So, essentially what I'm hearing is that I'm being offered a NHB fight against a 50 year old guy. His record is 0-4 and he is supposedly a kung fu guy. The fight would probably be at 155. For the record, I'm 20 and today when I weighed myself, I was ~148. This would take place in about a month.

I don't know what to do. I guess I will talk to Kirik for the rest of the details on Wednesday, but jeez. This event is going to be held at my school's convention center type place. The next night, the same place is holding our Spring Concert which is featuring Roots. So... this will be in front of a lot of my schoolmates and friends.

Consider my mind blown. And to be honest, I wasn't really looking to get a fight this early... Well, we'll see, there are many questions to be answered and many issues to be resolved before I will agree to take this fight.

I'd do it, Just don't lose.

I'd do it, Just don't lose.

Yea, the only thing worse than winning and not impressing anyone cause it's a 50 year old guy is losing to a 50 year old guy. Sigh... Well, I emailed Kirik, I will post as much info as I can get on this guy, but I'll probably be purposely vague when talking about myself.

Do it and show us the video.

When someone looks at your record they're not going to see 1-0(against an old dude), They just see the number.

if you think you can win, do it.

Plus we get to see a video of a 50 year old kung fu guy getting his ass kicked.

if it looks like you are losing, get yourself disqualified. being DQed is probably better than losing to a 50 year old guy with an 0-4 record

"I don't want him beaten. Out of comission." :toothy3:

Good luck Vulgar, and don't take this guy TOO lightly. A broken clock is still right twice a day.

Find out what kind of Kung Fu he does.

Okay, what I'm getting from Kirik is he is "self-trained"... Well, I bet I wouldn't have much trouble on the ground then, but as I said, I won't jump on this without all the information I should have.

Exactly.

In big shows like the UFC or Pride, losing but putting up a good fight is fine, but in little shows like this, no promoter is actually going to bother looking at the tape. He'll just see if you won or not.

Submit him.

Don't take him lightly

make sure he's in good enough shape to fight.

Do not

Under any circumstances

Take a loss.

Where does your strength lie in MMA Vulgar, are you a grappler or a striker?

I've trained with a couple of 50 year old kung fu guys.

One's a retired pilot/marine, who is in better shape than most 20 year olds. Another one who isn't in as good of shape, but he was a boxer when he was in his teens and twenties, and his hands are still fast and hard. Another does decent enough in forms.

Good luck, hopefully your opponent is the former, not the latter.

If I had lost 4 fights in a row, I might seriously think about quiting. Especially if I had NEVER won a fight and was already 50. But thats just me.

That is because you have no heart.
