. Well, just before the fight starts, I decide inside my head 'damn.. I'm going to play his game and stand up!'.
What a stupid idea that was. Throwing away perfectly good game plan, and the only plan I should have been doing. Take him to my world. But no... mighty Pekka had to play and try his luck. Well I ran out of luck.
We start by feeling each other up a bit, bouncing and circling each other throwing few jabs. We're both little holding it back until he says 'come on let's go!' and we pick it up. I'm throwing double jabs with my left, trying to set up my over right hand which I've been working for. I try it few times, but he blocks or dodges them countering with leg kicks. I'm getting a bit frustrated, as I notice that I'm not delivering any good shots in. Then I fake a shoot, and go for another over right, this time connecting but it was too weak. He gets a thai clintch with me, gives me few knees and I eat them to the body.
I'm starting to feel like I should have sticked to my original plan. He sees me being a little confused and goes with a punching combo with few jabs and straights, busting my lip and follows up with a liver kick. Now I'm really starting to regret standing up as I'm swallowing my own blood. I go for the double leg and shoot, and I get him to the ground easy. I'm in his guard now and I'm thinking which way should I now win this fight. I'm thinking arm bar, and start setting it up with ground and pound. To my surprise he turns his back to me and I naturally think 'great, now I'll just choke him out' and get his back. From this point on, I can't remember what happened but I was told the rest of the story. I get the choke, but it doesn't sink in and he tries to get up and I try applying more pressure. I slip off him, because his back was slippery, and were both on the ground and I still have his back. He goes for backdoor smoothly and fast, then not knowing what to do with my leg gets up and I get up too. I try a roundhouse kick to the body, but he's able to grab it and *BOOOOOM* a huge right hook to me jaw and I fell on my ass, unconscious, my leg still in his hand. It was a beautiful KO by him.
So that's what I did today. What did you do?
