Mariusz Pudzianowski vs Marcin Najman MMA Fight

[mhoulden]

Fast and furious for a debut fight. The fight itself begins about 5 minutes in. Incidentally, it's looking very likely that my debut MMA fight will be on the 6th of March next year.

I won't pretend to understand the rules, let alone the niceties of technique displayed (if any), but, well: Go Mariusz!

The rules are pretty simple: you can win on points, by a stoppage or by getting your opponent to submit and tap out. He'll be fighting pro rules, which means you can strike any part of the body whether standing up or on the ground as well as use certain types of leg locks that you can't in amateur or semi-pro rules. Using the jargon, his opponent tapped after 44 seconds of round 1 due to ground & pound.
