theodore, if there is one suggestion i could make, it would be to practice some combo punches/kicks. You had a nice reaction right before your first takedown, but there was no follow up. the leg sweep to the knee was good, but again there was no second hit to it.

the other thing i would say is that you need more sparring. You got clocked solid to the head. you never moved, blocked or countered. With him being so tall, when he opened himself up with the head punch, a good forward kick to the liver would have rocked him, and then followed through. He also opened himself up badly with that slow hanging spinning kick. That was an opportunity lost there too.

the lack of focus in any one area shows the weakness in MMA. the hunter that chases too many rabbits usually goes hungry.

Lastly, Footwork, footwork, footwork.

good luck on the next one buddy.
